I uninstalled the Google Web Accelerator after reading that article. If you use the Google Web Accelerator, you MUST read this article.

DAMN pwrusr, thats completely fucked up. I use google every day since i've had internet and now everyone can view my private info. I am MOST definately stop using GOOGLE...little bitches.

It's already well known you should have uninstalled the accelerator, they already told us and stopped downloads of it for the time being. I made mention of it in an earlier thread. They acknowledged it and say they will work to fix it, it seems most make a bigger deal of it than is necessary.

How many times have I said the Google toolbar is spyware? Everyone always says "oh, my antispyware program says it's bad, but it's not..."

ANY web accelerator does that page-caching thing. That's how they work. With today's high speed connections, we really don't need to surf faster. I don't mind waiting 2.1 seconds for my image-laden page to load!

The way I see it, people can see what I'm doing, saying, etc... Any time they want to. Do you want my credit card number? Go through my mail, or my trash... or check my computer. Want my social security number? Check my college records. It's there. Want my phone number? Easy enough. Birthday, fingerprints, stool sample... yup. Someone who wants information can always get it. The Google toolbar is probably the least of anyone's worries.

^^^ I agree. As if any software installed doesn't do something you don't know about.

Ever wonder why a computer has so many "ports"?

Im glad i stayed away from that crap , why would i need to go fast I have high speed!


just think.. anyone who does online banking .,.. google now owns your bank account and your money.

lets hope next time they come out with a web accellorator the programers program the accelerator to cache the info on my hard drive and not on theirs. WTF were they thinking

I'm still using google to search the web though

Google isn't a good search engine any ways. the best search engine is Dogpile then yahoo, then Ask jeeves then some no name search engine then google. I never use google. And this just makes me happier about my choices. sorry to all the guys who had that.

I always liked google since they never had any ads flashing in my face sayin "click here for the latest drug on how to get your groove thing on" or some other dumb crap.

I'll use dog pile a little more now that you told me about it. looks like a nice search engine with minimal ads

thats crazy lol oh my thank god i dont use it

[deevergote]

Google is still my favorite. I never have trouble finding what I need on there! I never tried Dogpile though. I'll give that a shot.

Google CB7 Accord search turned up about 955 hits.

Dogpile returned 64.

CB7Tuner was #1 on both searches. Guess a relevance check would solve the debate.

Google only returned a little more than half the images that Dogpile returned.
