The ignorance is strong in this one. Google complies with the same rules as every other browser and search company operating in the US. You think you are safer on firefox or IE? if you do then you are a foolBe a good citezen and install Chrome. Make it as easy as possible for the NSA to ensure you are not a threat to our national security.
Chromium and FF are foss, feel free to audit their code for any exploit vectors the NSA can use, and if you don't trust whoever is compiling the binaries you download, compile it yourself.You can also be sure that if anyone tried to add backdoors for a single nations government agencies to two massive international collaborative projects, someone would call foul on that.Chrome does have Google additions, so maybe they are adding backdoors. IE is a complete black box.The ignorance is strong in this one. Google complies with the same rules as every other browser and search company operating in the US.

Because the other browsers are totally safe and nobody will ever spy on you through them, right?Be a good citezen and install Chrome. Make it as easy as possible for the NSA to ensure you are not a threat to our national security.
Oh, don't worry about that. The NSA scans only for certain content like "semtex shipment arriving at noon" "rendezvous point outside Astor Plaza, Times Square, 12:45" "handler code name: 'Grandmastersexsay'" "??? ????"Be a good citezen and install Chrome.

Google just doesn't like the competition, that's all.It's also funny considering Google has been leading the charge when it comes to pushing for changes in the way the government is able to collect data.
Just like the intentionally flawed encryption the NSA pushed out through the RSA years ago, that we only just recently discovered was compromised? If you think anything the NSA puts out is purely a security "enhancement", you've got your head in the sand. They don't do anything out of the goodness of their hearts. If the NSA wants you to use XYZ encryption method, then it must be trivial for them to bypass it, and thus getting Google to standardize on it only benefits the NSA.Next, there is NSA code in Android, but it has nothing to do with backdoor spying. It's in the Android Security Enhancement project which makes the OS more secure against threats. It's been a part of Linux for years. The code is open source, you can go see what it does for yourself.
