Isn't that what the incognito button is for?
I concur.

Still, I'd like it disabled.

I've used it and I must say: Slowest. Browser. EVER.

You can bet if and when the browser does get plugins there won't be an adblock one since Google lives off their advertisements.

Now THAT'S the helpful NG I know. ;D

Also, BBM, what I should have expanded on was the fact that I'd have to use the Most Visited long enough for that to work. Right now, it's just submitting shit that I only looked at once or twice.

OMG.

"Going incognito doesn't affect the behavior of other people, servers, or software. Be wary of:
Websites that collect or share information about you
Internet service providers or employers that track the pages you visit
Malicious software that tracks your keystrokes in exchange for free smileys
Surveillance by secret agents
People standing behind you"

The last one made me chuckle.

Meatspin is only a website. You can easily get away from it unlike smouch.

I love Google Chrome 100%.

I always always always wanted a browser like this.

It has a clean and efficient interface that doesn't waste screen space, the status bar pops up only when you need it. It has the "bookmarking button" like Firefox, and it's faster than Firefox in my experience. I'm sure it's secure also, and everything about this browser is neat and polished, even in the beta stage.

Bravo Google, amazing amazing amazing. You have done it again.
