I see that you clearly are ignorant of what this actually means? Maybe other tech's are also ignorant of what this really means? HTTPS protocol, by design, is secure and private.

User will think - ooh, faster = better. In all probability this is just the very first change in how local software manages HTTPS url's and OTHER BROWSERS MAY BE FORCED to do similar EVIL as the user (sheep) experience of Chrome users will be faster (the local device will now store the actual media and link it with the stored URL) By our silence and by our acceptance of the method and how Google does what it does we allow this business to dominate and control. One could also argue that not only is this abuse, but it is fraud. As many things Google is often misrepresented. It should be made clear to consumers that they are products. Society should step up and Governments should do much much more to protect the weak, the stupid and all the sheep. The Google users do not expect, understand or agree that all the https url's they visit will be tracked, used and stored. And, this is why this is abuse and/or evil.

If you have trouble finding any such, try googleing for "browser download". Oops! But I guess that would expose you to mind numbing and
