This is one of those 'camel putting its head in its Bedouin owner's tent' situations. With a quasi-monopoly position, Google really has to adopt a 'holier-than-thou' attitude on many of these big questions.
There are even more "conspiracy theory" issues as Google puts it: http://sphinn.com/story/70279
Haven't you heard? Questioning Google is a conspiracy punished by all your links being demoted in value.
Emperor Googs said so,

I'm glad I was too busy the day Chrome hit the news stands. I didn't have time to download it. Then I saw your comments (and others') at Cre8asite and read this article of yours and figured I'd just better keep being too busy until Google straightens this out.

While I can understand the need for clarification on the first three questions, the last couple seem churlish in the extreme:
- so you don't like the design of the browser, don't use it! You don't need to ask Google why they've designed it in such a manner. Of course, it could be some way for G to change the way we think - the mind controlling SoBs!
- hasn't the omnibox search been covered plenty enough? If you don't trust google as the default engine, then change it MSN. Again however, it could be one more element in G's world domination strategy.
I heard that beneath the Googleplex, there's an army of bears ready to march on Poland which will be called Googleland when its been conquered- pass it on
Why do we get this feeling that Google has become the next Microsoft?
(because it did?)
I suspect this is incompetence on googles legal teams part bwellford is right with the position that google has they have to be VERY! carefull - and whuy is poor Matt lumbered with the fallout from this. Ime sure its not in his job description to be chief spokes man.
Also
you can recover password plaintext which is not going help get in installed in big compaonies whose security people may well ban crome.
@ChrisOD:
Well there was a lot of fuss about how wonderful the UI is and I'm talking about a very specific problem with it. I've never ever seen a program that used the window's border as a GUI widget, namely a tab list in this case. It doesn't seem logical to do that, and I called it out.
The omnibox: why send URL data to anyone? There is a difference between search queries where suggestions are helpful and URL suggestions - just search my history and be done with it. Here is another thing: how do we know that the returned suggestions are not ads? In the SERPs at least you can tell the difference between organic results and ads.
And don't worry about the bears. Lyra will get them to come on our side.
"Here is another thing: how do we know that the returned suggestions are not ads? In the SERPs at least you can tell the difference between organic results and ads."
I think this is an interesting point. I would assume that the returned suggestions are non-paid; however, if this is the case, then Google could logically be losing out on potential revenue.
My main problem is that because this is Google who have launched a browser, it's approached with much more cynicism than say a Mozilla launch. There's a sense of pessimism towards G that I feel is somewhat undeserved - but then I am a Google fanboy...
And nice HDM reference ;o)
P.S. It does seem that Chrome struggles with text boxes and HTML tags therein...
Lots of good legal points you make. It sounds as if they are saying that by using Google Chrome, any content you submit is a free for all and no longer your own. Does this apply to website developers? If I design a website and use my graphics, are they saying that when those images appear in their search engines, they can be used freely by anyone? Hmmmm....
