Apparently the link is no longer there, i just looked in mine for it, and it looks like theyve done away with it.

Yeah that's one great thing about FF – Lots of plugins.

Still though, that's part of the reason I find Chrome to be a thing of beauty. Simplicity. I don't have any plugins installed, and I hope I never do.

Firefox has a good addon called better privacy that automatically deletes flash cookies everytime u exit the browser. good to know chrome finally got something to delete it as well

This isn't wholly true. I used Chrome exclusively for the last week, and having Better Privacy LSO remover on FF, I opened it up just to shut it and see if there were any LSO's that weren't being removed by Chrome, and lo and behold, it found 18!

@BigBrotherChrome:

If you use Chrome with a packet sniffer, you'll see they're fairly honest about what they're sending back and forth.

Chrome is an open source browser, so the window for Scandal is limited.

I was more suspicious of Google than I was of Adobe before I became aware of this (Flash Cookies). I am still concerned about Google, and what using its applications and services means to privacy. I would love to use Chrome, but have yet to put it on my system, because I have not seen anything that has given me confidence that Google is not somehow tracking, storing, and or sharing WWW activity. Does anyone have any information regarding Google Chrome and privacy, from someone other than Google of course. Any links to independent WWW sites that offer information regarding privacy protection and Google would be welcome, please post.

A lot of spyware protection apps don't touch Flash. One app I like is CCleaner, . I inadvertently walked into:

Visited a site which wouldn't send Flash content until I accepted the "Flash cookie(s)." I watched the video, then reset the browser Flash settings to storage = none. Looked clean.

Ran Ccleaner, and found a history of Flash site preferences, which Ccleaner deleted.
