EULA's in general are not bad... but this specific term certainly is.

Because most content you "display on or through" the browser is not your intellectual property, therefore you cannot "confirm and warrant" that "you have the all the rights, power and authority necessary to grant" license. Meaning that Chrome is not a legally a web browser. :-S Anyhow, one moral of this story probably is that we should not be ignorant towards the legal tricks (and schemes) that may be hidden in software legalese. The power is with us, the community, through this wonderful thing called the Internet! Moreover, if I get it right, you are breaching the ToS if you browse the web with Chrome.

But I wonder if they can actually tell (and prove) that a particular content, which is posted/uploaded/sent through their browser, is actually posted through it, as long as you use sites that are not controlled by Google or its affiliates, and as long as Chrome does not actually index your content or send it right to Google for archival. If it does the latter, then it would mean that Chrome should be put in anti-malware databases and be removed from computers automatically by security suites. ;) Ridiculous.
