hi
During some technical rambling, ran into this...
http://code.google.com/p/rlz/wiki/HowToReadAnRlzString
Apparently, the default google chrome install has this string setup in some options, which kind of puts and "ID" on the installation of the google chrome.
So if we were to use the same browser installation with our hobby ID and our real ID, to login to google at different(exclusive times) google on their end can still see that both our real and hobby ID's come from the same installation of the chome browser...
Any experts can shed some more light on is my assumption is correct, and if this sort of ID can be used by other non-google websites also (who use the open-sourced rlz library?)

Don't use google for anything!
Sorry this is not about Chrome specifically, but my advice is still do not use google for anything in the hobby!
For example, I spoke with a lady by phone who uses Google Voice and 20 minutes later, I received a call (on my hobby phone) from the same area code (different from my own) as the lady's phone #. The call was a robo-call trying to sell something. I only picked it up because it was from the same A/C as the lady. I do not believe in coincidences.
My hobby phone is only on for playtime and I keep it off, with no battery installed and in a secure place at all other times.
Google is BAD for the Hobby!!
