    I don't like it. I don't need the suggestions. They are annoying.
    It is the same with any browser, not just chrome. I use firefox,
    and noticed the annoying suggestions, but also noticed that
    Google's page was taking longer to initially load, reading from
    clients1.google.com

    I blocked it with adblock, and the page loaded faster and the
    suggestions went away. Apparently you can set preferences
    on Google to disable this feature, but only if you accept their
    cookie.
    I came in to the world with nothing. I still have most of it.

    Well, they are starting to backpedal already

    I still don't see any justification in recording the IP address of a user except,perhaps, as part of some profit gouging scam?
