And, in particular, it's one of the principal targets of Windows 
malware.  One of the best reasons to use any other browser.  I avoid 
Chrome since Google gives me too much attention otherwise.  I also have 
a gmail account but rarely use it for the same reason.  But I do use 
Chrome on my Nexus 7.  While I normally use Firefox on Windows or Linux 
I don't use it on the Nexus 7 because the implementation is much 
different and I don't like it.  Chrome is a good fit there.
