Chrome doesn't have spyware. The only reason spyware extensions get installed is because shady websites install them without you knowing. I've had it happen before. As long as you don't browse shady websites and make sure you only install extensions (Basically, go through your extensions list once in a while and prune ones you don't know of/don't use often) you trust, you should be fine.
SickPuppy I think you have a malware extension. You have Conduit Search instead of Google. Might want to look into that.
Right as of now, I only have one problem with Chrome, and it's that all my favicons sit too low in the tabs and look like they're sitting on the top of the window instead of being nice and centered. But all in all, it really looks to me that they're copying the Chrome UI, which is nice and minimal in itself, but hell, make your own minimal UI or something, don't base it off something that exists.
