Does Google use Chrome to help crawl the web?

We have been doing some research regarding backlinks and are finding some startling results. We noticed that even though certain forums will hide signatures to all non-registered users, Google will still find some of those links and list them when you check your own backlinks.

There are two possibilities that we can find as the reasons for this to occur. 1) Google bots has somehow achieved registered user status in this forum (is this possible?) or registered users of that forum who use Google Chrome (I'm sure they follow the rules and do it only from those that have enabled information sharing) but then if they use Google Chrome for this, do they also use the Internet Explorer toolbar to do this?

Is there a third possibility? (we tried logging out of those forums, the signatures do not show)

Has anyone ever checked (a packed sniffer?) the kind of information that is actually being sent back to Google, when information sharing is enabled?

    Hi, Thanks for this thread.
    I am wary of Google, so your observations would not surprise me.
    It is amazing what Google can do, using some types of technology
    that we, the users, do not even know about.
    Keep up the good work

      It didn't happened with me any time. Do you have some proof that Google is showing signature as back link from non public or password protected pages. Google uses its search technology algorithm to crawl different websites and I don't think so that there is any influence of Google chrome in website crawling.

    no, google and other bots have a command line crawler thats pretty fast and there is no gui browsers but fast scripts like curl etc.

    It's the Google Toolbar that does it. Chrome has it built in. IE and Firefox, you have to download and install it. Once you enable information sharing, it batches up shedloads of useful information from everywhere you go and everything you do.

    This is, in general, a Good Thing for anyone and everyone who wants the internet to be fair and search engines to give the best results... so IMO you should always have information sharing enabled.
