Can you file a bug at http://new.crbug.com/ please? That doesn't sound like the behavior I'd expect.

Sorry, I can't. It wants me to log in with Google ID which I don't and won't have.

Why the hell am I at -1?

Do enlighten me how can I file a bug report against Chrome if I don't have and don't want to create a Google ID.

Ok. Would you mind dropping me an email (mkwst@chromium.org) with details? I'm happy to file the ticket for you.

Well... :) That would require setting up a dummy email account and what not, and that's a bit too much hassle. It'd be far more prudent if you'd remove Google ID requirement in front of the bug repository. I frankly don't understand why it is needed in the first place, at least for browsing the repo that is.

you can browse just fine: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/list

I'm pretty sure all the browser bugtrackers require an account to file a bug.

The behavior you expect out of Chrome is just simply not what its actual behavior is.

Asa Dotzler from Mozilla corrects some of your misconceptions here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3034450.

EDIT: Oh, I see you're actually on the Chrome team. I learned the stuff Asa that describes in his comment in your privacy policy. It's pretty easy to understand.
