This CCNA study guide explains how CSMA/CD works on Ethernet.

While this policy does not apply to the Google Chrome browser; the newest iteration (version 16) of Google Chrome always asks you to sign in to "your Google Account" when it starts. Even if you do not sign in to the Google Account, it takes longer to get to your webpages that you want to view.

I feel that this could hurt their business in the short run, and maybe even permanently.
