I am currently taking business law, and I assure you that an EULA with this in it would be immediately thrown out of court before the case even started.

A contract requires a "meeting of the minds", despite what a lot of software businesses want, they can't just put anything into an EULA and have you agree yes or no to it to use their program. They can put reasonable agreements such as "you agree not to use their program for profit".

Since there is no meeting of the minds they cannot enforce such a contract upon someone.

Seriously? Any legal types fancy pitching in a stating if this would actually fly in a court of law? Also, if I don’t opt to send usage statistics, how the hell do they know what I did with the browser??

There's also a new secret clause in the EULA? "Google revoke the right to do no evil."
