It's fast I'll give it that, shame it only imported some of the bookmarks from FF though. I think it might have potential.:ok:

No option to sort bookmarks and the only way I could find them is to have a whole extra bar across the top of the screen.

It was fast though, so sort these bits out, google, and you may have a winner.

Does this mean it would be unsafe to do your online banking? I will leave it alone for that sort of thing until I get some proof that it doesn't compromise security

I use FF3, and it imported all settings...although I only have one install of FF on my machine; those who have had problems are those with more than one FF install.

However, no plug ins or addons (Google toolbar included - where I have all my bookmarks) are currently supported.

I played about with it this morning, I like the UI, but PPRuNe looks horrible with all those adverts plastered all over the place (AdBlock Plus is another must have addon).

When Chrome supprots addons, I currently use twenty with FF3, I'll consider switching.

For info, it puts a program called 'google update' into the start up folder.

I don't think the Register were too impressed with this aspect of Chrome.

For owners of web sites it seems that to use their service you sign away all your copyright to your own website.

It's small wonder now that Google have been suspiciously quiet about Phorm / BT and their alleged illegal interception of search requests by internet users when they are up to something very similar.

It might be worth reading some of the links provided on the end of the above article for more background details.

Been using at home and work all day, rather like it!
A lot cleaner than a lot of browsers and I like the developer/nerdy bits
The incognito browser window is quite handy at work too :}

Be interesting when they tie it in to the do the full OS release

Or, as it quickly became known in the office: Porn Mode.

Google have now changed that EULA

The original was so unconscionable that I suspect it was a piece of legal boilerplate that got put in there without thinking by some eager beaver clerk

:ok:

There's another (potential) catch too:- Chrome lets Google log user keystrokes - ZDNet.co.uk

Anyone else having difficulty opening pdf documents whilst using Chrome ?
My screen's frozen a number of times and I've had to use Task Manager to shut it down ?
Any ideas ?
No problem on same sites with Firefox

So obviously designed by/for Merkins..... few words and lots of pictures!!

Having said that.... I quite like it. Then again, as I have the technical abilities of a hamster....

I downloaded Chrome last night, and installed it.

First impressions were that it was spartan, but nonethless effective.

After playing with it for about 20 minutes, I closed it down and opened Outlook to review the day's emails.

Ten minutes or so later, my firewall reported that Chrome was attempting to access the Internet - apparently of it's own accord. :ooh:

It isn't on my PC any more.

Downloaded it, Used it, deleted it.....Wiped all traces from the registry.....Don't think I'm trusting it at the moment.......Maybe in about a year when the open source guys neuter it.....:}

I spotted that "GoogleUpdater is trying to access the Internet" from ZoneAlarm.

I'd removed Chrome (didn't really "do it" for me) - but the "updater" was still there and trying to do something. Strangely, although "Search" could find the GoogleUpdater.exe file, Explorer - with "show hidden files" turned on - couldn't see it, or even the folder where it lurked.

It was still present in msconfig and in the registry, too.

I did the full "manual virus removal" process on it - which took quite a time. No way is that ever coming near my PC again.

It appears that caution is necessary at the moment.

Keef - I cannot recall, but was there an option to disable the updates in install? If there was I probably did :) and the only update.exe I have is dated 14/2/2007 so I suspect it is from an older Google function? Also no sign of it in MSConfig nor 'Run'/'Run Once' and it is set to manual start in Services.

What I am getting now, however, is ZA warning me of Macromedia Shockwave updater 'PostUpdate.exe' which is a new call. This file in its various guises can be problematic but this version 'appears' clean to my various virus check bits. However - it is trying to visit 66.132.186.162 which appears less healthy and is actually onlineservicesidm.com which seems to be linked to SEO stuff. I have submitted a new website to Google etc so maybe that is it? I think I'll nuke it anyway:ok:

This was on the BBC's site today.

Just another little problem to concern one when using Chrome.

I think I'll stick with Firefox for the immediate future.
