Yesterday, we covered the launch of Google Chrome, its new web browser. Just a day later, we have already spotted a Google Group dedicated to Google Chrome Help issues with a few Google employees working to solve problems (Google Chrome Guide 1, Google Chrome Guide 2, Google Chrome Help Owner).
So far the group is pretty active. It's a great place to visit to get help on Google Chrome. That said, I get a ton of emails about me helping random webmasters about specific issues, and well, the best recommendation (and only one) is that you all should check out Google Groups. It really is a great asset.
Check out the discussions on Google Chrome Help for more information.

Tried Google Chrome, I have Explorer 8. Took Chrome off again as I could not see any personal advantages. After this no hyperlinks worked and it cost me £45 to get somone to diagnose the problem and it took one hour to fix the problem in total.

I downloaded chrome today [7/3/09] and while it seems nice, there is no search box, there is no 'view' in the tabs and most importantly to me, my norton toolbar went away and I use that daily, I havent been able to find out how to get it on chrome either after hours of searching, for which I went back to firefox.

The best liked feature of Chrome to me is its capability to handle saved login IDs and passwords. Though many other browsers have it, they do not work often. But Chrome has not been able to properly load the saved IDs & Passwords for this site called, www.way2sms.com Please do the needful.

I generally liked the speed and simplicity of Chrome but have gone back to Firefox. For me the killer was that you can't have the same bookmark on the bar at the top of the screen and in the Other Bookmarks folder at the same time. It looks like you went to some effort to make sure it worked that way. You may even consider it a feature. I consider it a BUG!

Guys, bring back the start page's design! it was really amazing but now it is not so esthetic as before redesign: * The frame border (around page thumbnail) looks heavy * link bar on wide screens (like on my laptop 1680x1050) was more usable when it was on left. PS: * on my screen res there's some free space to pu t more page thumbs. It was really useful if I can somehow set the number of thumbs (for my res. it is about 12-17)

Very nice browser. I would like to add 2 features at the moment: 1. Pannel of bookmarks available on a right click on the page or on the tab or something else but not put it as a third pannel. 2. When browsing local files beeing able to go through directories that have been visited like in Opera but not close children untill you will not change the other way of directory browsing. This feature is implemented in some linux file browsers and is very useful and allow quick access.

Sadly, Google Chrome is the First Browser not supporting PowerPcs. Only for intel Macs. Anyway, I will keep my PowerBook so, Hello and GoodBye Chrome ! ! ! !

Dear Chrome Developers, PLEASE remove the "show saved passwords" option! Why is this feature needed at all??? Who thinks this is a good idea to allow SHOWING all the passwords in plain text?? At least in FireFox there's an option to guard this with a master password, although by default it is not guarded, so not good enough either. I consider Chrome unusable for me until this is fixed, although I really like this browser in any other way. It is faster than FF and better than Opera. It's a real shame about this feature.

My website does not work well on Chrome!!! Pictures are missing or distorted or wrong ones are opened. Some text boxes are missing. So far www.jayseducation.com is concerned, the browser is a waste of time. Tom

I recently downloaded Chrome and I like it's performance. The one thing I don't like, is the bookmarks which automatically appear across the bookmark bar- and I can not hide the bookmark bar, because I need the "other bookmarks" button to get to all of my sites. There should be an option just to have the "other bookmarks" button, WITHOUT the annoying bookmark bar (whose bookmarks bear no resemblance to my browsing....marks are displayed for sites that I haven't visited in YEARS!!)

Chrome is good, but not perfect as some people said. Flash developers are facing some problems with handcursor in chrome, I hope in next version they fix it.

Hie, This is Kapil Sharma form India. there is one basic problem with chrome that if we try taking print through Chrome it does not give page to print option, it only shows print All pages. The other clicks are disable. While opening the same site on other browsers like Firefox and internet explorer it gives option to take print of which page. Y is dat so. kapilsharma@myself.com

Not that you folks'll pay attention, but please stop shoving your Chrome ad in my face. I've used Google as my homepage for 7 or 8 years ...maybe it's time for a change. I don't appreciate the intrusive, self serving ad every time I open Firefox. Yes Chrome's fast, but that is because it's stripped down and therefore limited. I've tried Chrome and found it wanting in many areas, especially the dirth of estensions and that expletive deleted required updater software (as a result I have removed all Google software from my computers. I will NOT be told when to update). So there it is, stop buggin' me or I'll go play in somebody else's sandbox.

Needs tweaking. But I like it. I still can't get torrents to stay associated with my client. The "saving" feature in Chrome needs work. I got PDF files to work with the "fix". The Ctrl+F (or find on page), needs to be on when you turn it on, even when you click to a new page. Status bar of links at bottom. Where is that option? I fumble through Chrome.

Chrome seems to be good for speed - but its user interface is appalling. It's a triumph of minimalism over usibilitu. Getting rid of the file,edit, view menus seems to be fashionable these days - but why? It takes up very little space and gives you every command you could possibly want in a logically grouped manner. Chrome just has the single rather sparse menu from the spanner. Chrome also lacks the handy links you get in Firefox (history, bookmarks etx ) and it doesn't seem possible to customise the toolbar much - I had to search a fair bit just to get the home button on! Can't seem to view history or books as a sidebar like you can in Firefox - ithis was always very handy. Overall, it seems like they've ignored the best of the past and just tried to be different for the sake of it. It seems very dumbed down to a power user.

I have been a chrome user for quite some time, and support the suite of chrome apps in my business. My question/feedback is ... I recently chose to try the shifting theme option for my iGoogle and GMAIL apps. Is there a way to "click through" the randomly choses theme? I am color blind and in the darker themes I cannot read anything or see any buttons, save the most contrasted text. HELP Michael Starnes michael.starnes@gmail.com

I like the fact that Google Chrome has most of the features Mozilla FireFox has like the WOT add-on and the speed dial feature and it browses fast than Mozilla FireFox... Now I would like to be able to download toolbars to the Google Chrome browser. Right now the toolbars are not supported by Google Chrome. Please update this suggestion soon. Thanks.

In regards to the speed dial add-on, there should be groups so you can set more pages as a speed dial. Right now as it stands, I only see 89 speed dial windows... and if it could be possible to import the speed dials form Mozilla FireFox. This would make the Google Chrome the best browser....++++++ (Thumbs up!)

Shock Wave and other plug in's are crashing when I go to web pages that use it. I have to restart Chrome for the plug in to work. Most annoying. Howsumever, I won't go back to IE, or Firefox. Just get some one to make the plug in's work.

I run the 64 bit version of Ubuntu Linux (10.04) so that all my RAM (8 GB) will be recognized and used. Adobe has released the second beta of its Flash Player. I urge you to make it available ASAP as a built in feature of the Chrome browser. When I start Chrome I now get a message saying that my Flash Player is out of date (true!) and it sends me to an Adobe download web page. However, I just do not know how to download and properly install this software (despite a couple of days searching and experimenting). Please therefore work with Adobe to put this 64 bit version of Flash Player into Chrome, despite the fact that it is still in beta-2. Thanks for your help.

I can't believe anyone would want to use this P.O.S. After years of learning to use browsers, Google Chrome is just wierd. Nothing intuitive about it. Nothing familiar about it. Why bother? Hit Start, then go down Programs/Google Chrome/Uninstal Google Chrome and get rid of it. Even worse, Google Desktop? Spyware, a true security breach if ever was. Think I need to open up searches to include the Internet? I search my computer for what I think might be there. I search the Internet for stuff I need that isn't on my computer. This is all part of the movement to put everything in the "Cloud" wherein there'll be nothing on your computer, no software, none of your docs or pics, it'll all be on a server somewhere and you'll PAY to access it just like you pay your cable bill. Then, it's on to monopoly land where they'll just jack your rates whenever they want just like the cable company.

I have written 5 FIVE times to Google about a problem and I d not get any replies. Can anyone else help?? Google does not seem to want to know. I run it on my iMac and get more and more annoyed when I click the x button and it closes Chrome. I really need a warning as I have several pages open and I don't want to lose these. I have ticked the preference 'Warn before quitting' but it takes absolutely no notice. Is there some setting that I can unset to make this work??
