Google Image Filter Being Too Sensitive Again? | Main | Should SEO Companies Offer Refunds?

Submit Your Google Chrome Feedback Over Here

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.

i'm willing to try it out just to see if it works more efficiently than FireFox... if it's faster than Firefox and isn't IE, then i'll use it

 

The merging of the address bar and search bar in Chrome gives Google too much control over navigation. It separates companies and website operators from their website addresses and brands.

Companies spend heavily to establish and maintain brands. Google has just imposed itself between consumers and businesses. Direct navigation has now become proprietary search, whereby Google uses its discretion to filter out web addresses and domains that it deems less relevant.

I object and I hope you do too.

 

I will not be using googles new browser becuse of the terms Google has check them out at cnet.com

 

I can’t use Chrome at work because of the info that appears in the new tabs. Even though the frequently visited websites are visited before I start work, during lunch and after I clock out, there they are for all to see. It would create a potentially embarrassing situation if ALL of the most visited sites were not work related.

Even worse… Most of my most frequently visited websites revolve around politics and religion. I have extreme views on both subjects and I try my best to keep that sort of thing private.

I know that I can open a new “incognito” window but then all the cookies get erased and it’s a pain to log into everything, every time, etc…

It would be my very strong preference to disable the personal info presented on the new tabs. The personal info display makes Chrome more of a professional hazard than anything.

 

Show password feature is not at all required & is not safe for if someone uses our computer for a while our password may be acquired by him.
so PLEASE remove this feature in future versions.
I am currently not using chrome due to this.

 

The spellcheck (which doesn't recognise the word Google) can't be turned off. And all those red squigles bug the heck out of me.
I can't install a Google Toolbar (another word spellcheck doesn't know) on Chrome because the toolbar site thinks it's Firefox.
When I right-click an image I can't see its properties, like filename and size.
In short: nice try Google, but still a long way to go...

 

When you close all the tabs, not the main window , the browser should default back to the home page or the like, same as opera. not close the main window as well.

 

The bookmarks import feature doesn't allow for importing bookmarks from Firefox. There is a drop down list and for me I could only see Internet Explorer available for importing from.

 

sadly there is no way to export bookmarks in Google chrome

 

Chrome is amazing!. It is extremely fast and really easy to work with. There are a few things that are missing, but I'm sure it will all be worked out with time. Great work Google!

 

When i forget to use the incognito feature, it would be nice to be able to be able to delete certain websites from the history. Not the whole day

 

I tried downloading some files from a site and it took an interminable amount of time. Compared to it Firefox, which was running the download just fine. Not acceptable.

 

I am very pleased so far with Chrome. So far I have one request. I want to have the bookmarks folder available all the time but I'd like it to be at one end of the address bar so it doesn't encroach on the page area. It seems the only choices I have are to have an additional bar that just has the one folder or else always open a new tab to launch a favorite. I tend to hop from site to site without keeping them open and that is not easy. Or am I missing something?

 

When I watch videos the browser will freeze and I can't watch the whole video unless I minimize it and reopen it. The scrolling is a little too fast too. I would like a little more buttons on the top of the screen also but that's not a big deal. I do like this browser though, it's great and it's faster.

 

the find box doesn't search the text in editable fields or text fields. Doh!

 

its generally alright but it lags horribly when i open many tabs - something which does not happen in Firefox.

 

Class search menu of Stanford University (axess.stanford.edu) is entirely disorganized.

 

I have been accessing gmail through chrome.But it does not have auto refresh facility

 

In firefox (and IE too) you have a dropdown at the address bar that gives you the list of all recently visited sites. Here I have to delete the address in the address bar to h or w (depending on whether I gave http or www) in order to get the list of adresses. providing a dropdown functionality wont cost much space.

 

I would like to have a search bar with options for different search engines - at the top level of the UI. I have it on Firefox and this might be the SINGLE most important reason for me to stick with Firefox. No, I don't want to dive deep into some config menu to change the (default) search engine.

Could not able to install plugins in google chrome... this could be solved?

 

User unique browser Profiles.
Yes.
Multiple users, one OS profile, multiple Browser profiles.
Seperate skins, font sizes, bookmarks, homepages, tab management, etc... as well as the ability to share between Browser profiles at the choice of the users.

While were at it...let's just make chrome Browser profiles full functioning personal internet profiles for each user, whereby the user can set up the Browser information and homepage very much like myspace, ning.com, facebook, livejournal, and the like. Upon visiting such sites, Chrome would inquire the user if they would like to import their chrome Browser user profile information and relative settings (avatar's, privacy settings, for instance) into the new site for them.

I'd like to make a new myspace...Chrome asks, "would you like me to use your same chrome settings to aid in setting up your new myspace profile?" I would say, "yes I would...except for this, this, and this..thanks."

At the opening of chrome, it would show profiles similar to MSN messenger, gmail messenger, etc... whereby you can select your profile from a presented list or drop down before beginning; a default profile can also be selected for those that do not need to use multiple profiles.

Family security monitoring for "children" profiles would also be an option, by which the "parent" profiles can set restrictions regarding the browser for the "children" profiles so to fit the parent's parenting taste.

 

Google Chrome, first of all you need the menu bar option like firefox, you need the status bar like firefox and IE, and also you need to have a customizable download option like IE. You need more CUSTOMIZATION, then maybe I'll use the browser, it's fast, I'm going to be using it on my XP PC, but you need a better version before I use it on my Vista PC, sorry still not good enough.

 

Was posting about this in a forum, moved away from the post and returned to complete the post only to find a chuck of my post had gone missing. I navigated away using the address bar so had to use 'back' to return to the forum. Still trying to work out how to open an address in a new tab lol

Time to DELETE CHROME

 

Sorting bookmarks is something i would like to see. Right now there is no way (at least I can't find it) for me to sort my bookmarks. Other than that this is a much faster than all the other browsers. Hope you guys can resolve the security issues pretty quick.

 

My home page defaults to google.com.et. I set my home page and Default Search to google.com/webhp. Later when I try to do a google search with the Address Bar, this always goes back to google.com.et, unlike FF.

 

cantoneseinput.com where the function key + and - for more-choice selection fail to work in browser 'chrome'

 

SOME good features, I have tried to set the status bar but i could'nt find it in options. Is option available or google missed it.
anyway good effort and people shouldnt loose their hopes as its the start.
good luck GOOGLE

 

Zooming page is zooming just letters and not pictures like most of browsers... when I read newspaper on big screen i want to zoom it up a little, whole page

 

No addons (that i can see)... autorefresh webpage dosen't exist (for forums and online games)

 

1 - doesnt support network browsing ( \\192.10.10.10 for eg)

2 - would be cool to turn off images, like in opera, although havent tested incognito mode in full

but overall it feels like a "best of" of opera and mozilla, with a pretty package. And it's fast too...

 

it doesn't work properly with downloading on and in facebook..
i hope they sort out this problem soon!!!!!!!

 

just browse aajtak.com and see i am unable to read one section that is in hindi.

 

i can only scroll down using my touchpad. i cant scroll back up. and i cant install google toolbar with my old bookmarks

 

I'd like it if the "Other bookmarks" icon appear next to the two icons at the top right ("control the current page" and "Customize Google Chrome"). As it is I have to click "Always show bookmarks bar" every time I want a bookmark, as I prefer to keep the extra space at the top.

 

I love the way Chrome is. I am just disappointed with one thing. In other browsers whenever you click on the mouse wheel, you can scroll up and down pretty fast. However, this is not available in Chrome. I hope they add it.

 

Google Chrome is very fast, but with firefox i can have a lot of extensions... so... i keep my Fierfox.

 

1. scrolling: The page gets scrolled by a big amount for a single scroll. they should either reduce the scroll factor or let me customize it.
2. it opens IE's proxy settings; can't Google make one by themselves like FF did? i dnt care if they internally use same stuff but i was disappointed to see an ie window popping up from chrome.
3. there is no 'start searching this page as i type' option (u have to press ctrl-F to get the search box); firefox has this option and i love it
4. NOT extensible: what the heck?

i like its look and feel; speed also seems to be fine. but then one day is not enough to judge speed and stuff. waiting for the full version release. till then FF3 will continue to be my default browser :)

 

My main problem with the browser is the that the wheel scroll speed is much too high. I would scale it down on my computer but then it is much to low on all other applications. So it would seem that the problem is on your end.

 

THE EULA HASN'T CHANGED FOR THE SPANISH VERSION.

Google is EVIL^9999999999999999999999999999999999

 

I'm currently a Firefox user with addons:
AdBlock Plus
NoScript
Forecast Fox
Cooliris Previews

What I like:
1. Nice and clean. Hope it remains that way through the eventual updates.

What I dislike:
1. No Adblock, running a browser without AdBlock for Firefox greatly enhances my appreciation for the little things in life.
(I forgot about all the crap on websites that you don't want to see.)
When will there be addons like Adblock Plus?


 

In Firefox, if i have any page open and active, with nothing highlighted or selected, i can start typing something i'm looking for and it will automatically process it in the Find field. Also, in firefox, to scroll dynamically, i use the mouse wheel BUTTON, and it gives me the compass cursor and slides to where ever i move my mouse from the compass. these are options i would like to see chrome incorporate

 

Works wonderfully for me. Runs a bit more smoothly than Firefox, and doesn't have ANY of the clutter of a normal browser. I like not having a search bar like all the other browsers come with, and I love google products (come out with the PHONE already!!!!!)

 

Like in IE7, it would be nice that when you click the webpage with your mouse roll,the little circle with up and down arrows would appear on the screen, if you know what I mean.

Little things only...Chrome is an excellent browser, keep going :P

 

Browser looks great. Faster than Firefox and IE.
Just had an issue with the my-tmobile page which is not showing the pull down menus when you roll the mouse over the headers.

Great job over all!

 

No option to disable browsing history. I don't like it when people are able to see links I've clicked on or sites I've visited.

 

I could not browse some of the popular websites like rediff.com,searchdomino,especially the searchdomino website i saw blank screen when i entered username/password

 

Google Chrome, you have some work to do. Thrilled to get rid of IE and switch over at work and home. But Chrome is useless to me as it has major problems interacting with US Federal Courts electronic document filing systems.

I'll make it real simple, if i cannot accomplish necessary filings with Federal Courts with Chrome, then it is utterly useless to me. If your web browser does not work on uscourts.gov for electronic filings, I might as well delete it. This is a MAJOR glitch. There are tens of thousands of attorneys nationwide filing various things electronically through ECT at uscourts.gov. You must fix this and fix it quickly.

Frankly, i expect more from google.

 

I just downloaded Chrome and I like the minimalist layout. I haven't had much of a chance to try it out yet but I have a suggestion. I typically use a browser that has a feature called 'Online storage' where all of your bookmarks and auto-fills are stored online which is extremely helpful as I frequently change computers. This feature saves a ton of time and headaches setting up bookmarks and particularly login auto-fills for all of my sites I have to sign in to. When I go to a different computer all i have to do is sign in once to the online storage system and everything else is right there.

 

Closing browser cancels download without any prompt. Then cencelled download can not be resumed.

 

The look of the browser is great but Some features are hard for em to find our i havn't even found at all! It could also be usefull if I could change the auto spell check to English instead of my own.

There are many things left to improve, and many options left to add cause now The browser is mostly in crontrol, not the user.


 

metalink.oracle.com apart from many other websites isn't working with chrome. I use it heavily at work... plz fix it asap.

 

I installed chrome and when I opened up my gmail, all my starred emails (ALL MY BILLS!) were gone. WTF? I checked all mail, trash, spam, etc. Just the starred emails in my inbox are gone. Why me????????

 

Quite nice, still under beta so understand it's not so "perfect" but quite a couple of things to be done.

Firstly, the most frequently visited websites, can there be an option whereby users are to personalize it according to own preferences.

Secondly, there are some options by firefox perhaps chrome can reference to, such as enabling certain options or even make that advanced options whereby some users may leave it as default. But for users like me, i prefer to personalise the settings.

Thirdly, perhaps some features can be made more user-friendly such as bookmarking the web pages.

Lastly, the search/find function [ctrl + f] is not "fully" enabled cause i once used it to search for some coding but it couldn't work. for example in blogger, i tried to zoom in to certain parts of the blog skin by using the function but didn't work.

Initially i made Chrome my default browser but i changed back to firefox, hope that one day i would change to Chrome again. =D

Anyway, NICE work google! I like the layout! and the minimalist outlook. I hope after suggesting the changes and after google made the adjustments, chrome can still look as simple and nice like this.

 

I can scroll down the pages but not up. FYI I'm using the touch pad of my laptop.

 

One thing I noticed that I thought was pretty cool, pertains to the scroll bar. Initially, I thought that this little 'glitch', as I realized shortly after, was part of the program. I thought it would be cool to implement as a customizable option.
The scrollbar was reacting to my mouse movement without having to click on the bar itself. As soon as I moused over the scroll bar it moved according to my mouse's location. I thought it was pretty nifty until I clicked on something else, and it no longer responded to simply mousing over, and realized that it had been a fluke.
I would like to see it as an option in the future. Just something cool I thought I'd comment on =)

 

Oh, and to all those who are reacting with hostility, I would recommend
One, reading the comic-style explanation sheet on Google Chrome, as it explains some very advanced ideas around the concept of Chrome,
Two, remember that it's a BETA; use your criticism constructively. Sharp remarks and hostile criticism help no one, and
Third, 'Let him who is without fault first cast a rebuke'. That's obviously paraphrased and altered, but the idea is that the team at Google is very dedicated to creating something that will better the overall use of the internet and the way that it is explored, navigated or otherwise viewed.

VERY nice job Google, I love the program. I look forward to the final product which, as many other Google products, will improve greatly over a short period of time. Very innovative and nice take on the whole 'back to the drawing board' idea. Good center around 'today's internet'.

Keep up the good work!

 

Mostly OK with it, but it failed to recognize Adobe Flash Player 9.0 already on my computer. The Adobe site didn't recognize Chrome and wouldn't download any version - tho it mentioned that the most my system was ready for was 7.0 - surprising since I have a completely updated version of XP. So it was Chrome it didn't recognize. Finally got Chrome to download Flash Player which when first used crashed the system.

 

Google Chrome is incompatible with Powerword 5.5

 

Is it just me - Chrome won't scroll up (it scrolls down quite OK). I'm using Vista Home Premium on a laptop. Back to the scrollbar and the arrow key...
Otherwise it looks great and renders markup correctly (unlike Explorer).

 

Starts up much faster than Firefox or IE

can't wait for the final release

 

Overall, very impressed with the minimalist design. Maximize your minimalism!

My complaint is that I added my favorite pages to the bookmarks bar. I keep clicking on the bookmarks and not seeing the tabs. I want to click the tabs, but somehow I am psychologically tricked and go for the bookmarks. Maybe the tabs should be highlighted more?

 

Overall seems good, I like the uncluttered look. one thing, it might seem picky to most people but I'm left handed and the bookmark button being stuck on the right hand side is a pain ... need to be able to move these things around.

 

looks great ... but how about some cool graphics ?

 

I never thought about the "screening" or "filtering" of websites...I supposed any browser could "technically" do that...but till now the "browser" companies haven't displayed the aggressive "profit" driven efforts like Google has, good point...I'm concerned now...about all of this...this is creepy...hmmmm

 

just thinking about AT&T and the like that had to be broken apart because they started to dominate too much of one "technology"....if you really sit back and think about it...if google becomes our "browser" of choice now, we could be in for a whole new Internet...good or bad...not sure...I guess we'll have to trust the company we've all so come to love...do it right google, cheers!

 

the 'back' and 'forward' side buttons on my mouse do not work for Chrome. Al

 

+tab+ is slow and it chooses the autocomplete url sometimes.

Please change it to +space+ (just like maxthon browser) it works great cox everyone hit the spacebar faster than tab.

 

Terrible design for navigating through bookmarks. What idiot came up with this design? Back to the drawing board fellas. I'll be sticking with Foxfire and Explorer.

 

Holy cow...all of you you realize that this is a beta version right?? yea you're very cool, you got Chrome right after it came out, good job you tech guru. now relax, beta means test...try and provide some constructive remarks not "frankly i expected better"

take me for example i have tried two laptops , both HPs, one three years old and one brand new, neither will scroll up using the touchpad scroll in chrome

 

I could not see icons on the site of HDFC bank netbanking using chrome but with other browser there was no issue.

Its gr8 effort, best luck to u all

 

Beautiful, simple browser, fast surfing internet although it is a beta version, a lot of function haven't added it up like the bookmark manager.I hope all software include Google accelerator, picasa, youtube and so on can be combine in Chrome. It's good start and is a good browser

 

forgot the scroll up using mouse wheel feature

 

I like the BOX for everything it satisfies my needs.

 

Google chrome is too complex compared with firefox.Firefox is simple for use .Most of the options in Google chrome is not userfriendly

 

I can't open html-files -- prefer drag and drop. (Or did I overlook something?)

 

Seems to be a bug in handling multi-screens. My banking recipients run to many screens, and on attempting to pay a certain recipient on screen 2, Chrome picked up the corresponding recipient from screen 1. Fortunately I picked it up before submitting the payment

 

I don't have chrome yet, had such bad experience with Firefox 3.1, that am leery of ANY new browsers now.

What I want to know is, why the HELL are you directing so many people to my blog now???? 2000+ hits today, on a blog that gets and average of 700 to 800 daily hits! And over 3/4 of them are being brought to me by GOOGLE IMAGES!

Will you STOP pushing the images on my webpage? You are screwing up my blog!!! I CAN'T be the only flipping person on the planet who has images on Google, can I? Christ, I think if this is what happens with the launch of Chrome, I'm going to STAY AWAY from it!

And, I resent that they ONLY way I can contact Google is via long distance--which for some of us on a low income budget sunshine, is TOO EXPENSIVE, And in this day and age, the fact that people have to MAIL or call long distance with their questions and concerns, make you either a bunch of cheap, stupid bastards, or you are less than honest, and are AVOIDING having anyone question you.

I think maybe I foresee a LOT of lawsuits and legal action in your future, unless you decide to become HONEST and make yourself more available for questions and concerns.

I'm gonna' be cheeky and guess you lot are are bunch of conservatives, right? Liberals aren't scared of questions.

 

first impressions

when you close the only open tab it closes the browser, I really wanted to close (clear) the tab not close the browser

the most visited links are ok but the first two links on mine are duplicates - why show duplicates

I miss "add a bookmark"

Most visited does not appear to be customisable, I would like to move the links, remove some links, add other links, hide or change the graphic ( some might be just a bit too graphic ) - bit more like a folder or igoogle

seems fast

ie with igoogle is


 

i've been using google chrome for almost 2 days now, there's a major problem in it.
once u open more than 1 tab in the same window and switch between them, there is a tweak over there.
pages those are loading while u switch tabs don't show the real page which is loading, instead it shows the previously loaded page.
and then it hangs.

 

I reckon there are few defects with Google Chrome.Browser doesn't support some of the functionalities.For example when I browse the pics in Facebook and click Next,it doesn't go to the next one instead displays the same one again.Not sure if I need to install some add-ons to support this functionality

 

Chrome is a simple and clean browser. I do like many of its features. It is still having problems loading some web pages correctly. For me so far these have been MSNBC, FOXNEWS, and AOL Web mail.

 

I'm a hardened IE user, tried Firefox didn't get on with it, only tried Opera once and quite liked it. Spent most of the time yesterday and today trying Chrome - quite like it! Speed is excellent compared with my IE installation but...

I want my bookmarks viewable all the time, for me the bookmarks are at the wrong side, every time I want them I seem to have to move the mouse from the opposite side of the page! Can't it be an option to show/not show and can't the location of the button be user defined.

Like the mix of the search engine and URL on the same bar, but would also like to the option to separate them. Not sure I trust you Google folks any more than I do Microsoft!

I have found problems (reported them) accessing some of my regularly visited sites and I'd like to wait a while before I trust it sufficiently to use it for accessing bank details and the likes.

For now I'll continue to play with Chrome, but I'll be sticking with IE for now despite it's, at times, dreadfully slow response times.

 

Why...why can't I click the scroll wheel to scroll by moving the mouse up and down? :( Seems like an odd thing not to include.

Otherwise Chrome is pretty nice. It feels like I have much more screen room, and I like the default new tab page.

 

The only reason for many to even look at this is for the potential of it suffering from none, or certainly less crashes and freezeups when using multi tabs. This I think is the major attraction. However it doesnt seem to actually work! Useless so far in many respects. How it could possibly compete with firefox, particularly when thier new v8 anti freezing element is in place is beyond me. Serious privacy issues once again also.

 

First impression is nice.
Some things I miss:
- jump to just opened tab
- different colour for pages already visited in search result overview

 

I like it - one comment.

Make the navigation buttons bigger - like in Firefox 3.0

 

many things wrong with ( i know its a beta).
1- cant do a find in the content of the page
2- cant export the bookmarks back to IE, you can only import book marks
3- I think that they keep your history regardless of you wanting to or not (even if you chose to remove history in options and settings). that's just the way google works.
4-some sites don't work with. (my company uses domino web access portal which works fine with IE)

I for one am removing it. I don't see why I should replace my trustee IE7 and frankly I dont know what google will be doing with the info on people's web traffic

 

I really like it, i just have 2 major problems. the first is there is no home button to return to the homepage. the second and most important is that you can go to options and view all saved passwords very easily. this is bad if someone else is using this computer, it will show the username, the website and the password. this should be password protected in itself.

 

I use my gmail and I normally type emails and a couple on languages other than English and the feature I like about Firefox is the fact I can download a a dictionary and correct my emails on those languages something it seems Chrome can't do. It would be great if they added that.

 

Google Chrome has a Ubuntu look and feel.

I love the minimilistic look and feel.

I think this woll prove to be a great success. I'd like it on my mobile too!

 

Nice browser! Two requested additions, link to Roboform and enable center mouse wheel smooth scrolling

 

This is faster than firefox and IE. This browser is better because it reduces clutter, removes buttons and bars that are rarely used. The one glitch is that when I use my scroll wheel it only works half of the time, and only on certain pages... Please fix that.

 

can only scroll down
scrolling up doesnt support
:)

 

I find it very fast to load most pages.
It has minor bugs that I believe you will be able to resolve in the near future. There are some java scripts that will not work :(

 

Can't export bookmarks for backup or transfer purposes - I deleted my originals from Firefox - Now I'm stuck

 

To the extent possible, please allow Emacs key bindings for editing and navigation. Thanks.

 

Hi,
Chrome doesn't seem to work well with the Canvas element and the getContext("2d").createLinearGradient() with colorStops having an alpha value ranging from 0.0-1.0. A good example of this in use is Reflection.js
(http://cow.neondragon.net/stuff/reflection/).

Relection.js works with Safari3.1.1 which also uses Webkit.

I would like to be able to have all tabs at the bottom of the screen, like on the old Netscape Navigator. I had to put an add-on in FF to do that, so it would be great if Chrome had the option already in.

 

I don't like the fact that I can't customise the new tab screen. The list of recent bookmarks is always there for all to see, so there's no privacy.

I can't watch Youtube videos because Flash player isn't configured to work with Google Chrome.

Some Facebook applications don't work the same on both Microsoft Explorer and Google Chrome. So some of my Facebook applications which used to work in Explorer become non-functional in Chrome.

The best thing I like about Chrome is its relative stability and increased download speed compared to Explorer. However its minimalistic (read: non-intuitive) format and limited customisability are a serious downer.

 

Google chrome is wonderful, much faster than i expected, and i must say, great job with that incognito window ;)

The only problem I've had is making it my default browser. i have pushed the "make google chrome my default browser" countless times and it still says it is not my default browser. Whenever i click on links, they open in Iinternet Explorer

 

Google Chrome is cool, but it does not work with facebook... The links don't work, but other than that it is an awesome, simple browser (from which Google can store even more information about you till 2038!)

 

I felt so happy to see the new product of Google ie; google chrome but, it failed in streaming videos. I felt, by comparing chrome with firefox there is much difference in online video streaming like youtube . chrome is delaying the video stream. I suggest you to use some latest firefox tools in chrome to make better in experience.

 

When I have multiple tabs open if i close the main window I would like it if chrome asked me if I wanted to close all my tabs like firefox and explorer both do. Both give you the option of turning that feature off but I'd really like to turn it on in chrome.

 

I tried Chrome for a couple of days and was very impressed. However, as one cannot (yet) sort imported favourites I have reluctantly reverted to using IE7 which is so much slower. I look forward to using the non-Beta version in the not too distant future.

 

Is has been a nice experience for me to use chrome so far except for a few limitation I could not help myself from telling. Whenever I'm watching or listening streaming video or audio it takes a hell of a lot of time in chrome. Sometimes it doesn't play it at all. Apart from that one browser should have the facility to stop a web page from being downloaded whenever necessary. It is a useful facility for connection speed around 2 Mbps. I am more than sure you'll take care of this problem or provide us with even better solution. Thanks.

 

I love chrome...there r bugs, but its great start. I had trouble with flash content, facebook, and why is there 3 diferent processes in task manager...its too memory demanding... beside that it works like charm

 

Chrome locks up constantly and has actually had trouble with lots of shock and other video....perhaps released too early VERY DISAPPOINTING....the worst Google product since the crappy Google Desktop that grinds your PC to stone age speed !

 

I have used almost all web browsers but I found Google Chrome more faster . Although it has a huge problem when I open many tabs it is stuck there for a sec. or more than that , it is not a huge time but when you are working you get irritated by it . It doesn't have free options like Firefox . It is slow when you open videos on many tabs . It doesn't have themes , online video download option / plug-in like Firefox .

 

A sign out of gmail account on Chrome retains the password in the 'Password' field in the Login page of Gmail. If a user clicks on 'sign in' again, he is directed to his email again.This is a security risk.
The same does not occur on IE. A Sign Out returns the user to the Login page of Gmail with blank User Name and Password fields

 

Chrome crashes when trying to view pdf on SR9 on Ruger Firearms website.
Chrome crashes when trying to view utube video on Dvorak Blog website.
It's back to Firefox for me, gang.

 

Google Chrome is fast! However, I miss the auto-fill feature.

Unfortunately, when posting a comment to some BBs, the comment window's width is very narrow and the 'published' result has the same width! i.e., Chrome appears to put a CR/LF at the end of each line, where it would be better to wrap to the text of the web page's window, once posted.

 

Chrome is freaking AWESOME.

When are you guys gonna create an FTP plug-in? I'd use it all the time if Chrome had one.

 

I like Google Chrome a lot. I would like to see a fullscreen option (F11) like Firefox and IE have.

 

Google Chrome works much faster than Firefox or Internet Explorer. It also has a much sleeker look. But, it is not compatible with Windows Live email.

 

I'm blessed, Chrome is absolutely my chose.

 

I think people who are saying "Well I'm not using this until this and this happens" or "Well it's missing this feature so I'll stick with Firefox" are missing the point of a BETA release. This is not their final release of the product, and it sounds like an unintentional information slip that motivated them to release when they did. A beta release is there for them to receive feedback from users so that they can make it the best possible. People saying "I'm not using it until it does what I want it to" are defeating the purpose and hindering Google in getting it to that stage in the first place.

 

In response to someone who said it's too demanding because it opens multiple processes: That is an intended feature that works quite well in fact. The point is that if one tab crashes, the entire process doesn't crash, just that tab and you are still good to go. All the processes are obviously run by a main head, but each tab runs it's own process. This also improves the page load speed on each tab. I like it a lot, although, I have yet to have Chrome crash on me so I have not even felt the effects of this yet. (Ironic eh? Not able to test the crash protection due to a fairly stable environment.)

 

Get rid of the "Recent Bookmarks" panel.
If I want to know what my recent bookmarks are, I look at the bottom of the list. It's an assault on my privacy.

 

I hope to see better integration of gmail and eliminate outlook/thunderbird popups when i click on a mailto:. It would also enable my google chat. An RSS feed reader as nice as chrome would be nice too. A pr0n...er Privacy mode like the new beta of ie8 would be cool too. Fix the flash video choppiness and it'll be tops.

 

The web sites don't highhlight so when you go back a page you can't tell which sites you've visited. On many sites you can't scroll down to the bottom of the page. Why did the browser think that the words 'musical notation indicating fingering rather than pitch as used with string instruments was in some way sexual.No other browser made that stupid mistake.

 

1. I can't get rid of the "other bookmarks" folder which makes some of my bookmarks on the bar invisible due to its length.

2. Scrolling the page by pressing the middle button doesn't work.

3. An option of searching just by typing words without the need of pressing the ctrl+f combination (as in FX) would be nice.

4. You cannot switch the spelling check off and I don't see any easy way of downloading other dictionaries.

5. Managing of bookmarks is a mess. If I want to place all the sites from one folder to the bookmarks bar, I have to drag each and every one of them separately, which is a pain in the ass.

6. The settings cover, like, so little options, e.g. where do I change the behavior of the site opened in a new tab (i.e. in focus or not)?

7. You cannot see the preferences of an image.

All that bugs and I've only been using Chrome for, like, 15 minutes. Really, not a good one this time, Google (although the Incognito options rocks ass for porn-maniacs ;p).

 

I'm sorry to see so many Google lemmings here. Wake up people, Chrome brings no advantage, it is a basic tool for college kids. Firefox or IE8 are clearly better.

 

To all naysayers - its beta version - give google a break-and time to improvise on it.
Now on some feedback:
Scrolling - with my laptop mousepad configured for scroll, down scroll works up scroll doesn't - funny problem but bugs me as I don't use mouse on laptop.
Slow - long way to go to meet firefox's speed.
Customized toolbar/addon - waiting to see the add-ons available.
Integrate with google desktop please and google bookmarks.

Looking for upgrades to Chrome.

 

facebook doesnt work. I get a message saying website moved to another location

 

I cannot use facebook and zotero on google chrome, I think these are really important point for students.

 

expected more from google.com

 

When I click on the close button of the main browser window, it closes the entire browser without prompting unlike in other tabbed browsers. More often users due to habit are likely to hit the close button for the window when they actually want to close a tab.

 

Several sites I use don't work with Chrome. for example Scrabulous, Website Tonight. Also there appears to be no way to print a selection from a web page, also the Youtube volume control doesn't work with chrome and vidios whether on WMP or quicktime bog down on Chrome while they work fine on explorer

 

When you maximize the chrome window, it removes the spacing above the tabs. I find myself wanting to till my head up or move the window as if I am missing something, but I'm not.

I recommend the spacing above the tabs returns in future updates.

 

Overall, very nice job. I really like the single address bar for URLs and searches, and the dynamic tabs are smooth. I would like to see a 'TabAway' style feature, where I can double-click the tab I'm moving to in order to close the tab I'm leaving.
Seems to run smoother than Firefox, and I like the low profile too. Nice work.

 

I just wanted to comment that I really like Chrome, except that scrolling doesn't work very well with my touch pad. Also, there isn't a way (that I can find) to import my iGoogle favorites - which seems like something that would be good to have. (I know it would make life easier for me.

 

Google Chrome BETA is nice and has some nice features. Chrome though needs to add a simple home button. Chrome also needs to fix it so that the click on the scroll wheel thing that makes it be able to move fast without the like jumpy-ness of keep scrolling... that doesn't work on Chrome. Java updates would be nice for Chrome like how firefox is good with Java coding and stuff of that sort... a few fixes, and maybe a small menu bar with file and stuff like that which isn't needed but might be nice to try. Menu bar not really needed. Google Chrome with more addons which will come later will be nice and a good competitor hopefully... I give it a 3.5/5 - 4/5 but hopefully will be come a 4.5/5 - 5/5

 

If you accidently close the entire Chrome browser (click X at the top right)
it closes all your tabs (as it should) but without any warning. Would just appreciate that warning like you have in IE. Thanks!
Apart from that I think it's great!

 

Chrome seems to have a problem downloading certain files. I twice downloaded this file http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-42045-1&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&os=228&product=441240 HP print software from the HP website and both times, when I tried to execute the file, I got an error message: "HP has detected a corrupt file (checksum error). The program has been closed without installing. Please contact HP to report this problem." When I then downloaded the same file using Firefox, it executed with no problems.

 

Hi,

I tried google chrome on the same day as i got the news of the release. being a fan of google, it was really a nice experience.
only problem factor i m finding so far is about opening some links and applications in facebook. dunno why but i keep clicking and nothing opens. things are fine when i checked using firefox and IE 7.

google guys... lovely browser! bravo. i like the tabs, quick access etc. good one. small teething issues with beta version are alwasy ok. all in all, way to go..!!! Cheers

Hi,

Was trying Chrome to check out how it is. The only difference I noticed is that My Outlook web opens in basic mode inspite of selecting premium version. One of my Email opened in IE and the other is crashing IE.

 

igoogle home page is shaking when I Open igoogle page in chrome browser. MS out look webpage is not populated properly(page looks ugly). Other regional languages (like telugu) not displayed. May be encoding problem. There should be a setting to clear history with in some days.

 

Love to the Mouse Gesture

 

One thing that I would suggest is to add a more clearly visible homepage button, or an easier method for reaching the recently viewed pages portal. Currently I'd say the Firefox start-up page and homepage is more convenient and visible than Chrome's.

Another suggestion would be to add a hotkeyed and easily accesible means for reaching gmail directly from the browser. This would add convenience and increase usage of gmail from users of Chrome.

Merging the searching and navigation bars can be problematic as you lose the address of your current page while searching, however I think the option is sound. Possibly adding an option to split them would add convenience (leave the current way as the default).

 

no control over where it is installed, this is a bad thing

 

1. I would like to have a google toolbar.
2. I would like to have the entered url's saved a the address bar, just like Firefox and IE. These url's should be removable like at Firefox, NOT like at IE.
3. I would like to have bookmarks more accessible, like at Firefox & IE.

 

i went to a site to download a file.when i click the download link, the download does not start, i tried around 5 times, atlast i copied the url in IE. there the file is downloading. the link is given below:
http://www.avs4you.com/AVS-DVD-Player.aspx

Why is it so? i want google product to be the best

 

So far so good...love it...
Faster smoother...ergonimic...
Way to go...

But still some site like Facebook will have to face errors on certain functionnality mostly the new Facebook interface...

Fix that...and you become my default browser

And please relax with your penchant to control everything...

It won't happen...

In my oppinnion, One day there will be a new law of physics that states that any living organism that wan't to handle their mites by controling aspect of the reality...will have to face it's own instinction...you can't control reality

it is reality who controls you...end of the line

and don't try anything too foolish out there...these days existance is more intelligent and acts quite faster than back in the old days.

So I don't have to keep an eye on you...
I let the universe tamper your will.
And shape it as pure common sense...

Get inspired by
Open source...

Everything should roll smooth and gold

peace

 

i agree about when you close your only remaining tabs it shouldnt close the whole entire browser. also i dont like that there isnt a stop button, theres a refresh, back, forward, bookmark..there should be a stop incase you click on a link you didnt mean to. i do enjoy its speed though and some of the features like incognito.

 

I am not able to open my hotmail account from Google Chrome. It is pointing to use IE/Mozilla/Safari. Give access to hotmail ccount also.

 

I am not able to open my hotmail account from Google Chrome. It is pointing to use IE/Mozilla/Safari. Give access to hotmail ccount also.

 

Please allow the download to be in continuation even the chrome is closed so that again when the chrome is started the download should resume form the last downloaded part but not fresh download.

 

google chrome is not download/view the pdf files. pl do something in this regard. otherwise it is good.

 

This popup blocker is a pain. How do I cancel or configure it? I cannot launch my lotus sametime chat window for work!

 

One good thing that I have noticed about Chrome is that its much stable with applications such as Adobe PDF running on it as compared to firefox.

Otherwise, I like the speed, simplicity and utility. Though I would definitely want more add-on applications. It will be interesting to see how it evolves.

Gud Luck

 

Smooth, fast, lacking in crashes oh and fully compatible with all websites including flash and java that firefox ceases up over - the only thing I miss from IE8 are the coloured tabs

 

Chrome does not work with audible.com web site as Chrome does not recognize download manager software already on the computer. IE 7.0 had no problem with the identical download.

 

I've just started using Chrome and I really like it! It's fast, easy to use, shows up history, and doesn't clutter the screen with a zillion different bars (address bar, search bar etc.). The screen looks so minimalistic, simple, user friendly and efficient! :D I just really like the minimalistic and efficient look! It doesn't have any useless extra stuff, just what's required and is placed properly! I love it!

 

On my dell laptop the finger scroll bar that moves a page scrolling up and down works going down but not back up. Also real players a problem and some sites don't work.

 

Use a Dell XPS M1330, running Windows Vista Home Premium. Scroll pad works down, but not up. Have isolated to Chrome only--scrolling functions well in other software environments.

 

Haven't read all the posts so I may be repeating what others have said, but here are my questions:

Why can't I have a Google search field on the menu bar (or some other handy area in my browser window) as I do in IE? Why is there no 'home' button on the browsers? Can I make Chrome my default brower? How?

 

I have had Google Chrome from day 1 and it has crashed 3 times when I click on a favorite. The entire window disappears....

 

Almost all the above users problems have some solution but
1 IDM is not compatible
2 download speed is almost half, i dont know why
3 if you close the explorer, downloading is cancelled

 

I really appreciate the speed and overall design. However one thing that kind of annoys me is the location of the stop button... i really want it on left side along with or toggled with refresh.

 

I have experienced many problems with streaming video--it often starts out, freezes up, and shuts down. I have also had issues with freezing when using websites with live chats; the chat will either stop altogether, or lag for about 5 minutes and spit out all messages at once.

 

just i started to trying chrome. cntl+tab is not working from the first tab to others. but from other tabs its working fine.

 

i just installed the google chrome browser the first problem i faced was with the touch pad of laptop we can scroll downwards but we can't scroll upwards .

 

HI
I have tried google chrome it works fine the only issue i noticed here is that you cant scroll the web page with mouse up once it is down.

 

Hi
Chrome as a browser did impressed for some its handy functionalities.
But some areas needs immediate attention:
1.Exporting the Chrome Bookmarks to any other browser.We can import other browsers but the thing is one starts using any browser users starts saving them in working browser.

2.Saving Password is not at all secure.
It never ask for master password or extra salt for that reason to hide. See Mozilla for password storing and retrieval system.
Currently in chrome everything is so out... OOPS

3.CAD plugins VRML/Shochwave are not supported currently
4.Integrate the Chrome Screen name with that of
iGoogle. So that every personal data is in sync with Browser and google User ID.All Save links/bookmarks sync /mails just be well integrated.

Best Regards
AMK

 

I would like to be able to open videos in the player of my choice instead of with the embedded player without having to download them first then double click them. Otherwise great browser.

 

It seems faster, but I have a few suggestions. It needs to have options to use my colors or windows defaults as does IE. I like the ability to stop an annoying advertisement playing in flash, but I would like the option to have "stopped" as the default.

I'm confused about the installation. I can install without being admin which is nice, but then the only way I found to enable the flash plugin was to set admin privileges on my user account, enable and then reset my user account privileges.

It seems to still allow popups - down in the bottom right corner; can't this be stopped?

 

OK, maybe I am a paranoid conspiracy theorist but I am surprised that no one has mentioned the minimal user control of cookies and history, i.e. I have to go in and manually erase every time. There should be a default erase setting as in FF. Also, as I understand it, Chrome will not even block 3rd party cookies initially - only secondary requests, so to speak.
As for speed; I normally use FF with cookies turned off and no history and I cannot see any great difference between them on 8mb broadband - certainly not enough to make me switch.
Anyway, it looks horrible (though, presumably skins will follow), the tab layout is a pain to get used to after FF, etc.(keep opening favourites instead of switching tabs!) and (really annoying) if I close the only tab open it shuts down completely - why?
On the plus side their is plenty of "real estate", no doubt so we can be bombarded by even more ads!

 

Why can't i open it anymore? yesterday it worked fine after installation but now i can't run it anymore. nor reïnstall. just nothing happens. why? and can i do anything about it?

 

Great, but... The same scrolling problem on Synaptic and cannot play flash on my Presario XPpro. Pity, most of it is very convenient.

 

In MSN browser, I can save in MS-Document format (a photographic style) the web pages I like so I could use them later off-line. In Chrome, I don't have that option.

 

The PDF file loading is very very very slow (compared to IE), it hangs the PC, uses the 99% of the cpu.

 

After logging to Bank of america site, the tab links on the top bar of the BOA menu does not work, at first. But click on some other link, then all the rest of the links start to work.

 

Chrome is very slow... I tried to open same page at Firefox and Chrome at the same time.. and Chrome takes few seconds extra. Fix this asap.

 

I think it is faster than my Firefox but I believe its do the all the ad-ons that I use in Firefox. Compared to a fresh install of FF I think they are neck and neck.

 

CHROME IS NOT FASTER THAN IE! YOU CANT SEND LINK OR PAGE VIA EMAIL FROM TAB. YOU CANNOT REFRESH ALL TABS AT ONCE. YOU HAVE TO DOWNLOAD QUICKTIME. NO ADVANTAGE.

 

I've been using Chrome for a week now. I understand that it is still in the development stage. So far I have to say it has won me over from being a hardcore Firefox user. Still some issues to iron out, of course... I'm also looking forward to seeing what add-ons and new features that will get released for Chrome. Keep up the good work, guys.

 

Please change icon looks too much like Visual Studio Icon, especially in quicklauch bar. I click it by accident all the time. How about something different like a chrome G or something?

 

I use voice recognition software to do almost all of my typing. I am heavily involved in web-based role-play. The unfortunate thing is that up until now there has not been a browser that would allow me to enter text into my chat room via my software. Google Chrome is being only browser that actually seems to work for me. I can put up with a few annoying quirks if it's going to make my life easier.

 

I use Logitech MX series mice and the forward/back buttons are not functional in Chrome. Since they work in both IE and FF, I must assume it has something to do with your code or a setting I am unable to find.

 

yes search including browser... nice, but passwords privacy ??? and my compant site is not working with this new one,
better include the search cum browser to firefox is the best way.
when closing the multi tabbed window, confirmation is not coming.


google, being the king, can do miracle with this baby (beta version), in the future.

 

Google ,
So far so good just finding out about its limitations.
Did you know you cannot buy things on-line with PayPal as it is unsecure and it thinks you are using SAFARI 3.0, makes you wonder that, A good browser must above all things be secure,
Kiko

 

The mouse wheel scrolls too far in Chrome, nearly half a page, while in IE a wheel increment is only about 1/10th of a page. Having half a page disappear is rather annoying.

 

DOWNLOAD MANAGER IS PATHETIC

and does not integrate well with anything
STEAL FREE DOWNLOAD MANAGER IF YOU CANT CODE

anyway, I like this MUCH, yet I will restrict it in several ways. I do not want my logged-in pages to appear in Googles index like with the toolbar.
fcuk cares about some stupid license. enforce it if you can dumbasses :D

 

Chrome sucks with flash player and quicktime player. thats annoying.. i think im gonna stick with FF 3

 

Chrome is very stable and I love it, but I need the following features (in the decreasing order of priority).

1. Session save/restore.
2. Be responsive after I restart my machine after hibernation.
3. vi style '/' to begin search.
4. Ability to run Java applets.

 

I am big fan of google and using most of its applicaions. I am currently facing only one problem with chrome -
1) When downloading the file it does not give the option to choose a specific destination folder, it always download in default folder.

 

Just great - a simple unobtrusive GUI, fast, robust (I'm having to take this on trust as it's new but good so far), open source, plus many excellent features.

I'm fairly blown away by this product so far, to be honest - I was expecting something much more 'beta' and sparsely-featured.

Thanks guys for this, and don't stop!

 

Just downloaded and trying the new Google Chrome today...

I tried downloading using the browser and I notice that the download status bar only shows on the tab where you downloaded the file. I think it would be much better if the bar will be shown on the other tab since we won't be staying on the tab where we download some file...

More power and keep it up...looking forward to a much better Google Chrome.

 

i love the new chrome browser, but one problem i notice its having has to do with myspace. some profiles created by coolchaser pimp my profile etc, are all distorted and stretched out.

but so far thats the ony thing i have noticed.

 

Hey I felt chrome has problem in opening the PDF files..

 

Hey I felt chrome has problem in opening the PDF files.. It does not response quickly.. It takes lot of time..

 

Chrome is nice and simple, so simple that I can't return to the nice opening page with the most used sites, having said that, I would like to be able to control what goes onto that page, before and after Chrome made the decision what goes there.

 

I dont mind the agreement, I dont mind many irrelevant details that surely I cant see... but there is one thing that ANOYIS me on this program... I ALWAYS clouse the browser when I starta a download... and thats mean Chrome cancels it.. and thats means manage to go back wherever I was dowloading.... like a docen times... anoying!!!! Please at least givme and advice when im closing!

 

Crashes everytime you download
does not support hotmail new version
rest all great

 

Chrome looks great BUT with the scroll area on the righthand side of my touchpad I can only scroll down and NOT up. In other applications no problem.

 

So I use dltk to make custom cards. I noticed a few issues with the site:
1) While editing the custom message, I had to click somewhere else in the textbox (http://www.dltk-cards.com/cc6.asp) for the changes to appear. In FF2/3 this works fine.
2)Often I have to go back and forth between the steps of the site using the browser back button in order to get the text formatting correctly. Instead of going back into cached history, chrome asks me every time if I want to "Confirm Form Resubmission" - causing me to lose my edits. Cant I go back w/o resumitting? Not all sites are designed well and chrome needs to handle these.

 

I am getting a lot of crashes with the flash plugin (youtube, webcamnow, etc). I realize that chrome is not responsible for the plugin but since it doesn't crash in other browsers as often i am wondering if something is amiss with the integration.

 

Too complicated for mr. I need larger print to see better. The tabs had large print but the body print was too small for me.

 

The setting for the mouse scroll pad is much too fast. You end up scrolling to the bottom of the page unintentionally. Theres no way to control this. Also, sometimes tabbing between tabs does not work and it gets stuck.

 

I've been playing around and love the new browser only one big problem and that's i need it to save form data of fields ive used on web pages for work... any one get this to the guys developing it that would be a great

 

what is all the disk activity. Chrome is writing tons of stuff to my disk in the background. Without knowing what this is, specifically, without being able to configure and inspect the directory, to control purging, it is highly invasive and annoying.

 

I haven't had a cheerful experience with Chrome yet, for me it was just a comparison run for a few days so far with Firefox, and so far I am sticking with the latter. Sure, there are a few things I wish Firefox had (such as the separation of one tab per process introduced by Google Chrome - although it remains a bit difficult to establish which process belongs to what tab). My biggest turn off with Google Chrome is keyboard shortcuts, I am used to using some sort of keyboard shortcut so that I am not fully dependent on the mouse (like "Alt + F + C" to close a tab for example, but also a few others) in case the mouse stops responding or if I feel I can do the operation a lot faster than using the mouse (say when I am using a laptop). So far I have not figured out what those shortcuts may be in Chrome, if they exist, I probably have to do some reading... However, I am also a big fan of the premise of "Human Computer Interaction Design" and prefer a product where I don't have to read a manual to figure out how to do things (the x and + sign next to each tab are simply genious; Firefox and the new IE have the "x", and IE has the new tab, you still have to browse over mini-tab to figure out it is for that, but using a + was much clever). Also, how can I move the favorites folder, any idea of how I can place it in a different location, I don't like it where it is at... And I don't want to spend half a day reading how to do it. Also,where did it go after I opened a website, it's hidden,how do I get it back? These are the sort of things that I would like to have visible and easily approachable without the need of a designer to tell me how I do it... If the design is sublime, I shouldn't be asking, it would be standing up on my face and I would be able to figure it out immediately.

 

while downloading a file ... if i close the browser ...chrome does not prompt about the active download

 

chrome is a hypermarket of bug and errors.

 

java based video does not seem to have zoom and volume controls available - works on firefox and IE

 

i use more than one gmail account and would like the ability to have them in separate tabs within a single browser window. as is, i have to use other browsers that allow this functionality

 

Several comments:
1. When I click on a tab after it's been opened, it takes a while (ranging between 1 ~ 5 seconds) before the page is displayed, despite the fact it is already a loaded page and no refresh is requested.

2. I use DBS, but I notice that even after installing the Java plugin, it doesn't seem to work still.

3. I like being able to scroll up and down the row of tabs using the wheel on my mouse (when my cursor is over any tab). This isn't available.

4. The download feature doesn't seem as robust as I would have expected. I've had broken downloads about 40% of the time, so much so I revert back to Firefox when I want to get something.

 

shortcut button or key to home page?
customize toolbar ?

 

Does not play streaming real player content. It attempted to have loaded but was waiting for it to play.

 

Hi, the new browser is fabulous but only one thing i dont like.. I am not able to find anywhere option for blocking browsing history - there should be an option which will allow user to block sites visited getting saved in history. This feature is useful for corporate users. please try to add it. Thanks

 

First impressions are good with a nice clean screen and browser is quick. I like the fact that if there is a problem loading one page the other tabs are not affected. I like the simple click at the top to open a new tab.

What I would like to see is support for roboform for entering passwords automatically otherwise I will need to keep using other browsers. I think the bookmarks facility is lacking. Although possible to transfer bookmarks from IE, new bookmarks are saved separately, so that if need to re-use IE they are not available. Also need facility to sort the favourites and I find it confusing that all the subfolders are automatically opened. Final comment it would be good to have one mouse move to open a link in a new tab which is the feature I have found most useful in deepnet explorer (i.e. hold left mouse key on link and move to open link in new tab).Look forward to the development of the browser.

 

Could the proxy settings be independent from windows, allow multiple proxy selection and could you add username and password to the proxy? Thanks.
Also the most visited page is a good idea but I would prefer a favorite page/check page later done in a similar fashion where I could drag and drop pages.

 

I find the browser freezes my PC fully at times. Also the tabs separation is not really true for me. When one page goes down they all go down.

 

There is no way to download plugins (like video plugin) in chrome. It just says for the missing plugin. But does not redirect to appropriate link.

 

I think Chrome should keep his own proxy settings somewhere in profile and not use IE settings.

 

I've downloaded many word documents, most that are simple attachments in emails. It would be really convenient if when you right clicked on the document in the little download bar there was an option for print and not just open. It would save time.

 

ok I try chrome but it's fast ok!. but firt you don't see the bookmark and home button you have to go in option to make them appear. will be better to have them by default.

then unlike Firefox you don't add a little toolbar when yo can have different type of search engine.
for exemple with firefox Ican type directly my key in the toolbar and select youtube for exemple. I don't need to go to youtube website then type my key word.
you can't do that with chrome.
So I'll keep firefox and remove Chrome unless it get better

 

the browser freeze pretty often especially when i watch video.

 

I wish I could view the previously visited pages when clicked to some arrow near the 'back' button. This feature is already available in IE and firefox and is not here..

 

The show passwords feature...I can understand the use of it...kinda...BUT for me it's a huge security flaw if someone else is to use my computer. If there feature is to stay, you should have to enter a strong password to view them. Also, the usernames shouldnt either be on display as clearly as that.

THIS JUST ISN'T CRICKET.

 

Ohh.... it take more CPU USAGE 90% and above.
Some times systems gets hanged.
I think some thread is running background continisouly.
If google solves this, this would be the no 1 web browser.

 

Hello

I've been using Google Chrome for a day now, and I've noticed a few things.
1. It can be awfully slow loading pages where, for an example, 250 comments on a forums page are on (250 people have commented on a thread on that forum), it took it a very long time.

2. When you press the middle mouse, I want to be able to scroll down faster.

3. You MUST get it faster than Firefox 3.0! Otherwise millions will choose Firefox over Chrome. That is what people want, even more than this very comfy UI.

 

The browser is awesome, it's my default browser, as it runs nice and fast and looks better than any browser even with a themed skin.

Only things i can find that are buggy:

1. the scroll on my laptop, it won't let me scroll up .... only down.

2. I find the saving of images it forces all images into gif's which is so frustrating i use firefox just for this.

3. i don't like the way the downloading is handled it always forces to one folder, it can't remember the last download location.

4. (lastly) the spell check tells you when a word is wrong but this is not helpful if there are no options to correct this, via the right click.

Other than that i like it doesn't run extensions , they just slow the browser down.
i love the status bar at the bottom and the search engines in the url address bar.

only things i would maybe suggest adding, is the ability to favicon (firefox extension) tabs so they are smaller for mass tab browsing or just plain neatness. The element inspector i would like to see more functional like firebug, this is a great tool for web developers.

other wise keep up the awesome work google.

 

I don't know why, but I am unable to scroll any web-pages upwards. This happened in my laptop's touch-pad corner scroller. I am able to scroll down a page but not upwards.

 

I use Windows shorcuts like Alt+A then a starting alphabet of my link in Favorites. I can't do the same here.

 

I think Chrome is interfering with my use of MSN Messenger, and also makes my computer (which is a new HP laptop) run slower than it did before.

 

didn't lived up to the expectations ...

(1)bookmarks could have been made more comfortable

(2) no support for download managers
etc etc

but still its the beta version i hope the google team would make the next version better

oh i forgot the plus point ... its fast :P

 

I am using Chrome fro last 20 days, The overall performance is near to satisfaction. Initial starting of chrome is really fast.

However as number of tabs increases, the PC resource utilization decreases dramatically, and the overall PC performance goes down (even though PC is Duel core processor and 1 gig of ram).
Similarly chrome is failing to open my web account user page(ISP user page)with shoing sm error.
On using Orkut ctrl + G (for regional language)displays google find bar insted of changing the writing language in the orkut.

Bt still its the beta version i hope the google team would be workin on it

 

I was trying to download a zip file from oracle site using chrome and the download did not happen. No progress bar, no error reported.
I am using a Toshiba laptop (vista sp1) which has the scroll feature as part of its synaptics pointing device, though I am able to use it to scroll down a web page was not able to scroll up, the same feature is working in other browsers.

 

When you try to save something with the same filename as an existing file, it does not ask you whether you would like to replace the file or not. It automatically saves it to "filename(1)". This is annoying cos you may end up with multiple files of the same name by accident.

 

the browser is amazing, but there is a problem which i faced..... whenever i try to download something using chrome i get very bad download speed, but when i use explorer of mozzila i get good speed... apart from this i cannot use my download manager.....
well for download i am still using explorer....
and yeah there is no option comes when you click on download ( I mean to save or to open), it just downloads

 

I am the user of google chrome since it has been launched.Two sites named www.sakshi.com and www.eenadu.net are not displaying the pages correctly in chrome,but there are displaying in IE.can u tell me the reason why it happening?waiting for ur reply...

 

dude, im totally digging this new browser.
its amazing and does not slow down yer computer
like they say, its super not cramped and its amazing.

 

I have noticed a drawback associated with the Chrome. The problem is that after closing the browser, the Chrome process is not killed automatically and it continues to feed up memory resources. one can easily check this after closing the browser and then looking up in the task manager and one needs to kill the process manually to free up the memory usage. Not only one but several instances of chrome run in the task manager. The Google Team needs to check it out. Good Luck.

 

letter ugly house apple german english google

 

Chrome does not restore pages after system crash or power failure...

 

I LOVE Chrome - it has become my default browser. However, MS just made changes to Hotmail which make it impossible to REPLY to any messages with Chrome. If this could be fixed ASAP it would be MUCH appreciated!

 

"Viewed websites" is the worst feature. Other things are quite good. Privacy = zero.

 

the download gets cancelled when the browser is closed.feels terrible when most of the download is done.

 

Hello. Personally I love google and their products.
Google chrome is fast, easy on RAM and also I find it quite sexy (although it's quite minimalistic).
There are two major problems though, which force me to use FF again, although I wish I could use chrome instead.
Those are:
1 Flash seems to freeze chrome often, although it always popups the message "script is not working" and then runs okay, it is very very annoying.
2. Lots of problems with new facebook. Like editing your wall with the popup menus, they just do nothing in chrome.

I guess I'd find more if I was using chrome longer, but these are just two I found in a very short period of time. Hopefully they'll get fixed and then I'll be happy to use this browser.

 

Classic example of people that don't read.

 

Just want to be able to middle mouse click and drag to scroll. I use a wacom pen and that's the way I scroll pages. Fix that and I'm jumping on the wagon.

 

Hey google,

I totally love the new browser, even though its still on beta its really great!
the only thing i have noticed is the problems with showing videos on chrome. i have experienced on youtube that the video makes the browser freeze. then it says that something weont wrong and if i want to let it continue.

anyway, like i mentioned, chrome is still on beta but i can already say that i won't need the ms browser :-P he he GREAT JOB :-D

 

I am finding that reading PDFs is extremely slow, to the extent that I will have to stop using Chrome until this is fixed.

 

I was a big fan of Chrome. I'm using it at this moment, but now I I'm starting to see the bugs. Chrome sucks with flash player. I'm going back to FF3.

 

Chrome is great so far (for my 10 minutes), besides any technical issues with Flash etc.

The feature set needs to be expanded with these essentials:
1. Allow full Google Toolbar functionality
2. Option to warn when closing multiple tabs
3. Don't halt downloads on closing
4. Control of popups (i.e. Google Toolbar style)

After my first 10 minutes, my impression of the brilliance of Chrome:
1. Fast
2. Bookmarks button is dual purpose: it drags as a URL to create a tab in another window
3. Renders nicely
4. Option to ask for downloads is nice for IE users
5. Inbuilt dictionary

What I'm wondering:
1. I use a lot of web forms and hate it when my text is deleted by unexpected reboot or accidental Back button press. Will Chrome solve that problem by allowing my un-submitted form data to be recovered?

2. Will Chrome use less Windows XP resources, so 30 or so web pages don't cause Windows to stop creating new windows? (As is the problem with IE, even with 2GB RAM)

3. Does Chrome support ActiveX controls as well as IE does? (A reason why I still use IE quite often)

4. Will Chrome have such a good developer culture as FF, with heaps of third party Add-ons?

 

scrolling ISSUE is a pain ...... torture
FTP sites dont function properly on google chrome while are perfect on Mozilla or IE
Download speed not as good as mozilla
browsing speed good
clear these errors and this might be it!!...till then Mozilla Rocks!!

 

I've used Chrome for a day now. Besides what I listed in my previous post, the main issue I've found is with downloading files. For large files, Chrome is very challenged.

I downloaded 6 files from a site, and this site won't allow more than 2 downloads at a time. Chrome couldn't cope with this. IE coped very well.

After I got all the downloads started in Chrome, I went to IE and did all the downloads (taking 2 minutes total). Returned to chrome and I had 3 good files and 3 partially downloaded files. Waited 10 minutes and gave up. I have partial downloads and only the subtle spinning icon showed they're not complete. The IE approach of popping up a save as dialog seems retarded at first, but actually works really well because it involves the user in what is going on. I know when I have the completed files. I notice if it has picked up a slow connection and try again.

In IE I can also decide where the file goes at the point when I download it. FF and Chrome want me to manage this later. I'm not downloading music and videos. I'm doing serious work stuff and I have specific differing needs for each file.

 

Regarding browser-detection; Chrome’s UA string is pretty ridiculous, and might be difficult to correctly parse with a Regex. For example:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US) AppleWebKit/525.13 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/0.2.149.30 Safari/525.13

(Is the browser Konqueror, Safari, or Chrome? Is the engine Webkit, KHTML, or Gecko? Yikes!)

 

The overall performance is better then any other browser, but i expect that i can see loading progress of a web page.
also editing preferences is bit confusing.

 

I'm sure this has been mentioned, but why aren't isn't there "properties" on the right click? It seems like such a fundamental necessity for any browser. Sometimes, I like to check out the properties of an image and it's a hassle saving it and reopening it on my desktop with the right click function to check its properties.

 

Chrome starts downloading files without informing users of the size of the estimated download. And the only way to stop the download seems to be closing the tab. I checked the options tab to see if there is any option to turn off this feature but couldn't find any

 

In the downloads page - needs a quick way to clear all of downloads list. and a shortcut like, ctrl shift delete, in firefox, woudl be nice for fast clear history etc.

 

I was trying to access my bank account on HDFC bank. I was not able to view some tabs...what could be the problem??

 

Now I've used Chrome for a week. I've decided to suspend using Chrome until it becomes a fully featured browser. I closed a window with multiple tabs, but it didn't warn me. I just knew this would bite me. I lost pages I had no intention of closing and that is something I can't risk again.

I do look forward to this browser being completed, since this bare-bones version looks very promising.

 

Some applications are not working properly. May be the screen size or something. For Example in HDFC net banking we could not see all the menus.

 

crap............. when you open reliancemoney all tabs on the trading console do not open.....
did'nt expected that from google.....

 

Show password feature is not at all required & is not safe for if someone uses our computer for a while our password may be acquired by him.
so PLEASE remove this feature in future versions.
I am currently not using chrome due to this.

 

Its totally copied from Mozilla. In this product there was no innovation and also product was launched late. I did installed and then uninstalled from laptop. Also just a few performance optimization techniques placed doesn't account for it to be kept. Mozilla still rocks for innovation.

 

hi
i can't able to find google search engine on chrome..that means i didn't found any search engine bar which will be in mozilla fire fox..
can please tell me the solution

 

My Symantec Client firewall on Win Xp gives warning that allowing Google chrome to connect to the internet is a "high risk".So,i have uninstalled it.Can u give me a valid explanation as to why it gives such a warning and recommends me to block the apllication permanently?

 

Its alway fatal error when im watching youtube :(

 

The bookmark import needs an option to locate and import favourites from folders used by browsers not included in your default list.

 

some users would like their privacy protected, or embarrassment saved, by turning off some features. I'd like my embarrassment saved by being able to clear specified domains from history records.

 

I love the browser. It's fast and I love how space-conscious the browser is (removing the menu bar and putting the menus into an icon near the right of the address bar). I love how I can type part of a website and it pulls up multiple options and I can just select the right one (rather than having to visit before this becomes an option like in other browsers).
I also love how fast the browser is and how the tabs can be dragged into separate windows if wanted.

I do not like how whenever I try to view a video on YouTube it gives me "this content is no longer available" when I can view the same page in any other browser and it works fine. Still some quirks to be worked out, for sure, but that's why it's a BETA version. Definitely need to fix up the support for Google Video & YouTube videos (strangely enough, MySpace videos work just fine).

 

Google chrome hangs for few seconds

 

Chrome sucks big time. Can't watch a video on youtube without it freezing a 100 times. No addons available either. FF3 is the best...

 

Press the X on title bar should ask for confirmation. I have accidently closed chrome several times

 

Hi
Check boxes and radio buttons do not show. You have to do guesswork to mark them. This issue is probably a glitch in javascript compatibility.
Also when you maximise the window, the add tab button disappears.
Waiting for a fix... ;)

 

I have a problem with scrolling up the page. I can scroll down but not up and on internet explorer and fire fox i can.

 

hi.
google chrome is amazing & fast.but it lacks in some points.like there is
-no option to save the bookmark.
-it doesn't scroll up side.
-if u not use any page for a long time it gets hang or pages get kiiled.
-to tool bar to view the normal option like copy / paste/save page/ view/.for that u alway have to click on the right side.for new person it is difficult to find.

i know these problem will be solved.
but these r the basic need for a browser.

 

When I open a page in Incognito Window, it should not show saved username and password. I understand that no one would know which web page I browse if I use the incognito window, however, there is a good chance that someone using my PC ends up on the same supposedly secret webpage and discovers that I use it too. Quite possible for pornographic pages.

 

I just found out that Google Chrome and Firefox share the same problem:

After some time using the browser, youtube videos (and any kind of embeded video) stop working.

First the audio stops, then the video stops after a few seconds.

Sometimes you just let several videos loading, then you come back and you cant watch em.

Ate the moment, MS Explorer didnt show this problema.

 

Encoding for the Thai language does not work properly. I can read Thai email on yahoo mail okay but when I hit reply, Thai letters of the previous email becomes unreadable. This does not happen when I use IE for the same fashion.

 

Overall (when it works) I like the look and feel of it, bookmarks, home page etc. Its also pretty fast at loading some sites but pages with video or flash run slow or crash more often than not. Is there an xtra add-on I need??

google support arnt offering support lol

 

Can you tell me is there a way to disable the save as option of google chrome. Like we do in IE7.
I really need to pull this off as its an urgent requirement for my site.
Please get back to me.

 

i can scroll down using my laptop touch pad side scroll. But i can't scroll up using it.

 

Tab browser is really good...but it is very problematic when you opened 5-6 tabs and by mistake clicked on the close (x) button and all the tabs get closed... I think when more that one tab is opened, before exit it should ask for..like "Are you sure...." just like Mozilla Firefox.. then there is no doubt chrome is the best browser.

 

The Flash plug-in seems to crash the most often of all the plug-ins and often causes all of Chrome to crash. While the option to restore lost tabs is amazing, I'd prefer it if the browser didn't crash any time I have more than 4 tabs with Flash features.

Otherwise a lot of good stuff. I prefer Chrome over Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari.

 

Hard drive will randomly just run and run. I have to close chrome to stop it. I am concerned at the effect this might have on my hard drive.

 

SCROLLING!!!!

WHAT THE HELL MAN?

PLEHEHESE...FIX IT :(

 

Over all I like chrome. there are few thing I'd like to see fixed. Need to add "Quick Fill" like on the Goggle tool bar. I need to be able to selectively remove history item especially "most visited" thumbnail item. I don't want other people to see every where I've been. Also my hard drive runs excessively when google is running, what’s up with that?

 

I love Chrome so far, but I'd love to see the following:
A print button on the toolbar
Autofill option
Add-on capabilities, such as a weather toolbar - I miss that from Firefox!

 

Its O.K. It really lacks in a few areas... i would love to see add-ons like fire fox has like ad block, and it has it, but its a complicated process to put ad-block on. Needs some work, but has the potential to be really good. The adjustment to trying to use this is not going so good. I wish I knew enough to add to it.

 

Great browser.
I would like to see a panning hand version of the cursor like IE7 has and like Adobe Acrobat.
Especially useful on a pen enabled laptop!

 

it does not open windows live mail inbox....and says....plz upgrade ur browser

 

still strongly miss the "sort favourites" and "manage favourites" options.

 

chrome does not supports realplayer video download plugin.
thats the biggest problem in it for me
plzz fix it

 

WATIN for Google chrome would be great - currently only works with IE.

 

Ok,
1. I think i have found a flaw when downloading .exe files, sometimes the save button does not display correctly.
2. on the start page, can i put my favorites there instead? -in the same format of course!!!!
3.what on earth is this browser blocking certian websites for? i stubled upon a new website and the browser wouldnt let me open it!
4. there is a problem with the flash plugin, it does not "get plugin"!
5. Also if i download something and move to another tab, i can't see the downloads progress at all (unles i go back to the original tab.
6. can we turn off the adverts???? im sick of the hyper text being used for advertising!!!

 

When I close the chrome, with 2 or more tabs open It just closes all the tabs and don't issue any warning before it closes, as firefox does.

 

Could you make the cross button to close tabs a little bigger? And an ability to turn off the flash when you go over it? Thx

 

Google Chrome developers should add support for modal dialog windows

 

I am quite impressed with all the features that Chrome comes packed with. Especially merging the Google Search with the address bar is really cool. Works well for me. However, the one inconvenience that I find while working on laptop (touchpad) is that the "cross" button is quite far away (to the right of address bar) from the "refresh" button. It will be good if you can put the two buttons besides each other.
Thanks

 

Hey, I'm new to this Google Chrome thing, nice job, kind of weird but I'm willing to keep it, and see how it goes.

In You Tube I noticed that, the Flash player hides the auto complete combo boxes (while typing there's a drop down menu that hides behind the player).

Keep up the good work,

Thanks

 

The browser is good..
i am experiencing problems with the Windows Hotmail. in Hotmail, when i hv to write a mail, i cannot do it because the text area is disabled...
tough i m not sure this is a problem with hotmail or Chrome, Google Chrome Rocks!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I'm having the same problem as the previous poster. Chorme won't function with Windows Hotmail, because the text area is disabled. Sometimes YouTube videos don't work, but otherwise Google Chrome rocks!

 

1. The download bar on the bottom is great but needs to show progress... maybe integrate it into the background so it fills up, left to right, while it downloads.
2. The password remembering tool MUST have a master password to be secure. It's a huge liability otherwise.

 

Chrome can't download large files. Files above 2G fail with a "File too large" error. This means I can't download those handy DVD ISOs of CentOS I wanted without torrenting them (a process I abhor). Nor can I grab many of the DVD images for appliance installs we use on a regular basis using Chrome.

 

I just downloaded Chrome, and I am very upset. My page is entirely different & all my page references are gone, everything is so different. I can't download in "You Tube" anymore either. I have lost my google taskbar which I liked. I have no search. It stinks, and I see no advantages. I am sick.

 

Chrome desperately needs a "send page" button

 

I can't write text message on composing email in Hotmail.

Actually Google Chrome is not supported browser for hotmail.

 

No explorer integration / ftp support (admittedly, this is in Windows 7, haven't tried ftp on XP pro or Vista Bus)

 

The Back function on the browser sucks. If I'm in myspace, facebook, or really any site, the back button never works right to take me back. Mozilla seems to function just fine. I like the performance of Chrome, it's very fast, but it seems to lack the functional integrity and completeness that mozilla has.

 

This could be mouse related, but it only happens in chrome. When highlighting text and pulling downward the browser scrolls extremely slow, but highlighting a block of text from bottom to top performs fine.. not sure what the difference could be, but again, only happens in chrome.

 

I have dual monitors and use a program called UltraMon, some of it's features like making a window jump from screen to screen or expanding it over the two monitors don't work on Google Chrome.
Also on some website with videos such as escapistmagazine.com the video's don't go full screen when I push the full screen button

 

I miss mouse gestures (like in opera) and recycle bin for closed pages (like in opera either) Also other skins could be good. I don't like when it closes completely if to close last tab. Logically it should show homepage and close conpletely when you hit browser window (top right)

 

Every time I turn on proxy setting, it prompts me for the login/password for each tab that I left it open before the last time I closed it.

 

1. I haven't figured out how to delete the big graphic links on the home page if I no longer want them. For that matter, how do you delete any bookmark you no longer want?
2. You need the autofill feature that Windows Explorer has. A big timesaver. (P.S. - your spellcheck should recognize "autofill" and "timesaver" and "spellcheck.")
3. Embedded mp3 audio files can't be displayed and played, though they work fine in Explorer.
4. Check out this address: http://tsup.truman.edu/
You'll see the browser makes a hash of it, though again Explorer handles it fine.
5. Your tab feature is nice; however, I second the comment of the user who urged you not to terminate the program altogether when the last tab was deleted.

 

How to customize the download settings so that whenever i click on a pdf line it starts downloading?

 

i am unable to read the url given by me above this is a telugu fonts please help me in this regard

 

Why can you give standalone installer for chrome. Is it necessary that everytime download is done via net. Give me setup that can run offline.Is that a big deal for you guys?

Small things make big diff. u must understand...

max@productjudger.com

 

when can we have the autofill facility ? Also when going to yahoo email it is not saving the password even when I have ticked the option in chrome ?

 

Chrome doesnot support the regional language typing (Ctrl+g)feature which is provided by its own social site Orkut. Nor can a regional language posting be pasted from other locations. A great disadvantage for an Orkutter like me.

Google chrome doesn't allow me to reply in Hotmail.It doesnt display the text editor.Why is it so? Do I have to make any change in the settings for that?

 

This will fix the problem

--user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/525.19 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.1 Safari/525.19"

Right-click the Google Chrome shortcut, click Properties, and paste the line above to the end of the Target field, leave a space first
Note: This should only be used for testing or a temporary workaround to use Hotmail; it makes sites treat your browser as Safari 3.

 

I tried using Chrome while searching some census records at Ancestry.com. I found some records I wanted to save - but that produced two problems:
1. Chrome did not remember where the previous record was saved, so I had to go back to find the right folder every time.
2. Chrome saved the image like this: "imagenamejpg". Since there was no period between the name and the extension, I had to go through and change each file name manually.
Think I'll go back to Firefox - Chrome isn't finished yet!

 

unable to read telugu font in chrome

 

Can you please change the Ctrl+Shift+Enter in the address bar to add ".org" instead of ".com"?

(for instance, just type "google" into the address bar and hit Ctrl+Enter - it will add the www. and the .com for you)

Firefox allows you to hit Ctrl+Shift+Enter to add ".org" - this is very helpful.

Adding a shortcut for ".net" would also be very helpful!

Thanks!

 

It is a pain that the "Other Bookmarks" folder cannot be removed. I use all the space of the bar in Firefox, and it occupies valuable space by just being there. It is better to have direct shortcuts on such a bar, than menus. Otherwise I'd just use the normal bookmark storage.

 

When hitting the space bar, the website does not scroll down one page. This is a very functional manner, which I hope will be implemented soon.

 

Please install a prompt that alerts the user if he is closing a window in which multiple tabs are open.

 

Though I do have my issues with Chrome, I'd like to say congrats to everyone involved.
One thing I really miss, though, is the Google toolbar. How can Google's browser not be compatible with its own toolbar?
I am aware that I can enter google searches OR urls at the top, which is nice... But most users are programmed to look for the google search bar.
The search box is the most obvious loss, but I miss the other functions of the toolbar almost as much!
It's a little embarassing that Google's products can't talk to each other this manner. That's not to say that Chrome is horrific- it's certainly far from that- but if you guys want to give IE or Firefox a run for their money, there's still some work to be done.

 

I love how the top bar doubles for address AND search bar. Very convenient.

Please add an "undo close tab" function like Firefox.

 

i am unable to see telugu fonts of eenadu in google chrome. thats why i am not using google chrome.

 

Google Chrome sucks. When I browse the net with this browser, the words overlap with other words when you move up or down a page. To clear it, I click on any part of text and hit CTRL+A (to select all) and then click again - to deselect. This refreshes the screen and looks ok. But the moment you do a page down or up, this problem appears again.

 

chrome is a great browser.. But one thing I'd like chaged is this :
When you close the window - there is no alert message like- do u wanna close all the tabs! I think this should be done.. cos accidents always happen!

 

Google Chrome locking, good every time I try to perform the download with the download history to open the Chrome curb and must be closed in sows.

 

my comment about the UI of Chrome,

whenever any menu is opened, the mouse does not appear

Hesham

 

Google chrome is good..
But the google chrome logo is similar to windows media player logo :(
A more attractive logo like firefox will be better

 

when i open orkut.com it always sows my usernameandpassword how can i remove it

 

Using Chrome, when opening an attachment in your email it requires that you to save the attachment before playing it. Then you have to go to the download file to delete it after viewing. I most often shift to IE when looking at attachments because it will allow you to run the attachment without saving it.

 

a pulldown keyboard, on the righthand side of any google search box would be cool.
just like this one , check out

I do not like the look of google chrome and opted to uninstall it. I found that after uninsalling chrome none of my hyperlinks in any of my ms office programs would work. So I have had to reinstall google chrome and am very upset that chrome has hijacked my other programs. If this is an effort to punish users from choosing to not use chrome then it is a very low blow from the google team. If not then they should at last take steps to rectify the problem before there is a riot by those who use MSOffice and NOT use chrome after looking at deciding it is not for them. I first looked at it because it was recommended by a family member but have found that the rest of us have been faced with the same problem of hijacked hyperlinks. I use hyperlinks in abbundance in my work and foung the time delays in finding a remedy to the resulting problems cauded by google chrome costly both in time and productivity. SHAME ON THE GOOGLE TEAM ! ! ! !

 

I spend a lot of time posting messages on message boards and discussion forums on the Internet, and I find that the weakest point on Google Chrome is it the text editor where you type your messages to post on the boards. A lot of the time it doesn’t work properly, or doesn’t work at all. When you want to add various formatting to your text, such as changing the text color, or making the text bold or italics etc, it doesn’t work or goes wrong. As an example you can try the Beliefnet forums and the Catholic Answers Forums. Try typing in text and formatting it, and posting it on the boards, and you will see that it often doesn’t work properly.

 

I and my brother LOVE Google Chrome's speed and intuitive interface. However, when uploading an email attachment, it always fails; whereas Firefox works in this capacity. And there's no autofill, which comes in VERY HANDY when unemployed and applying to several jobs. So these are two drawbacks. Lastpass doesn't work with Google Chrome either, which I think is Lastpass's fault, not Google Chrome, which is very new of course.

 

I was wondering if all bookmarks could be exported to igoogle, so that the home page on igoogle could replicate the google chrome new tab page.

 

There are problems in either Google Chrome or in yahoo compatability with Chrome.
This causes funny situations which can infact be very embarasing or frustrating as the case may be.
eg: The compose mail page does not give any confirmation or reset after a successful send. Hence one may feel that the mail was not sent through and click on send again... Actually the mail keeps sending successfully every time. This is known only when you check your sent box.

eg: In the compose page sometimes the attachment never works. i.e., when you click on attach the page continues to stay in the same state and does not update. regardless of howmany times you click the page does not update. The solution is refresh the page and try again. Well keep in mind to copy your just composed mail as refreshing the compose page resets the content to blank message.

eg: In case you do manage to access the attachments page then still sometimes the page is stuck in the attachments page and does not return to the compose page... This is very irritating.

Well if you still like to use Chrome - like me... go ahead but take care of not getting caught in the first example case, check your sent box before clicking on the send button the second time.

Well this is not a frequent occurance and only something that happens once in 20 odd times. So do not worry too much on it. And that is why I dont think the problem is with yahoo.

It works perfectly in IE and close to perfect in Mozilla.

I dont use other email providers frequently and hence cant say about how well they work with Chrome.

Well hopefully it is just a bug and not an underhand propaganda to promote their mail service...

Otherwise a good browser... Most sites have compatibility problems.. but thats because of the way they are modeled. It will slowly change as Chrome is more widelly accepted

 

adode flash player is not working through google chrome

 

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.

 

this browser is just a crap , some times taking tooooo much time to load gmail etc and most of the time i cant connected to websites , i get dns error , uh! im no longer goin to use this , back to firefox and ie

 

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.
