Chrome warns about known conflicts

Re: Which AVs are you running together?

I wish more security software checked for other incompatible programs. Sandboxie does this, Chrome can do this, and it's a great feature.

 

Re: Which AVs are you running together?

Can you tell more about Chrome checking for incompatible programs?

 

Re: Which AVs are you running together?

Go to about:flags

Check for known conflicts with 3rd party modules.
Enables a background check that warns you when a software incompatibility is detected (ie. 3rd party modules that crash the browser).

 

Re: Which AVs are you running together?

Uhhh... gulp!

 

Re: Which AVs are you running together?

Yeah. They're worth it...

 

Re: Which AVs are you running together?

I'm having a tough time getting past... "Jokes aside, your browser may delete all your data, or your security and privacy could be compromised in unexpected ways."
Maybe I'll create a fresh image and go for it.
Do you have the Check for known conflicts with 3rd party modules feature enabled, Hungry?

 

Re: Which AVs are you running together?

Yes I do, among quite a few others.

 

Re: Which AVs are you running together?

Okay, I just enabled the Chrome check for known conflicts with 3rd party modules.
Any idea when the background check takes place, Hungry?
When launching Chrome?
Constantly?

PS - Btw, I've asked a mod to break this off into a separate subject because I know it is OT.

 

Re: Which AVs are you running together?

Alrighty, new topic for it.

I assume it's when launching chrome as well as periodically but I really don't know.

 

Yes, it's much better to not have this topic mixed in with the other thread.

Can you tell me, Hungry, have you ever been warned that a Chrome background check has detected a software incompatibility?

And I wonder if, like Avira or some of the others I read about, the incompatible software is deleted? That would be a bit too aggressive.

 

Nope, never been warned.

I doubt they would ever remove software that wasn't compatible.

You may want to try out a few more about flags. I have these enabled:
Preload Instant Search
Smooth Scrolling
Prerender From Omnibox
Enable shortcuts in the omnibox

 

I will definitely look into them, and will (surprise!) post back if questions.

Btw, enabling 'Check for known conflicts with 3rd party modules' did not stick on one of my machines.

Upon relaunch, it was still not enabled... and I had made sure when enabling it to first disable forced programs in SBIE before opening Chrome.

I'll see if it sticks this time, when I get around to relaunching.

 

Hm. Alright, good luck.

 

As long as it's specific, not over-generalizing, I think these are great features.

 

I don't see Smooth Scrolling on the flags list.

 

I'm on 15, you must be on 14.

 

That must be it. Thanks.

 

Yeah, for whatever reason, enabling 'Check for known conflicts with 3rd party modules' still does not stick on one of my machines.

 

Very strange. No clue why.

 

http://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/about-conflicts

Seems to be a blessing for Windows users. It's not there in Chrome 14 stable (Linux)

 

Yes, apparently they're still working on porting it.

 

Excellent document, vasa1. Thanks for posting.
I'll keep an eye out for the red dot (or now the exclamation point).

 

for dlls ?

 

For conflicts in general, which is why it's changed from about:dlls to about:conflicts.
