    So Chrome uses some form of sandbox technology so I need another sandbox to protect me from exploits? o_O

    it's rather odd but Java is not working and not listed under plugins in my Google Chrome.
    Why ?

    If you mean javascript, yes, I noticed that too. Some javascripts do work, and others not (the Quick links drop down menu doesn't work here.)

    If you mean full java then you need the newest version

    You can report this bug straight from the website, it can even make a screenshot for you

    click on the page button and then the bottom option, broken or non woking website

    I am suspicious. Why is this thing installing into Documents And Settings and not into the normal Program Files? That plus the End-User agreement I don't trust.

    as to privacy, one thing rised my concernv:

    today, for the first time, i post a post in the google code project , and Surprisingly, I found my post addressed under my real name !! I cant find any related info in my google profile. and at last I recalled that I once joined a reunion group in Google Groups. and my nick there is my real name. This has frustrated me so much. I begin losing confidence in my privacy on google. too many profiles without a unified option panel.

    I am so sorry, I was utterly wrong. I must have gotten confused somehow (must have had both firefox and chrome open at the same time)
    I just installed it again and Roboform is not there.
    Sorry.

    (jeez, whats the matter with me)

    Now chrome works for me (it was Looknstop that for some reason block chrome, must´ve given it just session permisson)
    Chrome is really, really fast in rendering pages, we´re talking K-meleon speed here :)
    I just hope we will in the future be able to use extensions in it, I must have the ability to move the tabs where ever I want and have mouse gestures :)

    It's normal for programs to sometimes install themselves in the AppData/Documents & Settings folder. For example, the latest version of Yahoo! Messenger for Vista installs itself in the AppData folder (hidden).

    :thumb: Well it's fast on my machine.Much faster than firefox or opera without any addons.All bookmarks ware imported succesfuly from FF.Luckily my Internet download Manager (with a few exceptions),can integrate & take over the downloads.Spent a couple of minutes on deviant art browsing images ,no slowdon noticed.So all i want is something like ad block plus,and to work with sandboxie(i've seen a couple of incompatibilties already reported ,in sandboxie forum but it's only the 1st day).

    Re: Google Chrome

    i'm with xellos, i don't like it... chrome is not sandboxing plugins, reducing the security of sandboxie to make it work defeats the point of running it in sandboxie in the first place (to cover the deficiencies in chrome's own sandboxing)...

    Re: Google Chrome

    I've seen this ,i hope Tzuk will be able to find a solution that doesn't compromise the security,although if Chrome really loads a driver it will be a difficult one.

    The web pages render in the author's font and font
    size. In Firefox I was able to override the font type for all web pages
    which enables me to read them much easier and without eye strain and
    headaches. I would like to see this override feature in Chrome. Until it does i cannot use it even though i would like to
