how to install google chrome as browser-only?

I don't know if this works for the standard installer, but it works with the MSI installer... according to Google anyway.

tnx folks, i'll look into it.

 

the bolded part above is one of the reasons i created this topic in the first place.

 

@adrenaline7...
Once updating was disabled it was discovered that no updates had occurred?
Where's the mystery?

 

for me, as i said, it's just the bolded part, which is:

the only difference is that i used "autoruns" instead of msconfig.

 

Chromium = SRWare Iron

may i ask a question ?

is Chromium = SRWare Iron ?

thanks

 

Re: Chromium = SRWare Iron

AFAIK Iron is a fork of Chromium.

 

Re: Chromium = SRWare Iron

Chromium is the open source project. Iron takes that source code, adds their own bit of code/removes bits of code, and then releases it.

 

Re: Chromium = SRWare Iron

So Iron's a fork, right ... or wrong?

 

Re: Chromium = SRWare Iron

I don't know the definition of a fork. On a guess? Probably.

 

Re: Chromium = SRWare Iron

I thought it was when two almost identical releases were made from the same original source code, like Open Office & Libre Office.

I don't think that the definition of 'fork' would apply to something like Comodo Dragon & Chromium, but Iron's Chromium roots are evident when you set it as default & in the menu pop-up it claims to be 'Chromium' rather than Iron.

 

thanks

i installed a portable version of Chromium , ChromiumPortable but can't change the language

iron , can get the google add-on

 

maybe this?:

Re: Chromium = SRWare Iron

I don't think they have to be similar for it to be a fork. As long as it's taken from source code and has code added to it that isn't committed to the original project.

 

thanks

i installed a portable version to test

it's a great browser
i used opera and firefox
chromium can have lots of extension
but i can not customize it , i mean for example the icons (in firefox i can do it)
and i miss a lot the search bar in firefox

 

If you want a customizable browser go for Opera or Firefox.

 

You can install chrome and then unchecked Google update on msconfig and delete planified tasks

 

Re: Chromium = SRWare Iron

Wikipedia to the rescue:

 

i start to like Chromium a lot

i miss only one feature , the firefox downloadehelper extension

by the way do you prefer chromium or iron ?

 

I prefer Chrome.

 

is there some better features in chrome ?

 

Re: Chromium = SRWare Iron

OK. I reckon originally that would have made Firefox a fork of SeaMonkey.

 

Re: Chromium = SRWare Iron

Without implying anything disparaging , I'd think of Iron more as a tweak of Chromium code than as a fork.

ah nice features
i guess i will install chorme
but i don't understand one thing
are the extension of Chromium and chrome the same ?

and the right click "translate to english" is for me odd
i would like to change translate to (another language)
in the settings ,under the hood , language i add my language
but i did not change it

thanks
cheers
