Google to launch a new Browser

I found out my problem with Google Chrome not running properly and it relates to Software Restriction Policy. If you have, under Enforcement, "All software files" checked instead of "All software files except libraries (such as DLLs)", then Google Chrome will not run properly. I also discovered that you can't run it under Basic User (which basically runs it under Limited User), as well. It appears it all comes down to rights of the application. Google Chrome needs free reign within the OS. Took me a long time to discover this and a lot of trouble. I feel like an idiot for going to all this trouble for a browser that at present is far behind its competition and that I'd probably will not use until later releases come out.

Later....

 

You can work around this by ticking the 'Ask where to save each file before downloading' option.

 

Exploit should already be fixed in the SVN versions

Thanks!

PS: Looks like the latest builds got a makeup:

But what about users (example younger MySpace users) set up in a Limited Account and now suddenly there is this new (beta) Google browser being hyped all over the web? My suspicion is because there was no choice given for the install directory. If Microsoft and IE tried that, they would be crucified.

 

If Google Chrome would have installed in Program Files instead of AppData within User folder SRP wouldn't have given me so much trouble. I don't understand the logic in putting it there.

 

Seems FF next version just may have an ace up it's sleeve?

Yes,once the launch excitement has died down,maybe reality will return and more flexible browsers as regards features plugins and addons ,but with possibly similar speed,will become the browsers of choice.

That is unless Google does improve this aspect

 

Is this a problem??:amongst the rest of the open ended EULA:

That sounds a bit open ended to me: heh; we trust the "do no evil" mantra.
( unless you are in China anyway...)

Does anyone see a slight oxymoron in the warning from the 'icognito' option (see image)
Hope no-one confuses that option with 'anonymity'

Have to remember Google is now a giant revenue driven conglomerate who have demonstrated an amazing ability to leverage the web for $$: this is not a 'free' tool; there are commercial implications to this "open source' initiate.

I accept that the big 'G" is not actively malignant but there are some creeping boundaries here.
Nicely avoiding the monopolistic embedding of IE
Hhmm: when they have an OS well then... ( lol other than gOS)

How does Google now reconcile the $56million they give to FF for being default search page ??

Although this is genuinely exciting, I'll just watch for a while.

That eula has started at the "all your bases are belong to us: we are the BORG" and will no doubt we hope get revised.

LoooL

Brilliant. Those guys gets a job at Google

 

Longboard,dear chasp-if it worries you,consider just blocking their cookies and stop Google and or Chrome access in your HIPS/Firewall etcetc.

They wont knock on your door if you do that and drag you to the High Court

They are welcome to mine my data-once was a miner-but then again my data wont be worth much to anyone!

 

Interesting-but would think the novelty value would be behind some of this popularity.

On the other hand,a lot of people just wont run Beta's at all,so when Chrome 1 comes out-no doubt improved and hopefully with add ons-plug ins-it could really take off.

They are hoping for at least 10% of the browser market.

 

No probs for me
This is more a sort of exploratory caveat emptor...the froth hasn't even settled..
The "beta" eula is getting somewhat of a pasting...here and there..and will be revised.

This is interesting ( I think?) http://tapthehive.com/discuss/This_Post_Not_Made_In_Chrome_Google_s_EULA_Sucks

Heh; nothing like having millions of experts pull stuff to pieces: code, exploits, eula within 24 hours: cant hurt.

 

Hey, Guys.
Here is a must have to crash your Chrome:
just input ":%" in your address bar, (dont copy/paste)
Get Prepared and have a try,
please tell me if it works in other language version. thanx.

 

Finally succumbed.........tried, crashed couple of times on start, doesn't show up under LUA anywhere. Have to be admin to run it.

Well...... long way to go before its a contender to Opera.

 

No problems here on Vista Ultimate. It is visibly faster than Firefox and Opera on my system, so far so good.

 

If you like to block Google's cookies and still see the nudie pics, use this as your search page:

Google Chrome is fast no doubt about it..

But here is few things
In Task Manager why Chrome.exe many times(If this is the reason chrome use every tab seperately)
I never seen before FF or IE Update in Task Manager but Google update is thr

Maximun time i use one Tab but if i now browse few sites how i will back Home page (Faster way) for that i need to open another Tab or what??

No Menu bar
About Control or security if u dont wants to enable Java script or Java for one site u cannot

Maybe im wrong and im not computer expert either ..Just curiosity

 

Downloaded Google chrome and it works awsome on my XP computer!

Faster then Firefox!~ now just need some useful extensions and a few more "tweaks" we are in business.

You say WHEN like it's in the near future. Aren't most of their products still in beta?

 

Those numbers aren't as bad as i expected them to be.

Chrome should have won all those tests, it didn't because it has a bug. The bug has to do with the speed of connections, at best i get 150KBs, opera easily gets 400KB/s

This means the speed of actually downloading the files which make up a website end up being way slower in chrome, the rendering might be faster but waiting for the file to reach chrome takes longer than the rendering does on other browsers

I hope they fix this bug soon (the bug has to do with the way chrome reads files so the same problem remains when using local copies)

 

Chromium SVN builds get the exact same results as tracemonkey.

In my tests Chromium Build 1716 is 18% faster than google chrome beta.

This is almost exactly the same number as tracemonkey wins by
