yet another posting about Google's Chrome browser.

so, Luigi, do you have any plans to look at exploits for this yet? there have been at least two released so far.

is that crap even worth downloading ? google is good, but i doubt that browser is. FireFox is the best so far (because of plugins)

for a beta, yes. im not a google fan boy, but within 24 hours of releasing it, it held over 1% of the browser market share, so they did something right. we'll see how long the numbers last i suppose.

do NOT use that shit of google chrome.
just to make you an example, everytime you type something in the URL bar the browser contacts clients1.google.com and sends it the url you are typing

Sethioz · **Posted:** 05 Sep 2008 22:03

thats really dumb lol. hate all programs that does something before i even start searching. that includes all autofills and such..and specially when it sends some info before i even click search.

You can turn off the suggestive search feature (which sends your url data to google as you type it). Goto Options > Basics tab > Click Manage > Uncheck the box.

Though I still won't use it as a primary browser just yet. Too many major bugs, just check out milworm, there were like 3 more released today. Plus, firefox does the job just fine.

I think Google should open an auctions site to counter ebay, and use google checkout as the preferred payment option. Ebay needs some good competition.

It can be disabled. But yes, who knows what else they do with that data besides returning recommended search results when you keep it on.

Firefox does the same bad thing with the search entry in the up/right corner, in fact is better to remove that entry and using a fixed link to a search engine

Sethioz · **Posted:** 08 Sep 2008 22:32

well im very paranoid about all programs that act ''on their own''. all auto updates, auto search, auto complete ..etc, so im not going to try it. fox works just fine.

oh me too, i hate auto updates, they piss me off, i just put them on auto notify and stuff...
just because it's a computer, they want EVERYTHING automatic for some reason...

Sethioz · **Posted:** 10 Sep 2008 09:58

well if it would be real A.I. then i would have nothing against it, but it fucks up my work and games. it starts to update in middle of stuff...so it LAGS everything or just reboots, because it wants reboot after installation ...OR it pops up some retarded pop-up when im typing or doing something else. so i dont see what i click and sometimes it fucks up after that.
LONG time ago i had windows updates on .. and it caused my whole windows to crash into blue screen..and never got that windows working again. had to reinstall (ive also seen same problems in other computers).
also all those autofills ... some programs chooses the word when you click left or right .. so when you make a type error and try to move back it chooses the autofilled word, thts just so dumb.

and i dont think that google chrome has any kind of plugins or addons ?!

evan1715 · **Posted:** 11 Sep 2008 02:41

oh yeah i hate the windows update, like after it's downloaded and installed like every 10 minutes it pops up and says "Restart now or Restart Later" i wish it would stop doing that!
or like if it pops up sometimes and im typing i might press enter or something and it's highlighted "Restart Now" and it restarts, i hate it lol

google chrome is still in the beta, i doubt it has plugins or addons already
