I don't see how they competition can survive amidst of all this... an outstanding product.

With java disabled, I still have to paste this link http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=50138793n into the java/Privacy setting area to watch it.
IMO, Firefox & SeaMonkey are still better browsers by far.

It is to strange how ms drop the ball with the explorer, they had years of experience, huge company,, it is important for them, it is made for their own SO, etc. The explorer is actually the slower of the web browsers and in the past they wait for people starting switching to firefox before making any important improvement to their browser.

True, but it's not very profitable to spend a lot of time and money working on a product you're going to give away for free. Although, they could use it to guide people toward Bing, which can make money via ads. it is a good question...

I'm still asked for new websites to make sure they work under IE6

It's definitely snappier than the last version, but the freezing tabs issue has returned on my system. The fix used to be to disable the "PepperFlash" plugin, but that is already down. Only way I can get locked up tabs to respond again is to pop them in and out of maximized mode. Weird behavior, but it occurs with irritating regularity when major Chrome updates hit, then is patched soon after. You would think that they could, oh I don't know, maybe catch a recurring known entity bug BEFORE major updates? Other than that, I still love me some Chrome...

I tried Firefox 18, nice GUI, and it's fast but only initially, because the time it fires up it starts eating up memory, then the lag starts. I would like to be able to go back to Firefox, mostly because of all the extensions, but overall Chrome's become my main browser. FF's memory leaks seem to still be there.

I too love Google Chrome but am tired of running my SAS scans & finding these
.doubleclick.net [ C:\USERS\THOMAS PAINE\APPDATA\LOCAL\GOOGLE\CHROME\USER DATA\DEFAULT\COOKIES ]
.invitemedia.com [ C:\USERS\THOMAS PAINE\APPDATA\LOCAL\GOOGLE\CHROME\USER DATA\DEFAULT\COOKIES ]
.invitemedia.com [ C:\USERS\THOMAS PAINE\APPDATA\LOCAL\GOOGLE\CHROME\USER DATA\DEFAULT\COOKIES ]

X many many more. I do not allow 3rd party cookies. Not to mention, disabling java I'm forced to go to settings > Show Advanced settings>Click content settings & paste the URLhttp://www.kirotv.com/s/news/live/ into the manage exceptions area of java script.
Thats why I still say Firefox & SeaMonkey are by far better. To each their own, I guess.

Are you running Windows? If you are you can install "Hostsman", it's a hosts file manager, DL it from Majorgeeks, always safe.

Additionally, you can, probably should install DoNotTrackMe, Chrome extension, any platform, it'll keep tracking and spying cookies and baddies from loading.

If you're talking to me, W7 Home Premium. Does Major Geeks give easy to follow step by step guides on how to?
I do have Do Not Track Me installed.
Here is a previous thread I had which is why I dumped it http://www.techspot.com/community/topics/question-about-google-chrome.182435/

Yes, I was talking to you. Now, Majorgeeks does not provide instructions, Majorgeeks is a repository, they have good stuff, good rograms and all, and you can trust Majorgeeks, it's one of my favorite sites to get software from. Now, like I said... no instructions, but you really don't need them, just download Hostsman and install it, then run the app, and choose update the hosts file, don't click on anything else on the application window, as the default settings are recommended.

The DoNotTrackMe extension, just install it, and you shouldn't see them nasty tracking cookies again next time you run a scan.

Thanks, I'll give it a try.
Ok, its a zip file. Did I get the wrong one or not?

Duckula22, I've done what you've suggested, now I'll see if it works.

Clear cache first, just to have a fair test setting.

Thanks, just did it.

I just saw the question above, yes, it's a zip file, the installer should be in it.

I went ahead with it, hopefully correctly.

Duckula22, post #3 is another reason I don't care for Google Chrome. I will NOT enable java.
I don't have to be concerned with FF or SeaMonkey. Depending on this thread http://www.techspot.com/community/topics/about-java.188884/
I may dump java till the nightmares are over. Thanks for your help.

"Chrome 24 fixes two dozen bugs"
Was this intended to be ironic, or perhaps symbolic on Google's part?

I guess it's "six of one, or half a dozen of the other", if it was.....(or wasn't).

Besides, I thought Chrome didn't have any bugs.....
