IZ COOL.

Just hit, settings, about google chrome, update. They make everything so easy. Number two seriously is 30% faster as they clame. Once you go to a site and then go back, it loads crazy fast.


Safari still beats it, when it comes to using cache to make pages load faster, but google chrome loads in .5 seconds for me, which is a big deal. and i imported eveything from mozzila firefox. And now you can drag a tab and move it outside the window to make a new window. And for me the most important update is that you can now middle click and move the mouse to scroll.

If your not a nerd, there is no need to continue reading.

Have you noticed that google chrome uses a lot of processes? The more tabs you have, the more it uses. I think its smart. A. if one tab shuts down it wont close the whole browser, and it saves memory. its just hard to calculate how much memory it is using when you have 33 tabs open...

What's so special?
Its nothing fast or anything. Same results for me. Still, I LOVE ET.

You could do that in the first version, too.

idk. Ill find out.

Windows 7 could already run it.

1. Right Click on Google Chrome Icon

2. Add –in-process-plugins after chrome.exe in Target field.

3. Click Apply and save changes.

4. Now start Google Chrome and it should work. I know it works on x64, which I assume you're using, and I'm sure it works on x86 as well.

Nah... Google Chrome would crash as soon as you start it.

Google: "google chrome crash on Windows 7"

It has never worked for x64 Windows 7

good thing im using 32 bit.

I've gotten it to work.

I don't know. Maybe I just got lucky. Microsoft is pretty big on screwing up their own limitations.

Edit:
Joseph, what the f*ck are you talking about?
That's Vista. aka. build 6xxx. We're talking Windows 7, build 7xxx.
