That's why it's called beta in the first place.

www.godark.us is a better version than anything else google can produce simply because it looks so BA

Another browser that I can use to browse the internet and to do everything else that all other browsers do........OMG......I AM JACKING OFF RIGHT NOW. WOAW....another fucking browser to gain 2.7% of the market. Another browser not to support Active X components. FUCK YOU GOOGLE AND FUCK YOUR browser.

I feel better now.

If anyone was having the problem I was having, I have a fix. You have to go into your registry though. So from the very beginning: Start > Run (or Windows Key + R), then type in "regedit" without the quotes obviously, then go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox. In there, there should be a key called "CurrentVersion." Double click it. If the numbers in the value are not 3.0.1(which should be your current version), then change them to 3.0.1, but leave everything else the same. Then click OK and you should be able to import from firefox. Apparently if you updated from older versions, like I did, or something, it didn't update the current version key in the registry, and chrome didn't recognize it.

Seems to just be a problem with your Firefox. I updated from an older version and Chrome was able to import my settings just fine.

It's not everyone's Firefox, but it isn't just mine either. I'm not quite sure why it does it though, so I don't know what happened differently with mine.

Why the fuck are all the colors wrong? The site is a lot more green in Chrome than it was in Firefox or IE.

I need my middle-click auto-scrolling but this is alright so far.

The first time I tried to load it up it took a long-ass time to get any pages loaded, but my routers have been fucking up pretty consistently lately so I can't determine the cause... it all seems fine now.

Edit: The latest post button takes me to the first reply since the last time I loaded the browser, not the most recent post. This annoys the fuck out of me.

I'd bet it's a router issue. I'm finding Chrome to be MUCH faster than anything else I've used.

Green? I haven't noticed any color changes while using Chrome. Take a screenshot?

Linked for the resolution-impaired.

tl;dl: [ "too large (filesize); didn't (down)load" ]

There's a 4 point difference in the green of the background color of the background image, and there's a significantly bigger difference between the values of the actual downloaded image, and its representation in either browser.

How bizarre.

Incognito mode has been just fine for me.

That's strange. Mine are the same colors, and the same as what they're supposed to be.

Don't know how you'd go about fixing it though.

Everything · 09-05-2008, 06:43 PM

At first I thought Chrome error'd me when I tried to watch a video off Spankwire the other day, but it was just the site. Phew.

Circuitous · 09-05-2008, 07:33 PM

Stuff I'm missing:

- middle-click opens link in new tab
- middle-click autoscrolls
- doesn't seem to understand the purpose behind vB's "last post" links
- scrolling sometimes freezes animated GIFs
- ... that's about it.
