clx Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 haha i tryed the blabla:% thing, i thought each tab was meant to be separate so it wouldn't crash the whole browser...? anyway, not a bad browser, fast, displays all websites i need. ONly things i need now are; SKINS! something other than this boring blue! online fav's like google sync (co-incidence that they stop developing for it?) and add block Edit - i seem to be having problems with flash, but only from neowin, no other sites...

McoreD Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Chrome is great, tried it in a Virtual Machine. Can't run it in the main machine because it doesn't even start unfortunately.

jmc777 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Apologies if this has already been pointed out. When you search a page for a word, it highlights where the results are over in the scrollbar area.

ozulus Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 you obviously didnt read my post:"my internet connection is fine with nothing uploading and downloading and zonealarm disabled" Sorry didn't see the post above your last one. When I installed I got a message from windows firewall asking for permission. I installed it on 3 computers already with no trouble. 2 on windows vista and 1 on xp sp3. Does your ISP work through a proxy only? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/664346-google-chrome-browser/page/23/#findComment-589735580 Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you search a page for a word, it highlights where the results are over in the scrollbar area. Nice! :) I love the search! and you notice the message box (where you typing it) every box allow you resize it from bottom right corner with "//" there, drag it. I think its from Chrome.

wellofsouls Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Apologies if this has already been pointed out. When you search a page for a word, it highlights where the results are over in the scrollbar area. I kinda wished the highlights can be shown floating over the scrollbar instead of under it. that'd be more helpful IMHO.

joker999 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 To make Chrome crash, just type in blabla:% in your address bar.Works when you click on a link to it or even hover over it. Can't post it here as the forum software adds http:// to the URL Love the crash "Whoa! Google Chrome has crashed. Restart now?" :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/664346-google-chrome-browser/page/23/#findComment-589735628 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Lyle Global Moderator Posted September 3, 2008 Global Moderator Share Posted September 3, 2008 is this an official release, or just a beta?

The_Decryptor Veteran Posted September 3, 2008 Veteran Share Posted September 3, 2008 Chrome also mis-renders PNG files if you apply opacity:; to them, why does it have these strange regressions.

Robbie Khan Reviews Posted September 3, 2008 Reviews Share Posted September 3, 2008 Did you guys know it has a real time HTML editor built in ?

The_Decryptor Veteran Posted September 3, 2008 Veteran Share Posted September 3, 2008 When the site loads, the images fade in, until they're fully opaque they render with 1bit alpha. Beta If this was the very first release of the engine, it'd be an acceptable answer, but this stuff worked fine in earlier releases, so these are broken/regressions.

The_Decryptor Veteran Posted September 3, 2008 Veteran Share Posted September 3, 2008 Like I said in my post, you have to set a opacity on the image (Seems to render fine when it's a background-image though) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/664346-google-chrome-browser/page/23/#findComment-589735734 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Diller Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 That site you linked to, which you said was messed up, seems to be all fine on my end as well. On a side note, I'm very much liking Chrome so far. It's quick, not a system hog, and I still get my beloved bookmark toolbar :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/664346-google-chrome-browser/page/23/#findComment-589735756 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Web designers are going to love this, being able to play with website styles inline and all. I haven't tried the browser yet, since I am waiting till I get home to test it, but can you edit the javascript in real time too? Because I smell exploits all over the place here lol. But I guess what you can do with the Chrome real time, you could do with IE and firefox, just not in real time.
