Only thing is that I heard Gogle checks every URL you type in for viruses and shit but if I really care I'll hop on Opera for anything that may be sensitive.


Go into the options, then the "Under the Hood" tab, and uncheck "Enable phishing and malware protection" to disable that. I wouldn't, but if you're that paranoid about privacy and don't care for security, it's an option.

But I got one problem, where in the shit are my bookmarks and how do I turn on incognito mode?


Click the wrench in the top-right corner, and select "always show bookmarks bar" (shortcut ctrl+B). You can also see them at the top in the new tab window.

To open an Incognito tab, goto the page symbol next to the wrench, and select "New incognito window" (shortcut ctrl+shift+N)



For those of you with German spell-checking, go into the options, go to the "Minor Tweaks" tab, click "change font and language settings", go to the Languages tab, and change the "Spell-checker language" to "English (United States)".

Doesn't work, it's a bar for like quickly going to it but I mean Bookmarks like in folders and shit like Opera/FireFox/Everything else. Also, dragging just takes the tab out of the tab area and lets me move it or make it a new window.

Gifs are sloooooooow btw.

Basically, anything you do in Chrome, google can use as they wish.
If it weren't for the ridiculous EULA, I'd be using Chrome. I doubt they'd really use this part of the EULA in any horribly harmful way, but as long as it's like that, I'll keep my distance.

EDIT: I just realized how well my sig goes together with the above.


Go read the first link again. Google fixedthe EULA. It turns out it was pretty much just a copy-pasta mistake. They copied some of the EULA from one of their other things.
Deadface.

Chrome glitches occasionally for me. Expected with a beta, but still.

The windows will randomly become unclickable so I have to click on the toolbar to minimize and reopen it for it to work. Sometimes I scroll, and it just jumps around the page. I don't mean jumping down while I scroll down, I mean up and down randomly. Better than IE though, I guess.

Also how it's not compatible with a lot of things I use.

Yeah, I saw that.
Good thing they did that, though it was pretty obvious they'd do it anyway.
I can once again say I love google.

Chrome won't let me click on the 'Unread' thingy for messages, lol

Chrome hates Personal Messaging.

Going incognito doesn't affect the behavior of other people, servers, or software. Be wary of:

-Websites that collect or share information about you
-Internet service providers or employers that track the pages you visit
-Malicious software that tracks your keystrokes in exchange for free smileys
-Surveillance by secret agents
-People standing behind you

I tried it out. I don't think I'll make the change untill someone makes AdBlock and NoScript extensions for it. However, it is a great programming feat, and I love it much.
