Yes - I got fed up of firefox' current rash of problems so I downloaded chrome yesterday. Interesting browser - quite different to firefox and IE. It might get annoying after a while with its page of frequently visited sites - but then again I haven't played around with the settings at all yet. Definitely worth a punt.

I'm not experiencing any Forefox problems and am (ooh surprise!) a heavy user. I will give Chrome a go when I'm at home (work is blocking it I think) but I also use Safari (I like they way it renders pages in a 'softer' fashion) and mini-Opera so I'm no loyalist

It looks very promising, but for someone like me who has, and uses several thousand bookmarks, the bookmark

management is, as yet, useless, so back to Firefox, but in a year or so, Chrome could well be amazing.


For me, for now, Google has this to say:

memo at work


" new Web browser from Google has not been approved for use at the firm.


Do not download Google Chrome or install it on your computer. It is considered unauthorized software that could compromise secure data.


If you have installed the Google Chrome program on a company computer, de-install it immediately."


That's me told!

The User Licence and terms were changed after several complaints, if you look into the story, Google claims that it used the licence for another of its products (whether this holds any water with you is a matter for you, and the conspiracy theorists to make your own mind up on).

The Register will probably have something on this soon, if they haven't already.

Ta Steve, would have posted more - in the sea of articles about Chrome, there are a few worth reading, but held back on posting more as there seems little interest here about it.


I suppose there may be more interest when iTunes 8 is launched next week (along with its super sexy, bought in visualiser).. :))

greasemonkey is a javascript framework that allows you to manipulate pages once they are loaded and do ajax type calls to things like the flickr or google APIs.


Basically it allows amateurs out there to write scripts which you load into your firefox browser to enhance the user experience on sites. There are loads of very useful ones for flickr that I use.


Extensions are essentially add-ons you can download, again mostly written by the user community, meaning you're not dependent on, say microsoft or Opera to develop new functionality.

I've a few such as context translation, mouse gestures, dictionaries, and useful developer tools such as firebug.


Here's where you find them if you're curious

    • Unfortunately Nissan was a disaster of a company when it created your car and still is, and most recently created another combined disaster alliance with Renault. Be aware, the trade value on your car is really low as no one wants to do the work & it's often only when it reaches near scrap value that someone (else) is willing to invest (their money) to try and fix. So if you're willing to front the money and fix your car that (you know) then that is most likely your best option (also understanding that it is outrageous that you should have to replace a CVT gearbox after 50K). If that isn't appealing consider a new Skoda Fabia 1.0 (Auto) on finance if you can't afford cash, it will last 20yrs.... (and avoid cars from the Stellantis group)
    • If you are referring to me, I was using my mobile. Just quoting the post I was replying to would have made no sense without showing my original post as well. I wouldn't have been able to do that on a "real PC" either, assuming I carried one around with me everywhere. It's nothing to do with what I'm using, it's the way the forum is set up to quote posts. I did insert a screenshot showing the keyboard by mistake.
    • You have to book for the Sunday roasts in advance. I have bad memories of once going for a circular  walk around Downe and then trying to eat. The Queens Head staff (and customers)  looked at us as if we were mad for attempting to get a meal without booking. The other pub in the village  reeked of bleach.  We had to  drive around in search of a meal, and ended up at some large pub whose name and location  I have thankfully forgotten. All I remember is the food, which was truly awful.
