| 1179705 | 2011-02-18 22:20:00 | OK - I just read an article about the new Beta Chrome v: 10 . 0 . 648 . 82 here: . zdnet . com/blog/hardware/google-chrome-10-beta-faster-javascript-gpu-acceleration-and-more/11472?tag=nl . e539" target="_blank">www . zdnet . com If you read this - is says there's a 66% performance advantage for using it . Ok --- that's questionable but fair reporting and all --- but it leaves me somewhat mystified about one or two niggling points: Since Chrome uses the IE and Windows Exploder global settings, isn't Chrome then actually running two platforms at the same time or something like that? I mean - if Chrome has to access the settings in IE - then how can it be faster or better than IE or Firefox/Google? There must be a lot of cross-talk between Chrome and IE/WE if it has to ask of/refer to/keep a parity pipe running with the master (in this case Internet Settings and Security/Hosts files - etc) for it's permissions - right? Sounds like the long way around to me . |

| 1179707 | 2011-02-19 00:39:00 | Chrome only uses your systems settings for proxies. | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 1179708 | 2011-02-19 07:23:00 | I tried chrome and didn't like it at all. | QW. (15883) | ||
| 1179709 | 2011-02-19 14:57:00 | Yeah - it's kinda naked, huh? | SurferJoe46 (51) | ||
| 1179710 | 2011-02-19 15:27:00 | I didn't like the way it installed itself on my system by stealth, so it doesn't matter how good it is I ain't using it! | porkster (6331) | ||
| 1179711 | 2011-02-19 18:20:00 | I didn't like the way it installed itself on my system by stealth, so it doesn't matter how good it is I ain't using it! Can you enlighten me about this concern? Interested in hearing all I can about Chrome - I personally am suspicious of it -yet - so far - in the future maybe too . |

| 1179712 | 2011-02-19 19:17:00 | Yeah I'm curious to hear how this "by stealth" works. To install it I've still had to go to the website, click Install, agree to T&Cs / EULA whatever, click next and THEN it starts installing. No stealth anywhere. |

| 1179713 | 2011-02-19 21:06:00 | You guys are sounding like a bunch of tin foil hat wearing nannas, its alright, I doubt chrome will ever install by stealth, chromes pretty good, it uses things like your favourites on IE but they would be installed on your cookies folder etc | rob_on_guitar (4196) | ||
| 1179714 | 2011-02-21 05:15:00 | By stealth means that I updated Google Earth and suddenly there it was on my desk-top along with the google toolbar on I.E. I didn't ask for it, I didn't get any choice to install it or not |
