857584 2010-02-12 22:54:00 I am trying out the Beta version on W7.
It is saving passwords.
If you want a Bookmark Icon on the main toolbar, Right click the desktop Chrome icon>Properties. Edit the URL chrome.ex --Bookmark-Menu Ok

There is now a large range of add-ons.
My main objection is that unlike FF when you go Back, it goes to the top of the page instead of to the exact spot. This is very tedious on long lists like TradeMe and F1. Opera also has this fault.

857585 2010-02-13 07:29:00 I've been using it since the early betas. It's up to beta 5.0.317.2. The only thing I don't like is the silent installer. I like to know what's going on. Tried to install an update on to a machine with an old Version 4 beta. Nothing happen. I saw a log file bing created in the directory I had save it in that said the version that I was updating from was too old. How hard would it be to make a interactive installer with this sort of feedback??

I currently using Opera 10.5 beta. Still has a few nasties..
I'm current

857586 2010-02-13 10:07:00 I forgot another objection.
It is not installed in Program Files like all the other software, buried itself somewhere!

857587 2010-02-13 10:12:00 It'll tell you when you install it. I think it installs to user folder/username/local/appdata/roaming Speedy Gonzales (78)
857588 2010-02-14 09:12:00 Why???
Too arrogant to go into Program Files like everyone else ;-)

857589 2010-02-14 09:18:00 Ask google its their program. You can change the install path cant you? Speedy Gonzales (78)
857590 2010-02-14 12:56:00 I have try Google Chrome for mac, but then I tend to use Safari and Firefox more. PiscesKiwi (7911)
857591 2010-02-14 18:36:00 I have found that Chrome Portable uses approximately 12 - 15 meg of ram for each add-on. I use Chrome to check my Gmail everyday, it is good but not as good as Firefox, yet, but the addon usage which I just discovered yesterday is a bit of a worry.

I have plenty of ram on my desktop but not my laptop which I also use at times when I have to do a specific job at work.

857592 2010-02-14 19:15:00 Yeah I have Google Mail Checker Plus which uses 24MB... 1/170th of the total available RAM on this box, so it's not really a big issue here, though I can understand where you're coming from.

That said, it is checking the email on 4 domains for me :D

857593 2010-02-14 19:35:00 I've been using Chrome for quite a while now too, though not exclusively. I have to say, I do really like it. Memory usage with some functions and addons does seem a little higher than I'd expect, but not terrible.

Saving passwords has never been a problem for me, and I've been using it since v0.4 late November 2008.
