Google Chrome Browser

Only works with Java 6 update 10. Not sure why they decided to support a beta plugin.

Many websites use the Java plug-in. Google Chrome requires Java version 6, update 10. Please note that this is currently a beta version and may be more unstable than some previous version of Java. To download this beta version of Java, visit http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/ea.jsp

So far it seems to work well. Mobile Me mail works as good as on Firefox 3, Hotmail on the other hand only works in classic mode.

Looking good for a Beta.

Unfortunately by using WebKit, things like ASP2.0 Menu elements come out all wrong :(

Is there an additional installer with Chrome? chrome_installer.exe http://cache.googlevideo.com/chrome/instal...e_installer.exe installed chrome, but javascript isn't running.

Could be. You probably have to get past the first step in order to get to the next area. If someone could mirror the one installer, that would be a great start.

Hope this helps people with Chrome Download Issues :)

Additional mirrors coming in a minute

That single installer by itself doesn't seem to work. I got chrome running, but nothing really works correctly, javascript simply isn't running.

What I want to do is forward cache.googlevideo.com to a local address to bypass the proxy. I'll then setup the same directory structure to see if it attempts to download anything else. I'm not going to install it directly.

Worked fine on this machine and three of my virtual machines, even managed to get it to run in Wine :D

Working out how to run it on a Mac now, give me like, another half an hour

As for JavaScript, seams to only affect certain machines, Java and Javascript both work fine here

Cool let me know how that goes.

Vegetunks, yeah I am wondering if that installer requests something else or what. I mean, I can't even load neowin....

Alright. Got it installed. Thanks for the mirror.

I didn't run it directly. I just modified the hosts file to point cache.googlevideo.com to 127.0.0.1 then setup the same folder structure with the exe. The setup then downloaded the local exe and installed it without an issue.

Cool let me know how that goes.

Works well. Just posted this using Chrome.

Nope, seams to work fine...

What OS? Maybe you need to run it as Admin in Vista?

See screenshot, Chrome with Neowin.net loaded with a painfully obvious chrome_installer.exe file on the desktop

LOL, yeah and setting Chrome as default makes all htm docts etc. look like that as well, which is quite disturbing on the eye!

Always hated how Windows does that.... You could always replace the icon resources with the firefox/IE resources and refresh the icon cache?

    • Rockstar confirms Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders begin next week, unveils cover art by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The release date of Grand Theft Auto VI has moved quite a lot since its original announcement in 2023, but it finally looks like the game has found its final launch slot. Rockstar today had a new video upload on its YouTube channel, and while it wasn't a new trailer for the game, the company revealed two things. This was the pre-order kickoff date for Grand Theft Auto VI as well as the game's official cover art. The company revealed that June 25 is when fans of the series will be able to pre-order their copy of Grand Theft Auto VI. Pre-orders will be available both digitally and in retail stores. The newly unveiled cover art shows off the two new protagonists, as well as a few more characters that are probably vital to the campaign storyline. Shots of vehicles players can use like a light helicopter, motorcycle, sports car, and speed boat are also seen here, alongside a shot of a crocodile. "Jason and Lucia have always known the deck is stacked against them," says Rockstar describing the campaign's protagonist duo. "But when an easy score goes wrong, they find themselves on the darkest side of the sunniest place in America, in the middle of a conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida — forced to rely on each other more than ever if they want to make it out alive." Grand Theft Auto VI is coming to Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 on November 19, 2026. A PC version has not been confirmed yet, though it's expected by many to land after the console release. When asked about this, the Take-Two CEO says it considers the core audience for the Grand Theft Auto franchise to be on consoles.
    • In rare occasions when you turn your computer on you will be greeted with a Secure Boot error followed by the message "No boot device found" If you go into the UEFI and disable Secure Boot the system boots up just fine. Below is a method I found online to fix the issue Disable Secure Boot and boot into Windows (If Bitlocker is enable you'll have to go to https://aka.ms/myrecoverykey on another device to find your bitlocker recovery key). Find a flash drive and make sure it's formatted Fat32 Create a folder on the flash drive called EFI and a subfolder inside EFI called BOOT On your computer navigate to C:\windows\boot\EFI Copy the file SecureBootRecovery.efi to your flash drive\EFI\BOOT Now reboot the computer and tell the computer to boot off that flash drive. You should see a black screen with some text telling you it has repaired Secure Boot Turn Secure Boot back on and reboot and your computer should boot normally.
