Do not use Google Chrome

[ThePCConnection]

New version out. Click the wrench and select about Google Chrome. It will check for updates. I have not seen the change log. Updated to build 1798

Hmm...won't update for me. I go to about Google Chrome, get the about window, close it, everything goes back to normal.

Omg that's evry insecure :o,anyway it's useless for Google to enter the browser Market.

Why? Let Google have their shot... It will also be on every Android Phone I am sure!

Perhaps the best idea is to integrate with the signing process in Vista or XP, the way that Internet Explorer tells the filesystem that executables have been downloaded from the internet and tell the user to move the file into the standard 'zone' before they can be executed.

It also adds 'GoogleUpdate' to the startup items. WTF why can't they get it to update when you launch the browser instead of adding another process. Anyway after reading this thread i've uninstalled it.

Add a new process or tie it into the an chrome.exe process...what is the difference. Still using the same resources.

no supernova, if i wanna install chrome and play with it once every 2 weeks it will use system resources even when i'm not using the browser so 98% of those 2 weeks.

Chrome should be an alpha not a beta, awful installer which doesnt install for me, background process, security vulnerabilities and many other problems and yet they announced it for the world to download, publicised on bbc news and everywhere else.

That is true. I didn't think about it that way but as you said, it has vulnerbilities so wouldn't you want it to be up to date the next time you used it? Because some of those may have been fixed by then. You don't want to open up start browsing and get infected when you could have had a newer build.

This is why I will only use Chrome on safe websites.. like Neowin =D

Was planning to have a look at this, but think I'll wait a little while after reading this thread. Looks like its got a long way to go.

I was thinking the same thing. I removed google updater some time ago then noticed it came back on, without me knowing, after I install chrome. I don't need Google Updater running in the background. Why not just have updates from within the browsers..
