This might get you approved quickly... https://services.google.com/fb/forms/cr48basic/?referrer=cntp

The link that you get on a new tab in Chrome that asks to apply now.

I was thinking of doing that but decided against it - I'd say a full form that asks you for more information (and that you find by going to the Chrome OS website) is more likely to get you accepted than a link that seems to be showing up in everyone's Chrome browser.

It does not show in everybody's browser. I believe they make Chrome track your web activity including what websites you go to and how long to determine if you would be a good tester. I didn't get the option until I went to several tech websites and browsed for a couple hours.

It appeared for me immediately when I installed the developers channel on a fresh Ubuntu installation (was trying out Natty alpha).

Did not for me. And I installed it on several computers. Then I decided to use Chrome Sync/Autofill/Themes, and on one of my computers it popped up on the new tab page after several hours.

Odd. I didn't do any customizations to it. Just showed up immediately after installation and first launch.

Probably because it detected you on a Ubuntu alpha install...it probably automatically assumed you were a power-user. I'm just on Windows 7 and Chrome Dev Channel.

That is a pretty big assumption. :(

I'm on Windows 7 and Dev Channel and got the device from the drop down button. It appeared right after the webcast finished. I had closed the window, opened Chrome up 5 minutes later, and there it was.

Or it shows up if it detects you're using the Dev Channel maybe? (Or, in my case, the Chromium daily builds in the chromium-daily PPA.)

Who knows. I use the dev channel on all my PCs yet my laptop is the only one that gets the prompt.

It only works if you have Ubuntu installed =S

What? no... where do you see that in the 3 steps. For standalone, you don't need ubuntu. Dualboot? maybe... but if you know your way around a boot loader, you can make it work without.

After I filled out the form & survey it just sent me back to the "Test drive a Chrome notebook" page, was that it...?

Anyway, yea hope I get one! :)

That's probably because you went over the 140 character limit in the little blurb part.

If done correctly, it should say something like "This page confirms that we have received your application, thanks..." etc.

I re-did it and got the confirmation, thanks :)

I think I did go over the 140 characters the first time.

Does this message mean i will get one? It's the message I received after applying.

Thanks for submitting your application! This page confirms that we've received your application, and we're looking forward to reading it. We'll contact you if you've been selected!

I used this page in Google Chrome to apply:

Doesn't mean you'll get one 100%, but at least they have your application for sure. Now you can join us and see if any tracking numbers are going to your zip code once they ship the next batch :p

That message just means that Google got your completed form and if your lucky you'll get selected for a Cr-48.

EDIT:

Beat me to it. :p

    • Brave Browser 1.91.168

      By Copernic · Posted

      Brave Browser 1.91.168 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package. Brave Browser 1.91.168 changelog: Web3 Added “Get Started” section to the “Portfolio” page. (#54029) Added the ability to view “Asset Distribution” in “Portfolio”.

(#54062) Added PDF text extraction at upload time. (#51911) Updated display of Brave Leo attachment previews to scroll horizontally instead of vertically. (#54258) Updated the “Copy” button for the code block header to be sticky when scrolling. (#53704) Updated the staged content in the Leo side panel to be the active tab. (#53533) Updated the search terms in the answer’s footer to be left aligned. (#54204) Fixed crash which could occur in certain cases when using multiple tool requests.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By SystemX2 · Posted

      Thanks to some of the other recent Windows improvements, I'm optimistic about this one. My quick wishlist would be: perf like the older menu, merge both menus or at the very least, the older menu should be a flyout, not a simulated click to the old menu, and lastly, a customization window to let users move items from one menu to another, so I could bring Send To back to the main menu, and the OneDrive settings to the older.
