    Google has just released its Chrome 4.0 browser to the stable channel. Two major features added to the 4.0 version: bookmark sync and extensions (aka. addons similar to Firefox).

    1. Big headline — Google discovers Extensions and Bookmarks! Yawn!

    2. A week ago I got Chrome and was zooming round like a madman.
      Now it’s just updated itself to 4.0.249.78 and it’s gone noticeably slower!
      And when I log into googlemail, I get an exclamation triangle saying “This page contains some insecure content”.
      Which makes ME very insecure.

    3. what version of Chrome did you have installed before updating to 4.0.249.78, maghullyback?

      four major versions of Google Chrome and still NO “Print Preview” feature. I know I will NOT be using Chrome to print web pages until Print Preview gets implemented into Chrome.

    4. Hello EP

      Sorry; I haven’t a clue as to my previous version of Chrome. I presume it was the version prior to the current release. It was only a week before the upgrade I first downloaded Chrome, so surely it was the one before the new one.

      Chrome is beginning to bother me too. I don’t like the dodgy-sounding insecure content thing I get; I don’t like the way you have to click through 3 boxes to clear your browsing history whereas before it was right there in the dropdown menu; and I certainly don’t like the way it displays paypal pages. For some reason, it (sometimes) makes them look like really amateurish phishing pages. So for email, ebay, and banking stuff, I’ve gone back to IE8.

      I’ve not been bothered so much about the lack of a print preview. I hardly print anything these days if I can help it, because of the sodding price of ink. 40 quid for a set of Epsom cartriges! Robbing b45ta2d5!

      Cheers EP.
