According to the company’s official blog, Google Chrome has over 1500 new features. This three minute video talks about how to install extentions.
Follow along with the video below to see how to install our site as a web app on your home screen.
Note: This feature may not be available in some browsers.
I bet Kyle loves that.I'm using the adblock extension lol. I bet google loves that. Blocking out all of their ads in their own browser.
I bet google loves that
More companies need to realize that people who install ad blockers, are the people who generally don't go around clicking on ads anyway
Exactly, if I want to buy items I go directly to the sites that have them or I Google it. I don't mind at all the way Google does the ads, I have to admit that Google does such a good job of embedding the ads, that if I'm not totally awake I click through, but the flashing ,moving ads annoy me. I will hunt down any program that will get rid of them.
Odd, it says extensions don't work with my version of Chrome, then I click download the new version and it still says they won't work.
Goto the wrench and go to "About Google Chrome". Then restart the browser.

and there is no need to restart the browser
and I quote from the video
LIES!
But I love google and will prob download when I get home.
chrome is great for sharepoint and works better with ms websites than IE
its much faster than ie
i had tons of errors with firefox, timeouts etc that chrome has helped with
if your like me and chrome 1 sucked... try chrome 4 its much better!
there sure are a lot of users banned in this thread.
So Chrome now has AdBlocker and NoScript? I'd consider switching if it did. Though if Adblocker still downloads but hides them, it's still better to use FireFox.
I would assume it has something to do with all of them participating in or admitting to adblocking. I believe that's a major no-no around here.
Oh no!! It has extensions now!!!
...guess the number 1 reason a lot of you Chrome lovers hate Firefox for applies to Chrome now. Looks like you're stuck without the interwebz!!!111one1two?
Of course, I'm being a smart ass. I like both Chrome and Firefox - and would probably be using Chrome right now if their extensions and extension system was a bit more fleshed out. Also, I hope they offer the ability to make the browser look exactly how I want it to look soon. The "themes" part of Chrome is severely lacking.
For now, I'm sticking with Firefox...but I do feel that I'll eventually switch to Chrome if they get some of the customization features a bit fixed up.
wut?
Why in the hell would that be a reason to dislike Chrome? If you don't like extensions, don't use them.

Isn't it silly to ban people for using the most popular add-on in FireFox? In FireFox, when I go to add new plugins and select most popular, ABP is the most popular, followed by NoScript and Video DownloadHelper.
To me, it seems people just don't wanna see the seizure inducing ads that a lot of websites have. Not to mention how much of a security risk they often are. CNN.com had a problem with them. When Blizzard introduced ads to their forum, there were ads for gold selling, which also hacked accounts. A number of websites had ads that were harmful.
The reason this happens is because the ads aren't hosted on websites, but it's also the reason why they can be so easily blocked. So the web admins put faith in the advertising companies to handle their ads. A lazy mistake if you ask me.
