    GMail is beta in name only. It works great. You can't tell me that 'beta' isn't an appropriate moniker for a browser that's only been out as a test version for two days (and allegedly released premature even at that).

    Wrong, it's still "beta" so they can disclaim any responsibility for bugfixes, security holes etc. It's a coverup for lazy coders. If they were honest, they'd have released it from Beta by now.

    Why are you so worried about a mere browser?

    Shouldn't you be out making more tinfoil hats or UFO spotting or whatever the f*ck it is that you do to satisfy your paranoia?

    Paranoia is the irrational belief in something that hasn't happened, or that there is no evidence for.

    People have been locked up by repressive security regimes because of Google (and Yahoo come to that). That's not paranoia.

    Balls. After a restart, it's still not showing any YT videos.

    And clicking the arrow beside a post to go to the unread posts brings me to an error page every time.

    Maybe it's a Vista issue... doubt it though.

    Almost everything google has ever released since search is still a beta. Gmail, Google talk, Google docs. Products which made it out of beta are google earth and google maps.

    What about Picassa? Google Desktop? Sketchup? Add them to Google Maps and Google Earth and it seems like "almost everything" is a pretty baseless exaggeration really.

    I'd suggest that Picassa was a fully-working product before Google bought it and Google Earth is still classed as beta.

    Well yes and no I guess. LogMeIn only supports IE and Firefow afaik. It doesn't support Safari so probably doesn't support Chrome. While as a browser it has a long way to go it's not up to Goggle to get it working with LogMeIn :)

    It has fast page loading which is good but I still am not convinced...

    It does however, load and format tables row by row whereas other browsers load the full table and format before displaying...
    Good for grid type websites...

    After a reinstall, I still can't view videos on Chrome. Another problem I noticed was when listing an item on eBay, the WYSIWYG editor is not available, leaving me with back to basics HTML editing.

    So far, pretty useless.

    I was aware of the need to replace the dll file after every update but it looks like they have changed the playing field a bit.

    The theme dll files appears to have no function now.

    If you delete it from Chrome it makes no odds to the program.

    It must be lurking somewhere else or it may have been compiled into one of the exe files :confused:

    I have it sorted Almighty, my black skin is back ;)

    Look at the directory structure in Explorer, the update has created extra folders so there is now two "Theme" folders.

    Put the black dll into the second one for now.

    Maybe we can delete the first set of folders?

    Lovely jubbely. Here have a butt load of thanks for that.

    It seems to create a new folder for each update. Probably so it's easy to roll back if something screws up.

    Yep!,

    It's OK to delete the redundant folder.

    My version prior to the update was 0.2.149.27 & that was still contained within the directory structure.

    The update added in the 0.2.149.29 which contains the second themes folder.

    I deleted the Orig folder 0.2.149.27 & all is fine.

    Just my quick thing about Chrome here. Installed it on my work machine, didn't find it particularly exciting or anything. On the contrary - after a reboot my graphic driver went bananas. Had to do a system restore to make my system work.

    So. Didn't like, not gonna use it.

    BTW: Current Chrome build uses an earlier version of WebKit with a well-known vulnerability. As of this writing, Chrome isn't fixed to use a newer WebKit.
