Anyone else interested in this browser? It looks like it will kick ass and who knows they might make a mobile app for it...outside of Android.
Reading your post using it now.
I will give it a go, but I do like Firefox.
opera been ok for me 7 years now on pc
and a few on pda
I've been using it for about 30mins now, it has some quirks but overall speed is the fastest I have seen in a long time.
Check out the cartoon about it:
http://www.google.com/googlebooks/chrome/
Just installed it on my HTC Shift, and it seems pretty good so far.
Regards,
Dave
Yea it is really fast. I like it.
Maybe in the future could be a good option, but now in Beta... I´ll stick to Opera.
There is no options to personalize, change color, etc, speed is good but not as good as they anounce
Don´t let go with Ads mates! Google want´s all the "Internet World", at least they have to pay us for that!!
Cheers,
it is fast though..but cant replace my Opera..no support for Emails so useless..but it has some fetures which makes it a lil nices
I've tried on my Acer One, and it works very fast, both to launch, and to open web pages. It is very low memory consuming, so i think it will be my preferred browser.
My problem with Opera is it's unstable nature with certain sites, especially older forums. Sometimes it can be a major PITA.
I downloaded it last night, it seems much faster than Firefox. I didn't know there were so many ads on some of the forums I visit I'll stick with Firefox so I don't see the ads.
** This morning I noticed that GoogleUpdate tried to access the internet about 12 times last night. This was with Chrome closed!! I don't give any programs access to the internet for updates.
I have found a problem with Chrome and vBulletin boards like XDA.
It is incorrectly turning DST ON in Eastern Australia making all times out by an hour.
In
User Control Panel
Setting DST Correction option to [Always Off] works around the problem for now. Something amiss in the Chrome javascript engine perhaps?
Without making this change whenever I switch between IE or Chrome with a vBulletin board I get an auto DST update message. IE time is correct. Chrome is wrong.
Anyone else wee this?
You might want to check the EULA a little closer there. It is definitely a boilerplate with some wide ranging implications of they enforced it. It also has a number of bugs, such as a carpet bombing vulnerability right off the get go. Nice idea and if they were to put a decent EULA on it, I might use it.... In the mean time, I'll stick with SeaMonkey or Opera.

IM USING IT RIGHT NOW!!!
It PWNS!!!
The EULA agreement has already been debunked just check section 9.4....here is how another user explained it:
Actually this is pretty flawed. I know this was posted in MANY other places as well, and I can't write to the authors of ALL those posts, but here's where copypasta news and blog entries have their flaws.
If you read section 9.4 closely, you'll see what I mean:
9.4 Other than the limited license set forth in Section 11, Google acknowledges and agrees that it obtains no right, title or interest from you (or your licensors) under these Terms in or to any Content that you submit, post, transmit or display on, or through, the Services, including any intellectual property rights which subsist in that Content
That "limited license" it refers to is what has exploded onto the internet as a violation of rights, privacy, etc. Again, if you actually read section 11, you'll see that the limited license is only for the promotion of Chrome, and this only holds to things that aren't already covered under other rights, such as copyright or intellectual property. Basically, this boils down to: Google can use anything that is online to promote itself, if one of it's users accesses that site. Which, in all honesty, it could do anyway.
This doesn't violate anything. And if you're still scared of it, use Chromium, the active open source project without the EULA that Chrome is based on.

As for bugs. I have noticed the DST bug, also it seems spell correction doesn't work on some boards I post on. Other then that it's the best browser I prefer.

Edit:
I uninstalled it yesterday. After installation it was still trying to access the internet via GoogleUpdate. I went through the registry and there were tons of references to googleupdates and chrome. I deleted all of them and haven't had any more requests. Wow, don't think I'll even reinstall it in the future just for that.
Theres some kind of memory leak
Whenever i run it
My CPU usage shoots WAY UP
Its fast but dam should it be taxing my processor like that
Cool browser
I love it, been using it for about a week now LOL. But there is still a lot of work needs to be done!
Google Chrome is so much faster on many websites, especially on XDA-developers.com, where it is seconds faster when switching between pages in the forum.
And by using privoxy on newspapers, etc., you can get rid of those annoying ads with ease.
Sick of it.
I open a tab for xda-developers and leave it to load, log in, browse for a while, and go away to make a coffee, sort an issue for a colleague, play Teeter, whatever, and I'm logged out.
How can I stop this? I know it's only a small issue, but when it's every time I come to download a file, view a picture, post a comment, it becomes tiresome.
I supose that you always click the "remember me" button right?
Strange issue, I never had that on my Opera browser...
Just enable "remember me" button on your browser, then try again.
Remember me won't work; I don't keep a persistent cache (even for cookies).
I understand why a bank would have a session timeout measured in minutes, but a mobile phone forum? Seems like overkill...!
if you have firefox you could try password manager addons (i use sxipper)
most have autologon features (i think)

I agree with you totally. I've never seen this on any site apart from sites where cash transactions are involved. Why do we have to get auto logged out. It's so annoying

+1 Sooo annoying!
Noob either use cookies or stop QQing
Nothing to do with cookies. I have cookies enabled and get logged out while sitting here on the site. Like the OP said, I open a new tab and look around for a min on another site. Then go back to the xda tab and am frequently logged out. I am using Firefox also. And the fact that this is the only site that it happens on tells me its something on the site, not our settings. I frequent a good number of forums, and it doesn't happen elsewhere.
BUMP! This is still a problem, even when I check "Remember me".
What's the big idea? Why isn't this configurable? Not even 10 minutes and I'm logged out - I can barely make a full post without have to log in twice.
My new habit of copying everything I just wrote to the clipboard before posting, on top of being tedious, really shouldn't be necessary.
Stop using Internet Explorer, update Firefox, enable cookies, don't try to be a security freak using programs like CCcleaner often. Haven't had that problem on my mac with chrome, but I do have it happen on my computer at school, but that's because all of the settings are cleared every time I log off.
I'm thinking that site owners don't care that this behaviour annoys people, which is a shame - as it's profoundly irritating!
Another site I use a lot, which used to leave you logged in, has just started to do this too. Does it save on server load or something?
Didntt ever happen with me, and i use different versions of chrome on various platforms, alongwith firefox, am logged in always
on my dreambox for some reason the user or password has been changed from default and i cant figure it out.

Yes, it reduces the size of the session table, keeping the site a little faster.
It's a necessary evil unfortunately. Why not allow the single cookie storing session and the "remember me" password hash?
Am pissed off with this too...
I use ie9 and firefox (latest) with default settings. The site logs me off in a few mins.
Never happened to me in the past.. and am a regular user.
I use remember password too but still annoying.
Same problem here on latest chrome. Though it is not so much frequent.
Has anyone else this problem, where only part of an image is shown because it's loaded in full resolution? For me it's happening in Tumblr, several twitter clients, and Facebook in Chrome.
Sent from my Nexus 6
Happens
Happens to me sometimes in Chrome. I think it's something that only occurs when the pic is set like a pop up or new tab image. It does not happen everywhere which leads me to believe its an html glitch on the page that is outdated and needs revision. Have you asked other's at the site you are visiting if they are seeing this as well on their mobile? device?
happens to me on the mobile facebook page (i refuse to install facebooks crappy app that no longer lets me sort by most recent as a default). if i reload the page, it works fine, but it's a little annoyance.
app+facebook manager

Facebook's page manager along with their app should let you have that functionality. Try it.
still means i'm supporting their horrible business model.
Hello everyone,
I've had a Nexus 6 for about a month now and I'm running into this same problem, whether it be an email link or a link on Twitter:
I keep getting a "This webpage is not available... ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED" page upon clicking various links.
This seems to be happening more and more lately. I know the odds of every single one of these links being down or broken are slim to none.
At first I thought it could be my AdAware software wreaking havoc on the link itself, and thus shutting me down from viewing it. But after uninstalling the AdAware, I'm still getting these down webpages. So that rules out the AdAware aspect.
I seem to get these A LOT on Twitter. Someone will post a link, whether it be a website, video, picture, etc..... and I click the link and I get this same message.
I should also mention I bought my Mom a 64GB unlocked Nexus 6 from Amazon (same place where I got mine), I unlocked it, rooted it and we're both running stock 5.0.1 for the time being, until I throw 5.1 stock on ours for the voice and data simultaneous capabilities.
Any help with this matter would be appreciated, as I'm at my witts end regarding why these damn links keep saying unavailable.
I should mention, the latest link was from a job site called ziprecruiter.com, care of monster.com job postings. She tried to open one of the job links in her GMail and it gives her the screenshot I posted. I tried every job link and the same result. However, when I open the job links via a web browser on my MacBook, each link works perfectly. I also included the details screenshot of the webpage.
Thanks everyone!
Anyone?
It's your modified hosts file. Reinstall adaware and use the restore hosts file option. If you want to keep using adaware, you can also add the sites being blocked to your white lists in adaware so that it will not add them to your hosts file. It's blocking referral and redirecting links most likely.

I tried doing what you said, but was unable to get it to work.
Any tips on this?
I'm still getting this same error page on my Nexus 6, as well as my Mom.
I can't for the life of me figure out how to get this to go away.
Her problem is with random emails from websites she shops at, such as fanatics.com
She'll open the email on her phone, click one of the sales items and that damn page shows up every time. I uninstalled Ad Away and rebooted, and it's still having the same problem.
If you or anyone else could PLEASE help me out with this, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks-

Have you tried clearing the browsers cache in /settings/apps/ or clearing the cache in recovery, that may help. No problem for me to open this site, btw stock not rooted.

Thanks for the reply.
I FINALLY figured it out.
Had to reset the hosts file via the app and then reboot immediately. For some reason I didn't reboot before and the host files didn't go back to stock.
Even if you uninstall Ad Aware, the host files remain unchanged and thus the problem persists.
I reverted back to stock host files for now and the links are working.
I have to learn how to add sites to the whitelist in order to attain full functionality of Ad Aware.
That is very common with Twitter and the ad blocker as mentioned. I get it every time. But it is some safety feature seeing the modified hosts file. For me it isn't that it is blocked...just hitting refresh fixes it, every time for me.

Are you talking about refreshing via the Ad Away app itself, or the twitter link itself?
I can't get certain Twitter links to work, unless I shut off my Ad Away and go back to default host files.
Adaway rocks. Have never had a problem.

I use Tweetcaster, which launches 'Readability' for its external links....It's a scaled down browser that ripps out ads and pics. I hit refresh in it and its good....or I can hit Readability's menu and open in browser and its good.
So that tells me Ad Away is blocking the original Twitter URL, then Readability refreshes using the real target URL. I will dig into this, should be any easy whitelist ro add.

Thanks for the info.
Maybe I'll give Tweetcaster another try, it just wasn't as easy on the eyes for me vs regular Twitter app.
If I could only figure out this whitelist thing, I could put this all behind me.
I have my original host files in tact right now and and everything is working, but I'm not blocking ads.

A Korean news propagating site, Naver.com.
I figured it's spam but was thrown off by the vibrating. Never seen that before.
I've noticed in the last few weeks spam/malware sites have started to use vibration.. Just ignore it.
I get sometimes on xda portal too. There is no antivirus or anything to stop. I finally add a line in host file to redirect itt-edu.us web site to 0.0.0.0. For now it stopped redirecting me to ad websites. It happens on wifi and the data too. I read some topics about it. All of them tells router is the problem
