Interesting blog! Interesting posts! And, even more interesting responses! Just a couple of observations... 1 - The distinction of being 'one of the first browsers with tabbed browsing belongs to Opera'...not Firefox as you mention! 2 - Plug-ins and other such stuff can wait...how about a few skins for Chrome? Oh...there are a few floating around but how about a few from Google? Say in navy blue or some such darker colour? BTW, did I say, I am thoroughly enjoying Chrome and your posts on the 'privacy' issue was - to say the least - comforting! Cheers! Hey…

Interesting blog! Interesting posts! And, even more interesting responses!

Just a couple of observations…

1 – The distinction of being ‘one of the first browsers with tabbed browsing belongs to Opera’…not Firefox as you mention!

2 – Plug-ins and other such stuff can wait…how about a few skins for Chrome? Oh…there are a few floating around but how about a few from Google? Say in navy blue or some such darker colour?

BTW, did I say, I am thoroughly enjoying Chrome and your posts on the ‘privacy’ issue was – to say the least – comforting!

Cheers!

Two more tests and procedure that worked. 1 - If you start in Windows Vista (SP1) "Safe mode with networking" You can then set Chrome to the Default browser. Restart Windows normal mode. Chrome then retains it's default browser status. 2 - By setting Chrome to the default browser before upgrading to SP1. Chrome will retain it's default status after SP1 is installed. Update: Default browser setting problem Vista SP1.

Two more tests and procedure that worked.

1 – If you start in Windows Vista (SP1) “Safe mode with networking”
You can then set Chrome to the Default browser. Restart Windows normal mode. Chrome then retains it’s default browser status.

2 – By setting Chrome to the default browser before upgrading to SP1.
Chrome will retain it’s default status after SP1 is installed.

Will it retain as such in future?" San Nayak, speed has been a top priority for Chrome, and I'd expect it to remain a high priority.

San Nayak, speed has been a top priority for Chrome, and I’d expect it to remain a high priority.

No toolbars or add-ons right now, panzermike.
