and when you reopen chrome it says it didnt close properly and would you like to restore all previously open pages

So does Firefox but it has been crashing constantly on me since the latest updates.
I'm using Chrome for the last few days and it seems to be going alright.

Google Chrome currently uses the fastest of all JS engines (chrome v8) which means sites with dynamic content (most modern sites nowadays) will render faster than IE or FF.

I love Google chrome.

I heart google chrome too.

anyone use safari? i think its better than both ff and ie but have never used google chrome

I stopped uasing IE ages ago. Its useless and crashed far too much. Was recommended Crome but never had a crash. Use Firefox mainly, both these were recommended to me by family.Only thing is they do not offer a spell cheker as Ie which I wish, especialy when I type fast, which I did just then and had to go back.

It's just that the Chrome browser is a bit unfriendly looking. Not as comfy as Firefox.

I like that feature too, although not so good when you have been looking at things you'd rather others didn't know you had been looking at

I usually use fire fox and have just realised I have chrome - my son must have installed it for me, I haven't?

Oh that's good to know, as I usually buy from M&S and Debs and other clothes sites hubby doesn't know about - he goes on about me having too many clothes etc, true but my spending is necessary. Can't you clear 'all history'? If so how?

My pooter sed i have Chrome already installed but if i want it as a "USer Version" i have to uninstall the pooter's version


And gave me a list of instructions - oh dear , nothing's ever straight forward

Jackson, can you help me at all then? I had chrome on my laptop but had problems with pop-ups......it blocked everything and wouldn't let me un-block them....????

Do you know how to resolve this? It's a bugger when I've ordered something online and gone to the checkout only to be blocked...help as I prefer chrome to any other browser.....

....also, when i removed it, i tried to re-install firefox, but it wouldn't let me as there was still 'something' left of chrome on my laptop, said something along the lines of contacting the adminstrator....I'm now using IE8 at home, which I must admit is much faster thatn IE7...can you help??

I used GC cos I haven't been able pick up mail from Hotmail from FF or IE for the last year.

Also when sites are slow, such as here or Facebook, GC is much faster.

Reason why I don't use as it my browser, it doesn't support king.com where I play word games.

Also I have Admuncher on my laptop, blocks ads from all sites except GC. Strange.

There probably is away of doing it on chrome itself, but I don't know what it is, I'll have a look and let you know if I find anything. Whenever I run my C-Cleaner it cleans my web history off chrome.

Can anyone answer my question about un-blocking popuos??

Click on tools and clear browsing history.

On Chrome, there's a spanner icon in the right hand corner. Drop that and you'll see options for deleting browsing data.

Also, I discovered TODAY they have an 'incognito window' which doesn't record anything.

Thanks Cinds and 'Devil' I have my own computer and laptop etc but the less hubby finds out about my clothes purchases the better - then there's itunes - Oh God, give me an 'idiots' guide' to it please. I mean 'step by step'' I rely on my son too much and he's a computer programmer/technician who would suss me out in a sec! (He was the youngest technician ever employed by PC W**** in the country for his age ) and now he travels the world on/off setting up phone lines and writing programmes for Nokia etc - so I'm needing the idiots guide, believe me. I can blackmail him against shopping tho' ut the more I know myself the better! (He used to work around the school's IT guy too and by pass his codes!)

Firefox has a spell checker built in.

Go to the tools menu at the top of the screen, click options, then click the tab that says advanced, four more tabs should appear, go to the one that says general, and you should see a section called browsing, and click the box next to where it says check my spelling as I type, click ok, and hey presto, you have spell checker.

Sounds like your system as a network problem if all browsers keep crashing. Alternatively you have a virus on your system which could be crashing your browser.

I'd update your system promptly with windows updates and up date AV software and scan.

All the best

someone asked about pop ups on chrome, when a popup occurs chrome opens a little marker in the bottom right of your screen that says "popups blocked" then a number, click on that and it will open the popup windows (or close it).

chrome does have a spell checker its just not a nazi about it, misspell a word and it'll put a little red line under it to let you know there might be a problem, to correct it just move your mouse over the word and right click it will show you the spelling options, it will also allow you to add the current word to its dictionary in case its something that it doesnt know.

to go incognito in chrome just click on the spanner icon and select open new incognito window, what happens in the incognito window stays in the incognito window

devil? i have no idea how to
do the pop ups thing on chrome, sorry

i uninstalled adobe flash and reinstalled it , now (fingers crossed) i don't seem to be crashing

Judging by this thread I seem to be the only one who uses IE and never crashes I got it on my desktop and lappy.

Now there's an invitation for fate to intervene

I've got Google Chrome not tried it because i've also got IE which I use most of the time and it's so quick so I could go between the two if I wanted .

I have tried loads of things, but i may re-install it and try again as I have IE8 to fall back on...I always used to have problems with IE, but it's running great for me now! *touches wood*
