Buzz off :P

Least we know what the other 2 do, this one is unknown at the moment, and was phoning home every 10 minutes on my machine for updates, which, to me, is unacceptable.
The worst part is however, that it was sometimes launching 2 or 3 of them. Unacceptable IMO. (and most probably yours too, now you know what I mean :) )

Oh, and windows update and Firefox update can both be switched off, this one can't be to my knowledge. (Without deleting the file)

I uninstalled it on my machine thought it took most off the memory

re: Google Launches Internet Browser - Chrome
 

Really? I thought the opposite. It doesn't take much up on my machine - same on the PC as well.

Wondering when the FF V Chrome threads will proliferate....


Ohh silly me, this is one already... ;)

re: Google Launches Internet Browser - Chrome
 

Oh :erm: well it took about 20 minutes to load my computer and usually it takes 2-3 minutes so i thought i'd unistall it Oh well

Personally I'd rather have up-to-date protection, but whatever your preferences I guess.

re: Google Launches Internet Browser - Chrome
 

Come off it mate, of course we like upto date things, but windows doesn't check every 10 minutes, and nor does Firefox... That's just excessive ;)

Yeah Comodo would be driving me demented over that...and just for a browser.The only application I would want to update that often would be my AV and only because there was a threat...:erm:

Funnily enough using Chrome for a few days has made me seek out other browsers and I have to say I'm quite impressed with Safari, it's now my default :)

(cue a smug comment from Chris T ;))

Oi! I'm not an Apple fanboy. :p:

Actually I use FF3 on my Mac, Safari's a very nice, clean, fast browser, but you just can't tweak it the way you can tweak the Fox. :D

re: Google Launches Internet Browser - Chrome
 

Well it's not too bad, I love the way the favourites on the bar swish about when you drag them around :)
