Google Chrome (FINAL)

[vDD+wR]

some new news about CHrome:

it seems like that CHrome has even gotten more pupular since the issue with the privacy appeared.
it even left opera (2.17%) behind (with 6.23%) when it comes to the comparison of the number of users accessing webpages with one of the browsers.

the statistic: after

Source: Google Analytics Now Tracks Chrome. Our Share: 6.23%

also interesting is the chart that was taken two days before the 2nd where it can be seen that the amount of IE users went back in the same time as CHrome was released. (with almost the same percentage)

the statistic:before

Thanks for your update!

As you've said before, Google's new browser is already rocking a little. Must have been its revolutionary new and fast engine/features that led to it, plus all the privacy invasion, unique ID, tracking "drama" that started just after a few days it was released, in my opinion.

Although it could outnumber Opera -which has been around for years- in popularity, in just a few weeks. That's to be respected...

It has a big name everybody recognises so thats mainly the reason...Opera is still my favourite, I just dont like a browser from a big information-kraken like google.
(same goes for M$-products, so Im not just a google-basher...)

[anon]

Thanks for sharing your opinion, too.

You're right about Chrome being backed up by having the name of an Internet icon (Google) behind. I forgot to write that in my previous post - was in a rush when writing it, and also lost all of it because the computer I was working at wasn't working properly, so I had to re-do it once again...

I'm staying with Opera too, hehe

@anon: yeah you are kinda right...it seems that people loved using that browser since a well known trade mark such as "Google" is injected in the "About Chrome" window which actually sux since a great firm as Google shouldn't have made such a lousey browser in the first place just to monitor users movements...still I guess I'm happy with my FireFox

[anon]

Well, that's right. The browser's also called Google Chrome.

And they finance Firefox for that matter But have stated Chrome won't "interrupt" with their FF funding or something like that. Good to know

[Aurion]

hehe,yeah I guess franchising or retail selling & promotion is a one sided approach that cann't be over mixed with other products...to be simple,one product is way different than another regarding features,functions,quality assurance & integreity which eventually lead to customer satisfaction...

[anon]

A move from Google leading to customer satisfaction would be removing all call-homes in the official version

[Aurion]

yeah...but we all know that won't happen any time soon since,I guess the folks over Google love that silly Idea very much..still more promising stable less buggy versions are to come soon

[anon]

That's true, it's not likely to happen.

In the meantime we'll have to count with SRWare to always update their Iron to the latest codebase; that sounds like they'll soon have lots of pressure on them with each update, as Iron gains more exposure...

[Aurion]

That's why more & more Chrome users will notice how bad they got themselves into when they decided to depend on such a LAME browser...

[anon]

The browser isn't lame. The privacy intrusion is ^^
Iron all the way...

[Aurion]

nah,for me it is...I didn't like the main frames,browsing engine at all...sounds a bit Rockie Still it got lots of credits tho since it's release date

Iron update!!

as it said in the article Stefan Ries updated recently his version of Googles Chrome Browser, called Iron by integrating an ads-blocker.
With that Stefan Ries reacted on the user wishes, which mostly hinted at a missing function to supress advertisment on websites.
So, Iron is one step ahead of Chrome again by implementing an adblock function.
The filterlist can be found here: http://www.srware.net/downloads/adblock.ini and is applied by simply putting the .ini file into Irons root directory.
(but be aware that adblock works with the updated version of Iron only )

as always, the source : SRWare.net • Thema anzeigen - Neu: Werbe-Blocker in Iron integriert

the updated portable version can be found here: http://www.srware.net/downloads/IronPortable.zip

So officially we have an Ad-Blocker root file that would perfeclty suit Chrome...isn't it obvious that Google didn't even try to do something good for the users by at least stealing the idea of Iron & implementing it into a newer updated version so that users feel that there is a follow up done by Google's team regarding the same problems users already reported for before...
