If they could get the password synching working with android phones I might be tempted to change my browser to this

I would change from Firefox to Chrome, but I can't seem to make it delete my history everytime I close the browser or just not keep one at all :/

Why not use LastPass? It's so much better than any built in password manager I've ever used and surprisingly secure too.

I have over 50 passwords so a password manager is mandatory for me, at some point I'll go premium to use a Yubikey but that won't be any time soon.

That's very easy, go to Options> Under The bonnet> Privacy- Content Settings. You'll find everything you need in there.

As for Chrome 10, it's a welcomed improvement. Recently I moved away from the dev/beta channel due to a problem I had with some websites. The stable releases are almost as frequent as the beta channel ones between version 2 and 5 so I am happy with how up to date the browser is.

how long until we have chrome version 100? why cant they slowdown with the version numbers and use 10.1 10.2 etc.

btw does chrome still install lots of google stuff that always runs in the background and isnt removed when you uninstall chrome?

Interesting question, often those things are hidden, and for me I've never bothered looking for them. When I look in my processes I find that each instance of chrome is for one of the extensions I installed so all accounted for. I'm not sure what else to be looking for, anything as an option during install I deselect- so no toolbar or promotions for me.

Do you know of some examples of "google stuff" I could look for on my PC?

there should be a scheduled task and google updater thats all i can remember atm.
I would have a quick search for other stuff that may run all the time but my internet is playing up today.

Just after emerging chromium 10 there. I preferred the old settings dialog over the new web form one tbh. js is snappier, but other than that, meh. Same ole.
