Browser: Google Chrome (BETA)

[gimbras]

Funny: fui ao site do Hotmail e o site disse-me que deveria actualizar o meu browser... dando vários links para diferentes browsers onde o poderia fazer. Ainda n está lá o Chrome.

Mais uma cena, se por acaso abrirmos uma nova janela do Chrome temos sempre a opção de a voltar a transformar como uma TAB doutra janela previamente aberta. O q é óptimo para evitar termos 5 janelas e ficarmos numa confusão.

Enquanto não mudarem a licença não contem comigo pra o usar. Não vão usar os meus dados como bem lhes apetecer. Vão bisbilhotar a prima deles....

Mercy_PT: ora nem mais!

Não sei se fui o único mas desde ontem que, enqto tinha o Chrome ligado, o disco não parava de ler. Até pensei que fosse o WinUpdate, mas hoje voltou a acontecer o mmo, o disco n parava, e experimentei desligar o Chrome, e parou. Parecia que estava a copiar elevada quantidade de dados de um lado para o outro.

Se calhar andava a enviar a minha info para o Google.

Abri o Task Manager antes de voltar a ligar o Chrome e o CPU Usage estava em 4%, passou para 12%. Ao abri-lo fiquei com duas instâncias do Chrome, cada uma com 10.000 k de mem, isto sem nenhuma página aberta.
E um processo chamado GoogleUpdate.exe q seria o q tava a fazer o disco funcionar sem parar.

Bom, de volta ao FF.

Já o testei, gostei bastante da simplicidade, e foi bastante rápido nas primeiras vezes que o usei.. depois começou a aceder aos sites bastante lentamente, e ver filmes em Flash é para esquecer, bastante lento, para além que ás vezes bloqueia do nada. Do que vi só posso dizer isto, e fiquei a não gostar muito.

Google tweaks Chrome licence text

Google has rescinded an article of the user agreement for its new browser, Chrome, released on Tuesday.
The initial agreement claimed rights over "any Content which you submit, post or display on or through" the browser.

Google reworded the agreement on Wednesday, leaving those rights in the hands of Chrome's users.

A spokesperson for Google said its user agreements were re-used and the initial claim was an oversight.

The initial End User Licence Agreement (EULA) claimed "a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to reproduce, adapt, modify, translate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute any Content which you submit, post or display on or through, the Services."

Rebecca Ward, senior product counsel for Google Chrome, said the problem arose because Google re-uses swathes of its Universal Terms of Service across all its offerings "in order to keep things simple for our users".

"Sometimes, as in the case of Google Chrome, this means that the legal terms for a specific product may include terms that don't apply well to the use of that product," she said.

The amended article instead suggests that users "retain copyright and any other rights" that they already hold on the content they submit or display using the browser.

The situation echoes last year's controversy surrounding the EULA for Google Docs, its online word processing and spreadsheet programs. Google initially claimed similarly wide-ranging rights, but eventually reworded the agreement in response to users' concerns.

Assim já gosto mais.

Critical Vulnerability Patched in Google's Chrome

A Vietnamese security company has found a critical vulnerability in Google's new browser Chrome, but Google has already released patch for that problem and at least one more.

The vulnerability is one of several problems identified in the browser since it was released early last week. The bug is a buffer overflow that occurs if a user saves a Web page containing an overly long "title" tag, according to Bach Koa Internetwork Security (Bkis), based at the Hanoi Institute of Technology.

The browser can encounter a problem trying to save a file with the name contained in the overly long title tag. An attacker could then have control of the PC and could execute other code on the machine, Bkis wrote on its blog. The problem can be exploited on PCs running Windows XP SP2 and Chrome version 0.2.149.27.

Chrome users are advised to upgrade to the latest version. To do that, go to the wrench icon in the upper right hand corner of the browser and down to "About Google Chrome." The browser will then check for an update. If there is one, Chrome will download it and ask to restart. The up-to-date version is 0.2.149.29.

Although Google has been working on Chrome for two years, it still considers the browser a beta version. The company was using the browser internally among its employees for some time, but its surprise unveiling last week set the browser loose to the general public in more than two dozen languages.

Last week, researcher Aviv Raff wrote that Chrome had a vulnerability due to its use of an outdated version of WebKit web browser engine. The vulnerability is know as the "carpet bombing" flaw, which can cause Windows to download a potentially dangerous JAR (Java archive) and execute it without warning users. Google has also fixed that flaw, a company spokesman said Monday.

The second problem identified shortly after Chrome's release could allow hackers to force Chrome to crash. That vulnerability, found by security researcher Rishi Narang, could be exploited by constructing a malicious link of a certain format, according to Narang's advisory.
