I thought you may want to know that after over one month, I was able to get Google Chrome going. I imported the setting from Firefox.
Yes, it works. Yes, to loads faster than Firefox. It is enormous. 192 MB and growing. 166MB of the app alone. The rest the profile. I had a wild time finding it, but it is in

C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome

The last time I tried, I could not enter the location quote. I hope that it works, with five keyboard spaces between the
two quotes. It seems to want to place what I want to enter, wherever it wants.
So far, I have had no luck getting any extention. It wants an username and password, but it does not like anything.
On top of it I cannot seem to able to get the weird antispam letters right.
I will try again, but there a lot that I don't like about Chrome. I know that they want to make things speedy, but why not give the option to see a menu toolbar? Why do I have to keep the tabs on top?

It's probably not the browser for you, Fulvio. I love it and it's now my default. All of the things you listed as not liking (i.e. tabs on top, no menu bar) are things that I love. I don't want nor need a menu bar; just gets in the way. Tabs on top make perfect sense. That's the way tabs on file folders look, not upside down. I love the search bar doubling as the address bar. My extensions all work (i.e. WOT, Adblock Plus, Lastpass, Extension Mgr, Facebook Photozoom, Smooth Scroll and Invisible Hand). Chrome is fast, secure and gives a minimalist view. I don't want several tool bars on top of my screen and Chrome is perfect that way. Plus... I haven't found a page yet that Chrome won't load and display properly.

My Chrome seems to have settled down, and was able to install a few extentions, with no fuss.
I think that Chrome sensed that I was not going to like, and so it fought me tooth and nail.
Anyway, Chrome does not know how stubborn I can be.
I don't mind it, and, actually Tabs on top make sense, but I don't like anyone to tell me that one less toolbar is good for me. Other people have not liked the lack of the option to have a Menu bar.

I hope you don't think that I'm telling you that, Fulvio. As I said, Chrome may not be the browser for you and that's okay. You have to go with what makes sense to you and works for you. I know others here do not like the minimalist look and that's fine with me. They're entitled to their opinions and I respect that. I happen to like fewer tool bars. It means more screen space for me and since I seldom ever need these bars (i.e. menu bar), I don't need them cluttering up my screen space.

Lin is very much like me in that regard: the less, the better. For her, she strips down IE 9 to its bare bones. Refuses to have anything but the tool bar at the top and that's it. She pins a few sites to her task bar and seems perfectly content to browse in that manner.

We're all different, eh?! Take care.
