Google Chrome v 0.4.154.33 fixes Hotmail woes?

SADLY IT DOESN'T WORK FOR ME!
Does it work for anyone?
After you update the ShortCut, the hotmail live.com javascript fails to run and a message can't be opened and the menu doesn't accept clicks.
Take out the browser declaration and the javascript runs but the message box is still disabled.
One other thing about this posting on ChromePlugins that reeks of a HOAX. The current Google is up to date message is version 1.0.154.36. so is 0.4.154.33 a type O!


When software is Beta, it's usually buggy! This one drove the Hotmail masses mad, if they tried to early adopt. The Hotmail Vs Chrome saga may have come to an end, as some sources. ie. ChromePlugins and Google Chrome Releases are reporting the glitch as fixed in an upcoming Dev Release.






Complete List of Changes in 0.4.154.33 reported by ChromePlugins

r6148 - This allows the Google desktop Links to be lauched in Google Chrome as the default web browser.

r6421 - It fixes the crash many users were getting while trying to open the Chrome Options Dialog box or any other sub-menu under Windows XP 65-bit.

r6464 - This changes the accelerator keys for the Javascript Debugger from ALT+VK_OEM_3 to Ctrl+Shift+L and for the Javascript Console to Ctrl+Shift+J. This was done in order to support a standard keyboard settings in all languages.

r6467 - Fixes the issue with displaying the unicode characters in some fonts such as the plane-1 characters which were not being displayed correctly earlier.

r6482 - It fixes the issue while composing mails and switching between folders in Hotmail. Since Hotmail still does not quite properly recognise Chrome, so to use the site with minimum bugs with hotmail you have to add the following code to the Google Chrome Shortcut you use to launch Google Chrome.
--user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/525.19 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.1 Safari/525.19"
Steps:
Right Click on the Google Chrome Shortcut
Click on Properties
Copy-Paste the above code at the end of the Target File and click OK.

r6492 - Fixes the untranslated “Text zoom” Menu while switching the Chrome Language to any of the localised language

                

Grrrrr..Hotmail vs Chrome.. Another lost battle

Okay.. Yes Chrome is new.. and now so is Windows Live Hotmail. Seriously the unsupported message. Really means unsupported now. Maybe it's just my operating system configurations, and that I feel the need to actually reply to e-mails, but not being able to use the text area in the compose email page, makes using chrome and live hotmail, pretty much. Impossible.

Do you have the same issue, is there a fix. Let us know, we'll post to the minions of chromites.

                

After a few days working with Chrome, hits and misses.

Four days of Chrome. Needs a little polish, but has potential.


Googles Chrome is beta, and beta means (unfinished), but after a few days of using Chrome, it wanted to shine. And at times it did.

• Reporting sites that heavily used java to display, where screaming fast compared to IE7 and FireFox.


• I just loved the fact that i could uncouple the tabs from one Chrome application process to a new process and then reintegrate the two. Just drag the tab off into a clear desktop area, it's that simple.


• Incognito is a great idea, Great for Banking sites and places you want to make sure your internet tracks don't get left hanging around.


• The Super Omnibar (Address and Search combined) Made moving around my address navigating simple and easy to use, with my bookmarks showing stars as I typed away. What it does is language match what your typing. Try two words or more for searches as they pattern match googles keywords with higher success than singles. Sites match as you type the domain names.

• Easy access to clearing browsing data, just under the tool wrench is handy


• I actually find the thumbnails really handy, and with them showing on any new tab creation, it was super fast to load up all my sites.


• Application shortcuts on the desktop are great for applications i want to make sure I've closed after use. Also they start in it's own process.


• The downloading engine, different as it is was a little more responsive

Now I don't like a couple of things,

• The fact that any site that has cert issues, screams the red wall of google warning.


• Hotmail makes me click the continue using unsupported browser link


• Saving password are open to anyone walking by an unlocked computer within a few clicks and the don't submit the form on use in some cases that all worked great with my SSO integrated with IE.


• For all the bloggers out there, drag scrolling isn't working. When you try to scroll in a text box by draging to the bottom of the window and have the rich edit control scroll, well it doesn't.
• Rendering isn't 100% as the example is from this site, the two link lists (blogger widgets) have no style float attribute but are acting like they do.

Overall this has potential, it's a pretty great first version release, with some cool new ideas, different takes on older ones, and polishing others. Now fit in some way to integrate some Firefox tools than it's going to rock the browser world.

                

Google's Chrome vs Hotmail - Fails Browser Supported

 As with any new browser, Microsoft spits out it's not supported message. When navigating to the Hotmail live page using Chrome you recieve the upgrade your web browser message, with the top three players being supported shown. You can continue on using the link provided underneath the other browsers and everything works as expected over in Microsoft Live land. Maybe the folks at Google should send a few happy smiles MS's way and get rid of that evil "your not worthy message".

Our first response to the NEW browser on the block!

• Okay so you decide to give it a try. Well I haven't decided if it's better or worse than IE 7 or FireFox.. but what I like is that it pulled my IE favs. Wish it asked me if I wanted to pull my Firefox ones.
• The rendering isn't as fast as I'd of hoped. Firefox does a better job on this front.
• Flash support seems to be seamless with the current install.
• Passwords saved from IE will import into the Google password list.
• One box for the address bar and get suggestions for both search and web pages is pretty.
• Thumbnails of your top sites shows up when you open a new tab
• Shortcuts for your apps to get desktop shortcuts to launch your favorite web applications.

Here is the info from inside Chrome about Incognito:

You've gone incognito. Pages you view in this window won't appear in your browser history or search history, and they won't leave other traces, like cookies, on your computer after you close the incognito window. Any files you download or bookmarks you create will be preserved, however. Going incognito doesn't affect the behavior of other people, servers, or software. Be wary of:
Websites that collect or share information about you
Internet service providers or employers that track the pages you visit
Malicious software that tracks your keystrokes in exchange for free smileys
Surveillance by secret agents
People standing behind you
