I missed the Home button too. But you can bring it back if you want it. Click on the wrench-looking button in the upper right and choose Options from the list. In the window that opens up, there’s a Basic tab where you can check a box that will restore the Home button.

In that same Options menu, you can also set what page you’ll see when Chrome opens. So, if you don’t like the most frequent site thing, you can have Chrome automatically open up two or three (or more) sites.

I hope that helps!

Suzanne, Glad you are enjoying your new browser. Right, there is not really a ‘Home’ button, it was excused for space. Every time you open a blank new tab, it should have this home page. Use keyboard shortcut CTRL+T and you should have your main page.

The links on the main page are determined by what you browse to most often, so they will change daily until the browser recognizes the sites you use most. Otherwise, if you visit those Google features frequently, you might try setting up an iGoogle page which could feature all of those. Go to http://www.igoogle.com to try it out.

I downloaded Google Chrome on my staff computer and I do like it — in some ways. My 2 biggest complaints are : 1. There is no Button to take me back to the Google Chrome main page if I go surfing off the main page instead of making tabs. I hit the Back button a few zillion times but it never went all the back to the main page. I had to close it and re-open it. Did I miss something?

2. There are no links to Google Images, Gmail, or Groups on the main page.

It is mighty speedy though.

It sounds like you allowed Chrome to set itself as the primary browser on your computer. IE should prompt you to change it back the next time you opens it. If not, try this:

Open Internet Explorer
Under Tools, click Internet Options.
Click the Programs tab.
Under ‘Default Web Browser’ click ‘Make Default’
Click OK

It is no longer listed on my favorites in Internet Explorer. My web mail shortcut has the Chrome Symbol now also. I’ve also noticed that if you look up your e-mail on this computer, it comes up with the Chrome page behind it. There isn’t a print option when this happens.

Esther – Eeek! I’ll try to help.

Downloading Chrome shouldn’t affect any other program or the settings of any other browser. when you look at the Intranet in Internet Explorer does it look the same?

Help! Once Google Chrome was downloaded onto my work computer, it changed the look of all the e-mail and Intranet applications on that computer. Was this supposed to happen?!

Chrome has become my default browser at home. Once too often, I had probably 8 tabs open in Firefox when one died. I made the mistake of letting it try to reopen my tabs when it restarted, then nearly threw my laptop across the room when the same thing happened. I love the screen shots from my most-visited pages on Chrome, I love the speed, and above all I love the stability!
