[edit] does not have basic language support

Should we mention that Chrome lacks basic language support (it does not display most state languages of India, not even Hindi and Bengali, for example), or am I missing something? — kwami (talk) 22:41, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

??? Chrome supports over 50 languages, including Hindi, Bengali, Chinese, Arabic, Georgian, Sinhala, Tamil, and more. Go to options > Under The Hood > Web Content > Languages and spell-checker settings > Add. You'll see a drop-down of all the available choices. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.39.187.3 (talk) 02:55, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Changing the Chrome screenshot

The main screenshot on this page displays Chrome running on ChromeOS with a custom theme, would it not be more helpful to use an image of it running the default theme? It's misleading since it suggests a very different UI (dark black instead of blue or transparent) to how most people experience Chrome. Owencm (talk) 14:19, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

I agree. By consensus we normally show default "vanilla" conditions so as to be as representative as possible. I will fix it. - Ahunt (talk) 15:38, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

[edit] optional tracking mechanisms

I would suggest to someone who is really into this article to do a small search on whether the optional tracking mechanisms are enable or disable by default. It would be an important information. See: [1]

Thanks for your attention. 186.221.83.129 (talk) 14:03, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Simplify release history?

The release history table is becoming rather long due to the pace of Chrome's release schedule. Perhaps this table could be simplified somehow? A collapsible table maybe? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dragonic2020 (talkcontribs) 16:43, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Privacy Issues ???

For a company that has a huge and long history of disregard for Public privacy, very little of it is addressed in this article. A web browser owned by google, were you are viwing information and going to different pages every nano second, yet know information on the article on how google handles these issues.

They are know for saving all your Google web searches for years, what about knowing about EVEY SINGLE WEB PAGE YOU CLICK ON. How is this addressed by Google?Starbwoy (talk) 20:08, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

It is already in the article, see Google Chrome#Usage tracking. If you think there are other issues to be included then just provide the references and they can be added. - Ahunt (talk) 20:17, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Acid3

I'm getting 97/100 on Chrome 17. Anybody else has this problem? --WKMN? Later [ Let's talk ] 21:11, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

I just ran said test and got 100/100. Maybe you have a conflicting extension installed? In any case, this is original research for both of us, and this probably isn't the best forum for a troubleshooting discussion. If you have a citation that shows your result is typical that would definitely be newsworthy and I'd love to hear about it. 151.190.0.1 (talk) 15:14, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
