Beat Secure Site Problems in Google Chrome with a Nightly Build
Posted by Kevin Purdy at 10:30 PM on September 15, 2008
Users of Google's Chrome browser behind web proxies, and in other situations, often find that the browser can have a touchy relationship with secure connections (starting with https://) and SSL certificates in general. The Daily Gyan blog recommends a few potential fixes, including using a more up-to-date nightly build, which can be grabbed at the Chromium build page or using the previously posted Chrome Nightly Updater. Other suggestions include grabbing a portable version of Chrome or, if you're behind a Microsoft ISA proxy server, grabbing a client app to work through it.

i keep learning about more and more little advantages and features with Chrome, with privacy, for example; now if only they would take care of it's cookie management glitches...

I hope this is the fast and painless downfall of Chrome i've been looking for. I just feel Google is stretching and interfering with too many things at once, and that annoys me.
Stick with search engines, and let Firefox do it's 'thang'.

Competition is utterly important in the browser world.
It is the single most used app on the computer, yet it is free; so if there is no competition, it stagnates.
The bigger the player who joins the browser "wars", the faster the browser evolution.

"Aw, snap!"
More fad than anything else, Google Chrome isn't quite the Firefox killer that it was hoped to be - at least not yet. And now early adopters are saying, "Shyeah, no plugins, no adblock, and bugs."
Why bother with yet another browser not ready for prime time? If you wanted that, then download any version of Internet Exploder.

As with most things (IE excepted), Chrome will improve with age. My main concern with Google introducing Chrome is that it will become their browser of choice, and compatibility of Gmail, Google Apps, Google Maps, etc. with other browsers will take a back seat. What's next? A Google OS?

Geez, it's been out a couple of weeks and people are already announcing it dead? Give it some time people. It renders pages better and faster than IE and Firefox already, they can only go upward from here. I can see that it's already innovative with it's tabs and process usage, as well as some other shortcuts it offers. I use it and love it. -- -Michael Sansig
