Google Chrome woes

Just installed Chrome. Can't get any links from emails to work in Chrome when set as
default, although they work fine in Firefox or IE.

When in Chrome, if I type a line for a search, like 'email links do not work in
Chrome', it just churns but never gives results.

Ideas out there?

You might need to supply chrome with your full name and social security
number to log in.

You probably realize that Chrome does not have an email client. You
would have to use "webmail" for whatever internet server you have using
Chrome as the browser.

The whole "Google" thing confuses me sometimes.

I use MS Outlook for email. Many times email will have links. Normally, clicking on
the link will open the default browser to the correct page. With Chrome set as the
default browser, when I click on a link Chrome opens, churns for a couple minutes,
the displays an 'Unresponsive Page' window. As soon as I change the default browser
to either IE or Firefox, the links open just fine.

Ah .. I misunderstood your issue and question. I don't use Chrome, so
I can't help. One thing about anything Google though, it seems like you
have to be signed in with your Google account user name and password in
order for stuff to work. I don't bother with most of it. Firefox
works just fine for me and I use it's email client Thunderbird for
emails and newsgroups.

Why didn't you just inject yourself with the ebola virus?
Google is evil. The NSA has nothing on them.
