Google Chrome

I have security and privacy issues with it

I can't use Betfair live video with it. I don't know if it's just me, does anyone else have this problem?

betfair video works with football for me but not horse racing

betfair video works with Chrome but not when its the ATR stream

Occasionally it gives me the wrong figures on the "what if" feature when greening up or moving money aroung on a market.

same here, flatliner.. some weird figs when greening up!

For me it can be slow navigating markets. But I have to use it at the moment because I have a big prob with Firefox. It just hangs and says "Loading" without ever loading the site. Reinstalling and removing plug-ins hasn't solved it either.

Glad it wasn,t only me then, very scarey, didn,t know if it was calculating it wrong or putting in a wrong bet which could have been dire.

Works great for Horse Racing on mine , don't follow soccer so not tried that.

Works for me quite well

Not 100% perfect for me by any means, but better than Firefox has been lately

very happy with chrome

noticably faster than IE or firefox

anyone else having a problem w the what if situation? it give figures for the bet you are about to place rather the overall results that you could be facing

Is this all the time? I have this problem sometimes, but it seems to be a betfair issue rather than a browser issue as the same happens when I load it in Chrome.

Firefox is definitely much better for Betfair than Explorer as far as I'm concerned.
As for Chrome, it is much faster but doesn't always work properly. I may switch when Betfair have optimized the site to work well in Chrome.

One HUGE advantage of Chrome is that each browser window is a separate process, so if one crashes the other browser windows will be fine. It also supports multicore processors, which firefox doesn't yet, this is a really important issue for me as the lack of this feature limits the amount of browser windows and tabs I can have open without the browser crashing.

I switched to Chrome from IE8 just this week out of necessity and must say I'm impressed with it so far and haven't had any problems.

IE8 has been a real pain. Works fine on my XP machine but constantly crashes on my new W7 64 bit lap top.Virtually unusable to tell you the truth.

It works ok for a while until I have 3 or 4 tabs open and then I get the ''not responding' message.
No spyware or viruses and MSE running all the time.

I've googled it and it seems others are having the same problem with some recommending disabling add-ons and then re-enabling one by one in order to isolate the cause of the problem.

Can't be bothered with all that tbh hence the move to Chrome.

Have any of you encountered the same problem?.

much faster but the inability to perform properly on betfair live video is annoying

Only problem with Chrome is that you can't print selection!

Can someone tell me how you store and recall favourites with Chrom?

every time I have to type in the web address. For me it is the only browser that properly refreshes the betfair forum. IE never seems to.

theres a symbol of a spanner on the top RHS of the 'Google Chrome' page. there you can manage your folders etc for quick access.

you mention that CHROME refreshes the forum pages. are you sure about that? thats what i need but cant find the solution. could you please explain how you automatically get the page to refresh? thnx

I had a virus called ave.exe which has screwed me over. Now firefox just says "Loading" when you start it off. And then just continues saying "Loading". You have to stop the page loading then refresh it and then you get to yahoo say. But in betfair it hangs loading "My Account" or individual markets. Pretty much unusable. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling but get the same problem. All add-ons are disabled. Even in firefox safe mode it's the same problem. All virus checkers report no problems. But I can't use IE because it logs me out every 2 minutes. Sometimes I get so frustrated my skin turns green and my muscles bulge and my shirt starts fraying. Then I shout "AAArghhhh!!!". But I don't hit anybody. Not like the incredible hulk. More the Credible hulk. If I could put my fist through the screen and just cause it to feel pain without damaging the hardware I would!
