Vista - Google Launch Browser - Chrome

Really? I have Flash player working. Fox News Live and standard videos work as well as CNN standard videos (CNN Live Video does not work). I'm watching a video at CNN right now and when I right click on it it says "About Adobe Flash Player 9..."

I installed the Flash plugin for Firefox with no problem.

BBC site & player work fine for me

I am listening and watching bbc live right now - see attachment

Unfortunately, those of us outside the UK can't watch...we get "Sorry, this media is not available in your territory".

I've stuck with IE most of the time now. Was never really interested in getting Firefox, but I wanted to give this a try, and I like it. Was having trouble watching things with flash player, though, but once I get that working then I think I'll be using it as my default browser.

But at least it proves that the flash player does work.

I prefer IE7, and like Firefox 3, as long as I don't use the default skin. Not too keen on Chrome thus far, but it's early days yet.

I have just read this and would recommend everybody interested in Chrome reads it.

Google Chrome vulnerable to carpet-bombing flaw | Zero Day | ZDNet.com


Google’s shiny new Web browser is vulnerable to a carpet-bombing vulnerability that could expose Windows users to malicious hacker attacks.

Just hours after the release of Google Chrome, researcher Aviv Raff discovered that he could combine two vulnerabilities — a flaw in Apple Safari (WebKit) and a Java bug discussed at this year’s Black Hat conference — to trick users into launching executables direct from the new browser.

Raff has cooked up a harmless demo of the attack in action, showing how a Google Chrome users can be lured into downloading and launching a JAR (Java Archive) file that gets executed without warning.

In the proof-of-concept, Raff’s code shows how a malicious hacker can use a clever social engineering lure — it requires two mouse clicks — to plant malware on Windows desktops.

The Google Chrome user-agent shows that Chrome is actually WebKit 525.13 (Safari 3.1), which is an outdated/vulnerable version of that browser.

Apple patched the carpet-bombing issue with Safari v3.1.2.

Some Google Chrome early adopters using Windows Vista are reporting that files downloaded from the Internet are automatically dropped on the desktop, setting up a scenario where a combo-attack using this unpatched IE flaw could be used in attacks.
