What an amazingly strong argument.

@Dave:

“…but the Chrome Installer itself keeps crashing”??

Dave, either you are really stupid, or you are really smart…
Okay, on a second thought, you are really stupid. You don’t deserve to be a blogger.

@Peter

These are based on user reports, some of which are echoed multiple times. The Gmail workaround is posted in numerous Google help forums.

I tried to verify them each independently, but the Chrome Installer itself keeps crashing.

I concur, Is the Toolbar that brings a lot of the features to IE and Firefox really necessary for a browser that utilizes the feature set already? I was always under the impression that the toolbar is for people that do not want to use Chrome still having some of the Google features.
Also the toolbar would be a slap in the face for a browser that prides itself on its minimalism and lack of overhead (literally)

As a Chromium developer, a lot of these reports were news to me. I tested the Google Analytics item and found it was working fine. I also have never seen (or heard of) problems staying signed into Gmail.

In general these reports mostly seem to be many months old, and not backed up by other user reports. Did you do any verification of any of these “problems”?
