    interesting new version of chrome to check out.. not from google

    Currently, ChromePlus has 5 extra features:
    1. Double click tab to close page.
    2. Mouse Gestures
    3. Super drag
    4. IE tab
    5. Download tools supported in context menu.

    very nice. i like this a lot actually it seems faster than chrome does... has some really nice features. imo this is closer to what chrome should be.. the ie tab is sweet

    LOVE this.. its fantastic. the ie tab is simply awesome, FULLY working mouse gestures without added things its built in, you can clear anything on exit, with the download tools supported with right click.. the only thing missing is adblock which i have read they are working on!!!!!

    and unlike iron this has a auto update feature! love that.

    i just hope they keep it updated unlike srware iron. iron sucks for updates. now im all for chrome itself but why has google not worked to add stuff like this YET to chrome. i mean imo these are basic things that would make a lot of people dump even firefox (like me) if they simply would add them. google should SERIOUSLY take note of this stuff and get moving adding what people want to chrome... yes they update often but dont add a whole lot with each. imo chromeplus with the added features is far ahead of chrome now on my list of what i will use daily

    one thing i find though is (now this may be because chrome is actually installed and chromeplus is running from my second hdd as a portable app) with peacekeeper i get about HALF the score with chromeplus as i do with actual chrome.. not sure yet why

    Great post. Didn't know such an app.
    With the convenient IE tab I can finally forget IE now.

    Why the home page is in English while the forum is in Chinese :confused:

    Says in the OP its not from google. It is probably just based on chromium (open source) just like google.

    You could try AdSweep. It's pretty decent. But google ad's aren't blocked properly. Dont know why.
