    I think that feature is great. Since I have a bookmark tool bar I think it's better than speedial if Firefox.


    In GC the address box is empty, what's the problem?

    no but i have alot of wholesale web sites as well as ebay etc i check prices on and things like that. i dont want those opening while im discussing a whole system to a client. imo i just think it looks unprofessional that way. i just want a new blank page to open or i guess maybe a new home page but even that id rather have open to a blank page..

    i also wonder why does chrome install to the users directory instead of the programs.. i maybe missed it but i dont remember seeing a place to install it as a option?? i jut wonder why they install it to a normally hidden folder. of course i unhide that one but still most people dont....

    in starting to learn all the switches..

    i also hate the download bar. i wish it actually was a small window like ff so i can shrink it down. an i also hate that it doesnt let you remove downloads from the list after they are done automatically. while testing it i see they just keep stacking up in the list and i can even seem to select all and remoce them i have to do it one at a time?? whats that about??

    okay well not what i wanted totally but it works for me. right click the bookmark bar, choose add page. in the name bar type New Tab, in the url bar type About:Blank highlight the bookmark bar folder then click okay. now when you click on that bookmark use cntrl and click it you get a new blank tab
