Google Chrome download is not working [updated]
Comments: Subscribe to the comments for this post
i’m all abuzz about the new google browser since it was announced leaked a day ago. i read the comic. very impressive. my only concern is throughout the offical announcement blog, there was no mention about web standards. i mean it has taken us absolutely forever to come to where we actually have a set of browsers that kinda work together and kinda adhear to w3c web standards on html and css. now we have chrome talking about applications and rendering engines etc… all very interesting stuff but does this mean we are going to have a whole new era of web application inconsistency? i dont know but i sure hope not.
all of this aside. i still want to install and play around with chrome and the download link IS NOT WORKING. why is this happening to me. the link i have is http://gears.google.com/chrome/eula.html?hl=en (after a feverant google search for the download link)
anyone else having the same problem?
UPDATED: thanks linda for this link www.google.com/chrome

Same issue. Won’t download. Just sits there with the download link grayed out.
Not working for me as well. May many people are just waiting like us to download and test it. All the best guys…. share your experiences once you test it.
Posting this with Chrome right now. Tbh download was very fast here.
Ahh… here ya go for the download.. This worked for me.

@Linda:
Thanks for the link.. YAY its downloading now
I checked the link you posted and it didn’t seem to work for me either. However, when i clicked on the Google logo in the left top corner of that page, I was able to download from the new page that opened.
Try doing that and see if it works!
Good Luck!

Gonna make a review? I’m curious about your experiences compared to my own
@Ben: for sure! i’ll probably write up something tonight as first impressions and another one a few days on with more insight
just stick to the fox.
Got it down this afternoon and spent a few hours ‘testing’ it.
Much much faster than the fox, pretty easy to get on with. I miss mouse gestures, but can live for now.
The biggest issue is that a few sites are now broken. Seems the web standard issue is a real issue. The ones that are not working are CSS menu driven ones.
For now, I am going to stick with it, its so much faster than Firefox. The clean interface (you can see more of the web page) makes it refreshing to use.
@Beno
Since they just took another enige for parsing you can’t really blame them for that. But still I think FF is better for the moment. See my site for MY point of view on the issue.
And ow… F11 in FF (and IE) will make your world larger I guess :p
