Google Chrome is a Beta version so there is bound to be some problems and nixes. Some of the problems that cannot be fixed till the final version is available.
But many people may consider some elements as flaws which cannot be fixed. So i thought of giving a list of some common elements of the browser that people mistake as mistakes....
- The Automatic File Download - "Chrome automatically downloads files" : Google Chrome downloads files (.exe , .pdf , .zip) automatically without prompting (asking if u are sure to download the file)
- Solution:
- Click on the small tool icon on the right end of address bar.
- Select Options
- Under Minor Tweaks click on the "Ask where to save each file before downloading" under Download Location.
- No Home Page Button - there is no homepage or option to setup a homepage or use the Speed dial like feature on Startup.
