Double click tab to close page. 2. Mouse Gestures 3. Super drag 4. IE tab 5. Download tools supported in context menu. Get it here. http://www.chromeplus.org/

Nice hairband, you inbred.

From this page: http://www.chromeplus.org/download.html From this link: http://www.chromeplus.org/update/ChromePlus1.3.3.0.zip md5: - 26ad281f28b2763edd48e22402d02c28 Downloaded, unzipped and ran. This is the first time I've seen this browser and therefore unable to know exactly how it's supposed to operate. It does appear to run as expected. Unpacked, it stands at 39 Meg, rising to 50+ Meg once opened, done a bit of tweaking and closed. I've moved it around and noticed no difference. I can't find anything in the registry except MUICache and 'WinPatrol' entries with nothing found written outside its directory. It appears as a true portable application that writes its settings to .ini files. If this needs correcting... please correct.

The only file that has been executed is: chrome.exe As far as I can tell, ChromePlusUpgrade.exe is the auto-update function executable. Everything that happens, while running or when closed, appears to be written to its own directory, setting changes etc. I think we've hit an impasse that will need an arbiter.
