Google 9 is awful!

[jworrellbass]

I'm not to sure what to do, so I thought I'd post and hopefully someone here on TB might have an answer. My laptop just got done doing some updates and one of them was the new google 9. Now my tool bar is gone and my favorites as well. It really sucks! Does anyone have a solution to this.

Thanks in advance.

All the commands you need should be available in the 'wrench' menu - it's the button on the far right next to the address bar. By favorites I assume you mean the bookmark bar - click on the wrench, then Tools, then 'Always show bookmarks bar'.

Excuse my ignorance, but Google 9?

 

[Bozendoka]

I believe he meant Google Chrome. Either that or my answer makes no sense at all.

No it's not google chrome. Google 9 is the newest google. It installed along with some other updates. The thing that sucks is my old toolbar and other things I use on a daily basis are gone. I did take your advice and use the wrench, but now I have to redo all of my favorite websites. It took awhile to find them in the first place.

Odd, I've never heard of 'Google 9' - if you open the wrench menu and look three or four up from the bottom you should see an 'About [something]' option - what does the [something] say?

 

[jworrellbass]

There's a bunch of different "abouts" that are there when I open the wrench.

If you google "google 9" you will see that's it a new version of google chrome. It just would have been nice if I had the option not to install it. It seems that this has happened to other people as well.

So you're talking about Google Chrome 9... If ya don't like it, get another browser, there's plenty to choose from.

Are you sure it's the new one? I just checked my Google Chrome and it's version 10.

All I know is, this morning on my laptop a box pop up saying new updates had been installed. Which it does from time to time. After I clicked the continue button it restarted and my homepage looked the same (standard google page), but my toolbar was gone.

I'm pretty sure it's Chrome 8 updating because it has reached its past-due. Chrome is now in version 10, and they never dropped the toolbar or bookmarks bar.

If you're talking about the menu bar, maybe you can tell us what you need from it, I'll tell you the corresponding keyboard shortcut.

Thanks, I might have whined about things to early . Now that I've had sometime to get used to it, it's not so bad. I just had to download a new toolbar, the favorites are now on my right side of the page (before on the left), I just had to click the star. There still all there. It's the same classic google I had before, just rearanged.

Google 9 is the newest google.

Chrome is now in version 10, and they never dropped the toolbar or bookmarks bar.

You might want to manually update to V10 to get new security features.

No it's not google chrome. Google 9 is the newest google.

If you google "google 9" you will see that's it a new version of google chrome.

This is something I can agree with. Iron is indeed most excellent.
