A question to anyone who happens to use the Google Chrome browser:

What the heck is wrong with this thing? I've installed it (and removed it) on two occasions, the last time being Saturday afternoon. And both times it worked great. For 99.9% of my internet use, each new page loaded quicker than IE, Firefox, and even Opera; no errors whatsoever.

Well, except for one fairly important page: the Yahoo login page. You see, I use a lot of Yahoo's services--email, news, maps, fantasy sports, Flickr, HotJobs--and I couldn't log into ANY of them because Chrome could never seem to read the login page. In fact, Yahoo's login page was the only one I normally visit that wouldn't load correctly. It wouldn't matter if I directly tried http://login.yahoo.com or from the similar sign-in links provided at each service's front page.

In Chrome, I can log into pretty much any other portal, blog, or whatever on the web with no problem--but as long as it isn't affiliated with Yahoo. That was bothersome enough for me to un-install it less than an hour after giving it a second chance on Saturday. Am I the crazy one or is there some fix out there that I don't know about?

The question is, is it Google or Yahoo that is blocking the communication?

I've read that's an issue with Chrome. Normally, I'd say that's the norm for a beta product, but what Google software isn't beta?

Here's a solution for you...

STOP USING YAHOO!!!

Just a suggestion...

My suggestion would be to stop using Chrome.

That's really odd. I just tried to log into Yahoo! and I didn't have any trouble at all. I would see if they have any tech support email to see if they know what is going on.

GN, chrome has quickly become my favorite browser. Better than firefox and 100x better than IE could even think about being.

I've had issues on my Vista machine lately. Might be a security issue. Try using HTTPS:// instead of HTTP:// in the web address. Might have been a Windows update actually. And Google just hasn't caught up. It still won't load ESPN.com worth a crap. But switching back to IE is just like browsing through molasses compared to Chrome.

I have not had any problems from my XP machine.

I wouldn't know. Google decided not to support Mac with Chrome.
