What did you like and dislike about using Chrome? What did you discover when taking three apps on a test drive?
My first impression with google chrome was that it was as easy as internet explorer. As I played in the app store and with the settings I grew a bit frustrated. I could not the "home" settings to change. It was a struggle when entering the Settings>Appearance>changing browser world. It showed multpile URLs and warned me that I was logged in under dist113.org domain and could only be edited by an administrator. As a result, I had the feeling that I was logged in under multiple users (including dist113.org and gmail.com accounts). In addition, it seemed that I was reverting to IE as a starting point or "home base" and launching google chrome as a new tab from there. Did it seem to anyone else that you were unsure if you were in chrome or IE browser? I am certain it is mainly user-error!
Also, when downloading apps in the store, I found it odd that I was not asked for login information as I am in what I consider the more traditional app store that is linked to itunes log-in. Although the downloading of the app was quicker I had a feeling of being exposed. You know, like why am I not protected by a password and why does it keep giving me warnings that it is going to access all of my contacts and drive information, etc.
While in the app store, I downloaded one or two apps unintentionally and could only "Rate" but not delete them immediately. I was hoping for a drop down menu with delete app option. Once the app was downloaded, I did not know where to go to open it in the google chrome tab. I found little icons in the upper right corner and tried to drag them to the "home" screen for easy access when launched but they would drag there. I still wonder, where are they and how can I see a "list" of apps.
Upon finding the apps, I accidentally took them for a test drive. Hangout app was fun but it did require a plug-in. When I invited people to hangout out it gave me a warning that I do not have a camera but can still hang out with voice and chat. I thought it was neat that you can view the same youtubes, although I kept my window open and nobody joined me to chat so I had fun playing with the hangout effects like laughing and applauding, etc that can be used if you have friends available to hangout!
I did not know that there is also Activity 6&7 so I better do those now...
check the resources for the chrome activity. ixf I recall correctly (not at a computer), there are screen shots and screen casts for chrome. to delete apps, clickon the three bars, top right of your browser. from there, click settings and you should find apps and extensions. when you view the apps you should see enable, disable, trash can. the trashcanwill deletethem.
