Okay, it looks like Canary is in fact STILL installed on my system :(

In Applications, I have ONE icon. It is the standard, multi-colored Chrome icon. I am typing this in standard Chrome and the regular icon is in the dock. If I click the same icon in Applications when Chrome is already open, Canary opens ! It's icon is added to the dock.

How do I uninstall Canary ?

Anyone ? I uninstalled standard Chrome again, deleted the profile data for both Chrome and Canary in /Library, and then reinstalled. Clicking the standard Chrome icon in Applications launches Canary now !

Even though Safari is Webkit like Chrome, it's pretty suck. Too slow of a release cycle but I like the iCloud integration Safari keeps.

Useful on the iPod...not sure what benefit it is for Safari, unless I missed something.

Hand gestures with The Magic Trackpad would be a good reason ...

I meant the iCloud feature on safari. It's supposed to be self explanatory, but it doesn't seem to work for me. All devices sign under same account, and I can have something opened on the iPad or iPhone, and iCloud on MacBook Air is empty. Always. Safari is "checked" under iCloud preferences on all devices, including MacBook Air.

You should upgrade Chrome to 25. Beautiful.

Sure is! Still having a hard time weaning myself off of Safari.

Something wrong with me mentally:

Windows: Internet Explorer
OS X: Safari
Linux: Firefox

And I have a hard time moving away from that, and i have no idea why!

Hall posted : I'm already on "Version 25.0.1364.99".

With Canary, I ran it for a while but had removed it a couple of months ago. The traces of it remained in ~/Library/Application Support though. I ended up just deleting the profile for Canary and standard Chrome and started fresh.

Hall posted : That did it. I had installed Google Canary a while back and the only trace of it was in my ~/Library folder (nothing in Applications). That seemed to be what was causing the problem.

Thanks !

if it still sucks, set safari as default, then set chrome as default.

make it rewrite those settings basically

Hall posted : I recently was able to update my iMac at work to 10.8 and have encountered a couple glitches related to Google Chrome.

- Chrome is set as the default browser but when I click hyperlinks in Thunderbird, Safari opens. I've tried searching quickly and everything I'm seeing talks about Firefox.

- Downloaded files, so far I can confirm with PDF, PNG, and ICS, don't open when I click on them in the download bar (bottom of window) OR from the "Downloads" window in Chrome. I have to use Finder to go to my Downloads folder to open the files. This sounds like a security setting that's not allowing this.

I did re-download Google Chrome just in case there is a different version for 10.6 vs 10.8.

Any help ?
