I'm using XP Pro SP3 on a LAN behind a NAT router.

0.2.149.29 (build 1798) still thinks its update server is broken.

"Update server not available (error:3)"

and no, its not a firewall issue.
Did it take out the biggest bug of all?

ActiveX

For those who do not understand why ActiveX sucks, there are multiple reasons, but one of which is the security model, and part of that is Authenticode. People who are far smarter than I am say it is dumb and stupid. But Bob Atkinson says that a broken screen saver is more important than security at Microsoft when he designed Authenticode. And that it why it sucks, because we're still stuck with that piece of crap.

It does not happen too often that a federal agency advises against the use of a software product by a major company, but the Federal Office for Security in Information Technology has done exactly that. The message is simple: do not use Google Chrome. Insecure, privacy nightmare.

Most users still can't scroll up with the mouse wheel.
Adblock is still not working.
(And I'm still waiting for Mosaic dagnabit!)
I can't seem to find a changelog anywhere for the new version. How do you know what they fixed with this build?
