Summary

Man it's been a long month. We got DMCA'd by Microsoft for the logo, but we got a new one from a very generous Preston Locke. Enjoy!


My Google account was compromised and an unofficial version (1.1.3) was sent out as an update to all Chrometana users. That update bundled malware.

We are so incredibly sorry for this and are working with Google to identify how the account was compromised. We have just shipped update 2.0 out now, which includes a streamlined UI and NO MALWARE.

Please do not hesitate to contact Theo through Github or feedback on here at any point. Again, we are so sorry about this and are going far out of our way to prevent compromises from happening in the future.

Definitely in the Required category.

Gracias, odiaba que se abriera Bing desde el administrador de tareas, estoy feliz. TODOS LOS QUE DICEN QUE NO FUNCIONA... Por favor si no deshabilitas EDGE vas mal. Hay que activar una opción en el menú de Configuración, pero para poder encontrarla hay ir hasta abajo del todo y pulsar en *Mostrar configuración avanzada*. * Sistema*,- marcar la casilla “*Seguir ejecutando aplicaciones en segundo plano al cerrar Google Chrome*”. De esta manera no tendremos ningún problema cuando hagamos una búsqueda y Chrome esté cerrado. RECOMIENDO IR A; https://www.tuexperto.com/2015/11/23/como-cambiar-bing-por-google-al-buscar-en-windows-10/ no hacer caso a enlace ^*Bing2Google* no funciona para CHROME.
