Not sure how many of you have noticed this, but I just discovered it. When you search within the browser, it puts a mark on the scroll bar's track to where that text can be found specifically. Just a small, but nifty feature I thought I'd share.

p.s. Would it be against the AUP to discuss iphone jailbreaking?

A very handy feature, but the yellow is sometimes a little hard to see!

Never noticed that. Thanks.

Perhaps you can help with an issue I have. I use AdBrite on fpsFREE.com to generate a little income (very little). While my ads show up in Firefox and IE, they do not in Chrome. If you look at the main page near the bottom, all you ever get is the "Advertise on fpsFREE.com, Powered by Adbrite" banner. None of the paid banners show up on any page.

Any thoughts on that?

Brian.

I couldn't see any differences between IE and Chrome, I see the same ads on both.

I just got a response from AdBrite. Their ads are not supported in Chrome yet. I hope they get on the ball, because the popularity of Chrome is growing fast.

Brian.
