Gears does not support Chrome on Mac #982

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Go to http://gears.google.com/ in Google Chrome in OS X

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected support for Google's browser.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Google Gears: 0.5.33.0 (operational in Firefox and Safari on same 
computer)
Google Chrome: 4.0.249.12
OS X: 10.5.8

Please provide any additional information below.
In addition to the explicit statement on the gears.google.com page, the 
about:plugins page and any Gears enabled site also confirm that Gears is 
not working in Chrome, despite Gears being installed for Firefox and 
Safari, and Gears.plugin being located in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins.

I realize that at least some developers are aware of this issue, but I could 
not find another bug report and I wanted to both spread awareness and 
provide a location where those interested can stay up to date on any 
developments.

Any chance of this being supported?  If not, any timeframe guidance on when 
Gmail, 
Calendar, and other products will start to use the HTML5 capabilities inherent 
in 
Chrome for offline access?

I searched for a bit and still am not sure I haven't missed something, because 
I'd 
think chrome would be the #1 gears target on Mac.  But I guess no gears yet, 
hmm.

This help shows how to configure gears, definitely missing that gears button in 
my 
preferences > under the hood > web content:

I'd be interested in using this.  Since firefox is ok and offers me offline 
gmail I really 
don't have much use for a new browser that doesn't (even if its mildly faster).
