It also installed itself without me asking or knowing. It just appeared as program on the "all programs' list. Took a reboot, because it wouldn't uninstall and nothing was running. After reboot got rid of it.
Well thats why Windows has a seperate media player so that it doesnt conflict w/any work youre doing on the net. Think about it this way: while its convenient to have a player imbedded in chrome, i would think that it would crash the browser unless they have firmwares in the future to fix this. Too many users are experiencing this right now, and what about vulneribilities that could be exploited? There's too much risk right now. Ill wait for future firmware updates until i try it out. It easier to be safe than sorry, IMO.- BLUEBOY
