INSTALL CHROME MENU BAR RWILLIAMS037 11/19/08 7:22 PM HOW DO I INSTALL THE MENU BAR (FILE, TOOLS, EDIT, ETC.) ON CHROME ?
Re: INSTALL CHROME MENU BAR Dejan1024 11/20/08 1:19 AM First of all, you should not type with Caps Lock on. Chrome doesn't have a menu bar, all the menu items are in the two menus on the right side of the window: the page and the wrench icons. You can't install the menu bar in Chrome.
Re: INSTALL CHROME MENU BAR platinum7919 2/28/09 12:12 PM I want a proper menu bar. it shouldn't be hard. The "page" and "tool" buttons that chrome ripped off from IE7 are really stupid.
Re: INSTALL CHROME MENU BAR bobtfish 3/23/09 7:27 PM I agree. I appreciate that the current layout is supposed to be clean and space saving, but I find it horrible to be accessing everything from a couple of buttons, and would at least like the option of a menu bar, even if it is turned off by default.

Re: INSTALL CHROME MENU BAR FoxIV 4/9/09 5:01 AM I too, would like a menu bar. Or at least still be able to use key combinations to achieve what I used to with Firefox; Alt-F, etc. It seems to me that this is a major flaw in an already unremarkable browser. I'm just putting my view forward on this
Re: INSTALL CHROME MENU BAR phoenix44 5/3/09 12:08 AM I agree with you all. I think I will be sticking to IE or Firefox until this little request can be put straight. I agree that it looks too much like IE.
Re: INSTALL CHROME MENU BAR Tzadik 5/4/09 2:47 AM If you are a dinosaur like me, you will want a Menu Bar. You have two choices. 1.

Re: INSTALL CHROME MENU BAR Khandakar 5/6/09 7:32 AM Yep! without menu bar it is very annoying. Designing "Chrome" without menu bar is the stupidest idea ever. My question is does anyone have any idea who is the designer!!!!!! of Chrome?
Re: INSTALL CHROME MENU BAR ccrashh 5/14/09 5:49 AM I agree with all of the above.  The browser is quick, I will give it that, but totally non-functional as a tool.

Re: INSTALL CHROME MENU BAR semjaza 8/29/09 11:22 AM Give us a menu bar.  Lack of menu bar is a BIG user interface no-no.
Re: INSTALL CHROME MENU BAR craginm 8/29/09 12:07 PM Lack of a menu bar is an insufferable conceit on the part of Google. "Installed - found no way to display standard menus - created login to complain - complained - uninstalled - goodbye" - albol says it all!
Re: INSTALL CHROME MENU BAR loubal22 9/2/09 11:33 AM Google Chrome is an incomplete browser w/o a menu bar.  I like it's speed and functionality but w/o a menu bar I will choose to use other browsers.

Re: INSTALL CHROME MENU BAR BartoloD 9/17/09 9:59 PM Honestly, I think Google Chrome is very much niche oriented.

Re: INSTALL CHROME MENU BAR paluft 9/17/09 10:23 PM Not having a menu bar breaks the standardized Windows interface.  One of the original intents in the development of Windows was to provide a standardized user interface across the board, so all software had a similar look and feel.  Many moons ago, I

Re: INSTALL CHROME MENU BAR QQFarmer 9/27/09 4:01 PM I, for one, don't want a menu bar.  It's not necessary. It takes up space, which I really hate. I never use the menu bar on IE8. I got rid of the menu bar on Firefox 3.5 by using Tiny Menu and I like Chrome the way it is, a clean fast web browser WIT
Re: INSTALL CHROME MENU BAR PMBWriter 9/30/09 6:44 AM I find the menu bar extremely helpful. In addition to being convenient, it helps me learn my keyboard shortcuts. No menus is not as bad as the menus in Office 2007, but no menus is still disappointing. Can't someone make menus an option?  Hint-hint,

Re: INSTALL CHROME MENU BAR HollyAyn 12/30/09 1:41 PM I agree . . . No menu bar, no Chrome.  Make the menu bar at least an option, one that is accessible by using ALT+key, and I'll give Chrome another chance.  In the meantime, Google, you lost another customer.
Re: INSTALL CHROME MENU BAR wrkbear 1/2/10 9:43 AM I agree with nearly all of the other replies.  The idea of putting all the menus under one or two icons is inconsistent with all windows standards and is DUMB!   Users should at least have the option of using a standard windows UI if the developers o

Re: INSTALL CHROME MENU BAR inyo55 8/30/11 7:13 AM I find it pretentious that Google Chrome does not have a menu bar.  It is also arrogant, not to provide this feature, since corporate gmail is becoming more prevalent.  Chrome without a menu bar is the same conceit as Apple's round mouse of the first

Re: INSTALL CHROME MENU BAR LegolasGreenleaf 9/10/11 5:37 AM My two cents worth and I'm outta here: It's very simple. I want to choose whether to have a menu bar or not have a menu bar.  I don't need someone who isn't using my workflow to decide how I work.  As with others, no menu bar option, no Chrome.  Bye

Re: INSTALL CHROME MENU BAR iamsria 9/20/11 1:31 PM Cmon cave_troll.  No one said impossible.  Everyone just wants the consistency a menu bar provides.  Work is tough enough without having some software company make changes that require re-learning actions and end up slowing down our processes.  This

Re: INSTALL CHROME MENU BAR caver_tim 12/20/11 1:36 AM Is it just that it looks a bit different?If you spent 30 mins looking through the menu, I assume that you can use it, its just you were frustrated as you were looking for an option that was not there.

Re: INSTALL CHROME MENU BAR iamsria 1/4/12 12:22 PM I believe mtnrunner2 is simply asking for the option to load a menu bar so as to avoid the productivity loss that comes with random, unwanted software changes.
