I have run it on XP SP3, and it works. Not that impressed with the initial version however. Perhaps it will improve over time.

Guest Dan Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 RE: Chrome on win 98? Have you tried contacting Google about it and asking in a Google group about this if this is the browser you want for Windows 98. Anyway, it is still in beta and should be only run on test systems because it has vulnerabilities according to DHS. http://www.us-cert.gov/current/ Information graciously provided by the Department of Homeland Security web-site: Google Chrome Download Vulnerability added September 3, 2008 at 01:52 pm US-CERT is aware of a vulnerability that affects the Google Chrome web browser. This vulnerability is due to a default configuration that allows files to be downloaded without prompting the user. In addition, downloaded files can be opened with a single click, which could allow a user to inadvertently open a malicious file. US-CERT encourages users to enable the "Ask where to save each file before downloading" option within the "Minor Tweaks" tab in the browser preferences. Although this does not fix the underlying vulnerability, selecting this option will warn the user before files are downloaded. Users should still exercise caution when visiting and downloading items from untrusted websites. US-CERT will provide additional information as it becomes available.

Guest Dan Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 Re: Chrome on win 98? Philo, I find it amazing now how much more reliant people are on their web browsers than their actual operating systems. This really does seem to be a recent shift from the past when the operating system was king.
