about:linux-splash

[triplemaya]

Hi.

Please can someone tell me how to stop chromium displaying the about:linux-splash page.

I really like chromium, but it's useless as my default browser, because of the about:linux-splash page. If I click on a link in my email client, for instance, up comes chromium, quick as a flash, with the about:linux-splash page, and the default page in the other tab. No page with the content I want to see!

and my other question is
is there a way to subscribe to a thread, if you've forgotten to do so before posting, other than by submitting a reply? Like this!

In case anyone else is having this problem, the fix is this.

It's a horrible hack, but I think that you can actually make Chrome *not* load the
about:linux-splash page when it's called externally with a URL by setting the home
page option *to* about:linux-splash. You'll probably want to change it back to the
new tab page when the splash goes away. "

I filed the problem as a bug, and the developers provided this info, which works fine.
Chromium is great as a default browser as it opens so quickly.
