Should I uninstall Google Chrome browser on iMac?
I stopped using Google browser a bit back on uncertainty about privacy, and Firefox and Safari seems adequate. but I still have the browser installed just in case. But I was wondering if I could release some necessary on disk, memory, or the feature on my older Mac. In the console, I noticed that there is a constant Google software updates and heard talk of how the software can always be monitoring my activity even when I'm not actively with the browser? Otherwise I wouldn't mind keeping the browser because it has a record of my last top activities approximately one year, which could be handy if necessary at a later date. [perhaps the browser Google keeps memory of the last windows, tabs, & history so that I can
access to those who are still by reinstalling the browser later if necessary?]
I use an iMac 2009, OS X (10.8.5) Mountain Lion, with a failed hard drive. Someone put in place so that I can run the Mac to an external hard drive until I find a better solution. But I have to restart my mac once a week to keep its functioning and load quickly, and I'm running out of space on my disk or the backup partition. [Ask if (a non-techie) can configure partitions differently to make more space for backups?] Until I can get a bigger hard drive]
Any input to any of these questions are greatly appreciated.
Google Chrome takes less than 400 MB. Disconnected no free space so alone, is not a determining factor. If you want to remove it, then do it.
Get another external hard drive and move files to free up space on your startup disk.
If you want advice on partitions, you must provide information about what you currently have Setup.

When I visit Gmail using Firefox version 8.0 (running w7) I get this message: "important features may not work in this version of your browser, if you have been directed to the basic HTML version. Upgrade to a modern, like Google Chrome browser. Try the standard version in any case. "
When I click "Try Standard Version Anyway" it works, but for some reason, Gmail is say that Firefox 8.0 is not a modern browser. Also, whenever I visit Gmail, he returned to the basic HTML version... ba.
It seems that Google is trying to make you switch to Chrome. I would stick with Firefox, but Gmail is an important part of my browsing...
I found the solution... browsing around, I found this link:

I faced this problem too, but I realized what the problem was.
Open the Task Manager and there you can find on Google Notifications running in the background.
Put an end (END TASK) and then try to uninstall chrome, it worked in my case.
NOTE: apart from this, you can find a few other tasks of chrome running in background.
Usually, they would have the Chrome icon, but sometimes, in the case of Notifications, the icon is different.

Cannot open hyperlinks after uninstalling Google Chrome
Please don't refer me to the previous post on this topic, I think I tried them all.
After uninstalling Google Chrome, hyperlinks in MS Outlook will be notwork. I tried most of the things recommended in the old forum posts, but they all seem to be prior to Windows 7. Nothing worked and I'm looking forward to a solution. HTML file associations, etc are all in IE9, Chrome has been uninstalled, edited registry (even though I'm not an expert there) IE9 release candidate has been downloaded and installed. I must respond to a window asking whenever I click on a hyperlink asking how to open the file so I have to manually associate with IE. I am running:
Windows 7 Ultimate (x 64) Service Pack 1 (build 7601)
Internet Explorer Version 9.00.8080.16413
Microsoft Outlook Version 14.0.4760.1000.I'd appreciate any help.
I'm not familiar with the problem of Chrome.
These are all the patches file association that I have seen used before [Please note that control panel, default programs option seems to be more effective than the Open with dialog - but keep in mind that I'll just on what I learned from other threads that I have not had this problem myself]. You have already tried many of them, but I included all because I'm not sure you checked & that you do not.
On your computer
Control Panel, programs by default, set your default programs & associate any type of file or Protocol with a program
[Check IE only] Options Internet explorer, tools, Internet, programs - set are lacking
Microsoft links [read the descriptions on the first linked pages]
Difficulty of broken desktop shortcuts and common system maintenance tasks
Diagnose and repair Windows files and folders problems automatically
and then, if necessary,
3 party links [read the descriptions on the page linked first of all to make sure it matches your symptoms - only this get you far if you]
