Chrome allows browser locking its very nice feature.
please help me
This doesnt work :-/ I installed it and yes it asks for a password once I manually lock it but DOES NOT ask for password when browser is opened (despite checking the box for doing so). Also, I was able to disable and uninstall this without having to provide credentials..lame.. any other suggestions?
Crap ... good idea, but can kill in chrome's task manager, therefore not secure whatsoever.
very nice :thank u from morocco
