What!? Did you use my pet? Look at the /usr/bin/google-chrome in the Lucid Chrome pet to see how to avoid the won't run as root message (you have to specify the datadir).May just be me or my old hardware but all I get is the "won't run as root" message. Reverted back to 19.
Lucid Puppy 5.2.8 - Updated ISO Version 005 - APR 05 2012
Apparently so..... and full install of 528.005.
Back to 19 I guess.

You are most right about drivers.
I have Acer D255 Atom CPU and the Intel Chips.
Most likely I should use Mesa 1.8 something but
I did the set up now and you where right.
It recommended a "High" driver so I installed it.
Thanks. Friendly jokes is okay with me
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

Guess they consider an Athlon XP too old to support.
Google-Chrome working here...
Just wanted to say Larry that your .pet of google-chrome v-20 is working perfectly fine here on 3HD regardless the window manager/desktop environment and on this very old Dell "celery" 2.4 processor that's approximately 8 to 10 years old. ( I think? Was the marvel of its day but held together with bailing wire and duct tape now. LOL! )
Nothing about "won't run under root". Had it had said that I'd have taken the browser out back and shot it with my shotgun of course.
Damned if I'll have a computer or piece of software tell ME what to do with MY computer! Day that arrives ol' jimmi boy will gladly chuck his computer out the window here... which has a nice drop-off to the river below! 
Thanks for your continued work upon Puppy Larry for ol' whinners like me. Your hard work is very greatly appreciated and you never get told nearly enough!
Cheers/Amicalement,

Hello Eyes-Only, Yes, it seems that Pentium 3's (and later of course) are OK with Chrome 20, but from what James C has found the Athlon XP is not.google-chrome v-20 is working perfectly fine here on 3HD regardless the window manager/desktop environment and on this very old Dell "celery" 2.4 processor
Fresh full install of 528.005 on the old P3 test box. Everything looking good ootb.

Reported frames looks about normal for those drivers, but really unable to judge without knowing what video GPU is being used.
The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

Firefox 3.6.28
This is the corresponding Firefox--not the same version, but on the same place on the download page, a still-updated version of 3.6 now at 3.6.28. (Firefox 13 was crashing on me, when I was using it for work! And so was Thunderbird 13. This was in windows though.)
