Comment #9 on issue 27106 by banksand: Chrome ignores proxy settings http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=27106
Thanks. My desktop environment is GNOME. My operating system is Ubuntu 8.04. I start Chrome from the menu, Applications > Internet > Google Chrome. I set my Proxy Settings through the GNOME menu, System > Preferences > Network Proxy. If in Google Chrome I click the wrench icon > Options > Under the Hood > Proxy Settings, it opens the same dialog --- except when this bug is happening. When this bug is happening, all four of these things happen: 1. This one (27106). Privoxy says it is not being used. 2. The proxy settings, indeed, are bypassed. For example, no ads are blocked. 3. Bug 27104. Clicking Chrome's proxy settings button brings up a Google help page in a new Chrome tab, instead of the system's proxy settings dialog. 4. In Chrome's options, under Basics, above the button for Make Google Chrome My Default Browser, it says, Chrome cannot determine or set your default browser. It is important to note that it doesn't start out this way. At first, Chrome uses the proxy settings, and none of the four problems above happen. Then, at some point, the four bugs suddenly happen. I don't have consistent data of what leads up to it. At first I thought it happens after I make Chrome the default, or after I reboot, or both. But I cannot consistently duplicate it. Right now, at this very moment, Chrome uses my proxy settings, and all is well. Chrome is not, however, set as my default browser. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
