    Default Does Google Web History work with Chrome?

    I'm using the Chrome beta (3.0.195.17). I used to use Google Web History (www.google.com/history) with Firefox, using the Google Toolbar. With Chrome, only my searches are appearing in the Web History, but not pages I visit directly. The Web History page says: "Your web history is limited to searches". But when I click on: "Expand your web history", it says that I must install the Google Toolbar to include web pages in my history. As far as I know, the toolbar is not available for Chrome. If I just click "Enable Web History" without installing the toolbar, it doesn't work, and only the searches show up in the History.

    Does Web History (full functionality) work at all with Chrome? Why would Google stop users of their own browser from using their web services? It doesn't make sense... any help will be greatly appreciated. Otherwise, I'll have to switch back to Firefox, and I rather like Chrome.

    Thanks in advance.

    You answerd the question by yourself ;-)

    Without an installed and enabled Google Toolbar (only works with IE and FX) your search history is limited to web searches through Google.

    The advantage of Chrome/Chromium is that it's faster and people who use this peace of software prefer to have (more or less) just a (very fast) browser.
