Roboform for Chrome is here (alpha version)

An alpha build of Roboform for Chrome was publicly released today. Right now it actually works only on Chromium, because Chrome has to fix something in the meantime, however saying Chromium or Chrome is like saying potato instead of potatoe - same thing just that the logo is different.

So if you want to be one of the early birds that tests the alpha build (seems to be stable enough to be called a beta) of Roboform for Chrome (chromium), you can read how you can do that here: Roboform for Chrome (alpha release). Thank you Siber System, been waiting for this for a long time!

RoboForm for Google Chrome

Update 4: Support for Google chrome will be added by the end of 2009 according to this http://www.roboformchrome.com/topic/google-chrome-support-on-the-way

Google's newly released Chrome browser is fast but (very) lightweight. The first thing I thought of when trying it was if RoboForm will seemingly integrate with it (a RoboForm toolbar like in FireFox for instance). So since there was no mention on their news page of a new version, I wanted to open a support ticket, but that's when I've seen this:

Will RoboForm support the new Google Chrome Browser? When?
We are sorry, but RoboForm cannot integrate with Google Chrome.
Unfortunately, it is not possible due to the browser engine that Google chose, named WebKit.
We will look into possibility of integration.

So, I really hope they'll find a solution. The reason I didn't use Opera is because RoboForm doesn't integrate with it, I would hate to have to do the same thing with Google Chrome. Anyway, I still hope they're still figuring out things, I mean it took a while until they've released the RoboForm for FireFox version.

Update: There is an (inconvenient) workaround on using RoboForm with Google Chrome. If Google Chrome is set as the default browser, and RoboForm's tray icon is enabled, you can right-click the tray and select the passcard you want to fill in. This way that page will be automatically opened in Chrome and the password filled-in (and submitted, depending on your options). However, this won't work with filling forms in Chrome, just with filling passwords. Anyway, as mentioned above it's an inconvenient workaround, so you RoboForm guys from Siber need to really find a solution to have a "RoboForm Chrome" package (and I hope they are working on RoboForm for Mac too, there was a rumor a while back that they were searching for Mac developers, but nothing new yet).

I see someone asked how to make RoboForm not only open the page where the passcard needs filled-in, but also to submit it. So, in order to have "Fill & Submit" as a default option you have to go into RoboForm Options - AutoFill tab and check "Fill & Submit" is the default action for Matching Passcards.
I stand corrected, this workaround does work only to open the desired page in Google Chrome, but it doesn't fill and submit (at least not in this current version).

Update 2: A small prediction I have, Siber Systems will create for sure a solution for Google Chrome because it's going to be too popular to ignore. But, this new integration will probably be available only in RoboForm 7. Why I'm saying this? Well the last major version of RoboForm (6.0) was released exactly 4 years ago, and since then all registered customers had free upgrades. But now they're at 6.9.90 and it seems about time to release version 7 - and what a better incentive to upgrade than a unique integration with Google Chrome. Plus, in this situation Google's to blame too - they've released this Chrome version without sending private betas to some important developers on the browser market first, as other developers do.

Update 3: I've launched a new website, http://www.roboformchrome.com, a discussion forum for RoboForm (an old love) and Google Chrome (the new "mistress"), and I invite anyone willing to vote on a RoboForm for Chrome poll here - http://www.roboformchrome.com/topic/roboform-for-google-chrome - hope it will gather enough buzz to obtain (another) official response on this matter.
