You can't change the language once it's installed, you have to get the English version in the first place when you download it. If the writing on the Chrome download page you will get the Thai version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyperdimension Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 (edited) The title of this thread is a pure lie and should be changed. They'll give gift cards, not money.

Our panel management partner, Knowledge Networks, will give you a $5 Amazon.com Gift Card code instantly when you sign up and download the Google Screenwise browser extension.1 Then you’ll get additional $5 Amazon.com Gift Card codes every three months for staying with it.2 It's our way of saying "Thank you."Source: Help Us Make Google Better Edited February 9, 2012 by hyperdimension Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beetlejuice Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Don’t fall for it. People business is big business, there are those making $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ from our personal information. People who publish intimate and personal details about themselves on facebook, social networking sites and other sites that require they’re data are idiots. What many fail to understand is, that once this information is online, it`s there forever. Try putting your email addresses, name, phone numbers or addresses in Google or people search engines? You may been shocked by what information is vomited up about you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the writing on the Chrome download page you will get the Thai version. Go to www.google.com/chrome at the top right of the screen there is a drop down menu it may show thai, click to open the drop down, select english or englishuk as required. Then click the download chrome box and install normally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footloose1949 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Well, I suppose you could open a new account, use it just for trawling serious/acedemic stuff, so your original account is not used, and earn the 25$, for handing them history of websites which will have little monatary value to them!

ReeceArnold Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Remember all those terrible discusting virus or trickery type links which steal your private info (for sale to advertising companies, etc) everyone agrees that these are an unacceptable violation which should be stopped, right? Then how can it be acceptable for google to do it openly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
