Google Chrome and TouchSmart tm2

I have downloaded google Chrome and it works well but touch screen does not work.  when I drag my finger up or down screen while running Google Chrome it highlights sections of the website I am on, whereas if I does this in IE or Firefox I scroll down the page.  Is there a way to get scrolling by dragging your finger down the screen to work in Chrome with a HP TouchSmart tm2?

Re: Google Chrome and TouchSmart tm2

Unfortunately, current verions of the Chrome browser aren't designed with touch navigation in mind.  There is a plugin in known as "ChromeTouch" that improves things a bit:

I've tried it and found it helps somewhat, but still has some problems.  Your best bet is to switch to another browser with better touch support.

Thanks.  I have been using Firefox and it works fine but Chrome seemed faster so was thinking of switching; guess I won't.

 

Thanks again.
