Same here...I got a screen capture also. Just in case it might aid someone in solving this problem.

EDIT:
This page itself is giving me problems......and the thread "What's a good Antivirus SOftware". Here is more info from Google.

Is MInt 7 the only distro that you tried Google Chrome under? Firefox doesn't seem to have problems, and Google's blacklist (usually) applies under Firefox as well. Maybe also try a more recent version of Mint? Mint 9 "Isadora" LDXE is one I keep in my CD wallet (even though I'm otherwise a solid KDE guy)

I'm not getting it with Konqueror either.

[nujinini]

nujinini, do you get any notifications of any cookies or anything of the sort?
Do you use any ad-blockers in your other browsers that you might have a different setting on than you do in Chrome?

I'm not blaming the browser... but what are the variables that you might have?

I don't get any notification cookies and I don't use any ad-blockers. I just use Chrome as I installed it . I did change the settings, I mean.

I downloaded and used chrome in my ubuntu and have not encountered this problem in that partition though FWIW

[MikeTbob]

Not getting that warning while using Chromium either.

[Bemk]

I get the warning in Firefox, but not in Chrome. I really hope this gets resolved fast.

EDIT:

Get it in Chrome as well, now.

[MikeTbob]

Same here, Chromium has started doing it for me as well. Thanks to everyone for reporting and hopefully this matter will be resolved quickly.

I had hoped I could get rid of this glitch by uninstalling Firefox, then reinstalling.. but it's still there...
Has anyone eliminated this bug by reinstalling the OS, and not installing Firefox's add-ons..?
Does it happen on other Linux browsers?..

Is this bug what's called a "super cookie"..?

What time and date was this glitch first noticed..?

Which OS's does this glitch target..? Which OS"s are this glitch free..? Does it happen with Windows..?
