It is not normal for Chrome to do that. It is almost certain you have unwanted software on your computer.

No. I think the reason Opera doesn't exhibit this behavior is that Opera has a very small userbase, so malware authors don't target it. Opera only yields better performance on older hardware. On newer machines, Chrome is pretty much always faster and has a wider distribution and better support for modern standards. As such, it's much more popular.
When we say "malware" we don't necessarily mean "a virus and/or rootkit." I include the kind of adware that many computers come pre-bundled with as malware, in that it creates bad expereinces like the one you're having. Check to make sure you have no chrome extensions.
I'm only really having a light hearted jab at it. I'm sure it's fine but having gotten so used to Opera, having all of my bookmarks, speed dial etc on Opera it seems like a bad move to switch to Chrome. Also, pretty much in love with the inbuilt IRC program in Opera, something that Chrome certainly doesn't have. Want to join a channel? All I do is press F4 and click on the channel name 
On that subject, will the RR server be getting ForgeIRC then or have you not decided yet?

Is ForgeIRC out for 1.5.2?
It's not exactly Malware.
I had it too.
Its an addon, you can disable it and delete it from your computer in Uninstall a Program.

Youtube has been trying to be awesome for a long time and it still sucks.
Google plus is too tracky and spy-y.
chrome is nice
gmail doesnt let you block people for some odd reason. I have colleges aid stuff constantly spamming me.
youtube should be ALL about your subscriptions.
The homepage should be stuff you subscribed to, in the order of what was uploaded most recently. Instead google thinks it's appropriate to have the homepage be "reccomended video's" or some shit. Lets see what my "reccomended video's" are:
a 1 year old video of what looks like a minecraft adventure map
biome buster? ehh wtf?
2 duncan vids... I unsub'd from Duncan like 6 months ago, why the fuck does youtube think I want to watch his videos?
Disturbed vid... yeah I can understand that one but if I wanna listen to a song, I'll go looking for it, reccomending I listen to a song is just silly.
Bdouble0 vanilla minecraft vid. I don't think I've watched any vanilla MC since... oh... Paulsoaresjr did that Vechs map on hardcore without dying?

Yeah I wish I could make the 'subscriptions' page be my homepage on Youtube rather than having to click it each time It used to be like that but they changed everything
At least it seems to now remember than I just want to see Uploads not everything.

Damnit, YouTube.
You need to get your shit togheter.
The only real reason I use you is I CAN'T STAND FREAKING VIMEO/DAILYMOTION.
On the other hand, I can't stand Vimeo/Dailymotion, so YouTube is the way to go.
Even though I disagree with their design choices a lot.
It kinda reminds me of YouTube's mobile site/app.
But I'm trying to watch it on a computer, so dafuq?
I've just made "My Subscriptions" the link in my speed dial, rather than just "youtube"Yeah I wish I could make the 'subscriptions' page be my homepage on Youtube rather than having to click it each time

I get a horrible annoying redirect virus thing on any browser I use.
1. I google something
2. I see the search results
3. If I click on the blue links, the first time i click them they'll send me to some other crappy search results site. I immediately exit and click the link again, on the second time it'll send me to the right one.
4. If I copy the green text below the link and put that into my url thingy, it'll send me to the real site no problem. I've used kasperskys rootkit detector stuff, mcaffee, avg, everything. I think it's fake google or something because at the bottom when it's loading it says "connecting to 208.50.......
5. On some things like forums where the green text has sections in it, I cannot drag it to the address bar thing because it will instead send me to the section and not the thread.
6. Also I have net nanny from when my mom didn't realize that I was 14 and I've seen worse gore/porn/"adult/mature" humor videos or whatever else it flags, than she can imagine. I'm 16 now and i got an iPhone as my birthday present. Thankfully my parents were like, "youre 16 i guess well just trust u lols". Now I'm just waiting for the subscription to run out on my computer since I dont feel like asking them to cancel it and everything. You see, I could care less about porn. I can do that on my phone. This net nanny shit is just annoying because it's terrible programming ("just block as much as possible" brute force mentality) just like every other block program. I can't access painterly pack anymore because it blocks it as "adult/mature". I could ask my dad to unblock it, but it's too much work. This also happens with Team Fortress 2 and because of updates, it'll often go back to being blocked. Lastly, it blocks a ton of mods on MinecraftForums for "weapons" and blocks Battlefield for "weapons".
parental control programs are in my opinion worse than viruses. it's shit software sold to uneducated paranoid moms and makes a ton of money each year out of fear tactics. It doesn't actually do anything but make surfing the internet for okay things (like video games and guns and LGBT activism etc.) a huge pain. I can't even do research projects because a page might have the word cocaine in it when it's about addiction prevention. It doesn't actually do its job. It doesn't shield anyone from anything, so once someone knows one thing, whats the point? There are so many things it doesn't catch, like Imgur porn and a majority of Tumblr porn. It's like when people talk about making laws against 3D printing guns. People have the knowledge. You can not get rid of knowledge. Restrictions will always fail no matter what.
As for the first topic with my redirect stuff, I'd like some help maybe. I'm guessing KirinDave would know a bit about it.

I like to download videos with TubeMate (an android app) (I like to save stuff to watch later/offline) and unfortuantely it just uses the standard home and doesn't have a way to bookmark pages.
ahh, when watching youtube on my phone I use safari, can't stand the youtube app, it's dreadful :/
you actually found an app that will download youtube vids? awesome. I personally hate the default recommendations screen, and also what the heck is the point of suggesting channels on the right scroll bar, if you're just going to recommend the channel after I click it away? I do NOT want to watch CaptainSparkles or any other LP'er that yells incessantly.
Although my subscription taste should be rather confusing to their algorithms
