Dear All, I am in Sudan and I have just downloaded and installed Google Chrome (Standalone Offline Installer) version 4. Nothing is really blocked from these countries – it is just more difficult to get what you want/need, that’s all! You need to search hard, try using languages other than English! In the end you’ll find what you want. I have all the latest updates for windows XP, of course not from MS! If there is a will, there’s a way. No strut! If google was really serious about this, they would block all of their service from these countries (notice my email account: …@gmail.com ) Cheers!

This is very much to do with US embargos on those countries; those embargos are separate from the US’s list of state sponsors of terrorism (though there’s a lot of correlation between the lists). These embargos prohibit the trade of goods and services to those countries. More here:

the solution to all this SRware Iron.SRware Iron is based on chromes sourcecode minus the googles objectives…no tracking ..no information is sent to google in any form…the latest version of iron uses latest webkit version ..latest chrome uses slightly older version…

This is some sort of like an embargo. Maybe there has been some sort of trade embargo between countries. I have visited The Emma Academy Project before, and a school will be built in Leer, Sudan to support the education of the children there.

I hesitate to use even upgraded versions of Chrome, since my last experience using it (first version) left my computer compromised; have they fixed the security issues beyond all doubt?
