Google Chrome misreported as Safari in Turbo options

[Mr_Cynical]

When using the 'Turbo' option in the admin menu under Google Chrome, the browser is misreported as Safari (presumably because it uses the same WebKit base). It isn't a big deal as everything works fine, it's more of a cosmetic/polish issue caused by the browser sniffer being written before Chrome existed.

I don't really like the language :

You can disable it from your browser’s Options, Under the Hood menu.

Right-oh. But hang on, where is this Hood menu my browser's options are Under? :)

I'd suggest

You can disable it from the "Under the Hood" section of your browser's Options.

or even better,

You can disable it from the "Under the Hood" section of Google Chrome's Options.

since Safari is referred to by name, why not Chrome?

Safari has a menu that called... Safari (on Mac) and the menu in Chrome has really no name at all, just an icon.

Yes, alright. It is actually called the 'Google Chrome Menu', I wasn't referring to the menu. Anyway, I get your point.

How's the first suggestion then?

Why not just:

Gears is installed and enabled on this computer. You can disable it from Chrome's Tools > Options > Under the Hood dialog.

And yes, it is called the Tools menu (see ​here).

[caesarsgrunt]

Not sure about that - whilst is is certainly clear and understandable, it's not technically corect as Under the Hood isn't a dialog, but a tab, or page of a dialog. (Also, should we mention the Gears Settings dialog, which is the next step? Or are we assuming that's obvious?)

And yes, you're right, it's the Tools menu not the Chrome menu. Sorry... (But as said, I wasn't actually referring to the menu.)

Yes, but the whole thing is a dialog box. As for mentioning "Change Google Gears Settings", we don't mention anything like that for the other browsers, so I don't think it's necessary here. We could also link to that ​Google Help Article, which could provide users with more details.

Something like:

Gears is installed and enabled on this computer. You can disable it from Chrome's Tools > Options > Under the Hood dialog. For more details on disabling Gears, please see Google's help article.

Yes, but "Chrome's Tools > Options > Under the Hood dialog" means that Under the Hood is a dialog, which it isn't. (Actually I'm not sure that Options is even a dialog. Isn't it an options panel? Or is that Mac terminology?)
Maybe I'm being too pedantic, but I do think we should use correct terminology.

I don't think it's really necessary to mention the Tools menu - most people know how to open their browser's Options or can easily work out how.
Also, saying "Tools > Options > Under the Hood" implies nested menus, since that is the syntax normally used for describing menu actions.

How about

Gears is installed and enabled on this computer. You can disable it from the Under the Hood tab in Chrome's Options panel. For more details, please see ​Google's help page.

As for mentioning "Change Google Gears Settings", we don't mention anything like that for the other browsers, so I don't think it's necessary here.

No, maybe not. Or maybe it should mention it for the other browsers too. But it's probably OK without.

We could also link to that ​Google Help Article, which could provide users with more details.

Yes, good idea. I have done so in my suggested text, above.
