Questions[google-chrome](server)

I have a webapplication which uses claims based authentication. The STS is ADFS 2.0. When I am in the intranet and use IE, IWA is used and no login dialog appears. When I am on the internet zone, the Forms based authentication of ADFS is used. Just what I want.

Chrome and FireFox are also working as expected when I am in the internet zone. But when I am in the intranet zone, both come with a login dialog, instead of using IWA. And supplying my credentials in that dialog does not work, it keeps repeating the dialog.

Any hints?

UPDATE: Did about an hour searching on the internet before I asked this question. But after asking it I did just another search giving the answer :-), matter of finding the correct keywords.

I'm trying to setup group policy for Google Chrome (http://support.google.com/installer/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=146164) particularily I'm working on setting up the Configuring the list of force-installed extensions. I can find the extension ID by looking in tools-extensions in Google Chrome but I cannot find the update URL for extensions like Adblock or Google Mail Checker, where would I find these?

We are trying to deploy Google Chrome across our corporate network, but we're finding that it takes 2-4X longer to load an https page (particularly our own internal ones) compared to IE. Has anyone experienced this and found a fix?

Update

Based on Handyman5's suggestion, I ran some diagnostics in Chrome, and found that the largest amount of time (over 90% on each page) was being spent on pulling static files from Cache and rendering the page. However, if I turn off SSL on our site, this is almost instantaneous.

Any thoughts on why this would be?

Has anyone rolled out Google Chrome to a medium / large organisation?

I would like to suggest it to our management (because I think it would work very nicely with some of our intranet applications), and I would like to find out what problems (if any) the rest of the world has been experiencing with it.

Have you found any problems?
I'm thinking of enterprise-level problems. I'm thinking that we can solve anything that requires a specific configuration / proxy setting / etc.
I don't really know what I think might be a problem, but I wonder if there are any usability problems that occur when non-geeks use it? Or problems which only rear their ugly heads when you've got 50 users all doing something unexpected.

Any helpful information or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

UPDATED: We tend to use Microsoft stuff, so Sharepoint, IIS, SQL Server, are typical building blocks of internal sites. (Thanks, @Jim, for reminding me to mention that).

The I.T. dept is considering allowing installation and automated deployment of Google Chrome browser to 100+ desktops. One of the requirements is for domain credentials to be passed through. The desired behaviour is the same as Internet Explorer.

An issue has come up when browsing intranet resources. Intranet sites which require Active Directory authentication are showing the "Authentication Required" dialog.

For each site, you have to enter your domain credentials.

Question: Does Google Chrome currently, or plan to, support passthrough Windows authentication? If so, how do you configure this security setting?
