I've just checked market typed chrome & its first on list.
Also check your location with Market Place as some countries will not show all the apps that US or UK will show...
I downloaded the apk from google's dev site and copy it to my device. After that install the apk file using default package manager and it works.

okay here is my problem. If i remember, i took Adfree program or another similar ad blocker (for what i remember, its was simple to install)
My life was nice, no more ads in my free version of angry birds etc...BUT
am an hockey fan and i go on a site to view videos report of my team. The problem is when i try to watch thoses vids streaming, normaly theres a 15sec ad vid before the one i wanna see, but cause of that adfree program, i cant see the vid anymore, it is just loading and nothing is happening. Here is a screenshot
For your information, i tryed with my desktop computer and it work fine, i tryed uninstall and reinstall flash and it runs perfect on other sites.
So i wanted to remove the adfree program but it is not showing anywhere in my apps running or installed.
1- Anyone have a clue?
One more thing, i did rooted my tab with success, i can use rom manager but yesterday i tryed to open Titanium backup and it told me my tab wasnt rooted...
i see the superuser icon in my apps so..
2- Any clues on that one too?
Thanks for ur help
if you have cwr then install a custom rom on your tab, I recommended one of task's they come with internet ads blocked and flash view work fine, and are just better than stock roms in every way

reboot the device,
1. check for the adfree or adblock app in the application manager.
2. try to reload the titanium backup couple of times or check in the superuser whether titanium backup is allowed for root access.
To Beta : i dont want to install any custom rom for now, but thanks for ur advice

1- i closed and started device like 10 times since i got this problem, i checked in app manager installed, running, all, cant find any track of an ad blocker program. i also checked with file manager HD
2- Fixed for titanium
please help me for #1
I think you granted temporary root permissions to Titanium Backup, so if you close the app, and open it again, you have to grant root again. You should click on "remember" checkbox.
Another thing you can do, is to open update SuperUser app from the Market, and then, open it, and go to Settings ---> Check binary SU updates, so you have the latest SU binary version.
About the flash thing, i have no idea, but.. have you tried with another Browser?? (Personally, i use Opera. Works like a charm. Really fast & smooth).
Hope i helped,g ood luck bro!

As i stated in post #4, problem is fixed for Titanium backup
My Main Problem is still there though.
Its not a question of using a diff browser, i want to delete/uninstall the adfree app from my tab dot.
The thing is that i cant find it anywhere, i even tryed to open titanium to see if adfree apps is showing so i cant delete data, but its not showing.
So i really need help now because i dont know where to look to find this freaking app and remove it.
Adfree or adblocker or whatever the name is, is not showing :
In app manager (running, installed, all)
In Titanium backup
In file manage HD (well i dont know exactly where to search but havent find anything with a similar name)
plz help
EDIT:
More info
usually when u install an app and u go back to the market, its say "open" instead of "install" well for adfree it still tell me "install"
Now i also searched a bit on the forum and i found some ad blocker program can be use without installing anything but by replacing an Host files.
I dont remember if it was my case, maybe since it doesnt seem that a have any adfree app installed BUT
I usually keep a copy of everything i put on my tab, and been around computer world for long enough to do a "backup" of any file i would replace.
I've looked on my pc, no sign of any host files that i dl or backuped.
So im totally out of anwsers.
One thing for sure, i did install something to removes ads and it work.
For the love of god, please help me !!

Try to uninstall it with titanium. Or use a file manager, navigate to /data/app, find the apk and delete it!

Guys, i appreciate your help but please READ,
the app is not showing anywhere, so how can i uninstall something that i cant see.
please go back to this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19412507&postcount=6
i really need help with the host files
i want to get back to default (ads allowed)
where to go ?
What you have to do is manually edit/replace the host file with a stock one.
Go to /system/etc/ and remove all the entries from the file named 'hosts' except the following one
127.0.0.1 localhost
OR
flash this zip in CWM

you can try updating the /system/etc/hosts file with
127.0.0.1 localhost
then reboot it.

Just a wild guess, but what browser are you using? Is it possible you installed the adblocker not as an app, but as a browser add-on extension? If so, you should be able to remove it from within the browser or make an exception rule for that one site.

am using the default web browser and like i wrote before.
I changed the hosts file following this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=509997
the hosts file i changed is the one located in /system/etc/hosts
the problem is that i didnt backup this file before replacing it, i never do that but it seem this time i did it.
So im looking for either the original host file or a way to put an exception for the site i want.

I rooted my nook tablet with the SnowballMod root and everything is working fine, but some of the apps in the android market are missing. I have tried editing the build.prop file and clearing the market data and cache to spoof the market, but it still wont work. does anybody have ANY ideas?
theres not some, more like a lot and thats normal cuz its happening to everyone. apps that dont appear on the market have to be downloaded as .apk files and then transferred to your nooks sd card i use drop box and es file explorer for this procedure
how would i do this? how close are the people to fixing this and being able to install custom roms? i need facebook.
sideloading if it is not working from market.

It's not technically broken. The market should not show you apps for which your device does not meet the requirements. That doesn't meet they don't work, but that you have to install them another way. After updating my phone to ICS, I had to sideload Tapatalk, since it is not "technically" compatible with ICS, even though it does work.

1) Use the web app (it's pretty good, and doesn't have any background processes)

Are you installing from Google Play .

No. I put the .apk file on my phone and tried to install from the phones file manager. I also tried ASTRO but still nothing ...

Then try redownloading the apk file. Maybe download is corrupt or something.
And if possible, use google play
Astro is just root explorer that can be used to explore root files. It doesnt have anything regarding installation of APKs (apps) unless they have to be thrown directly into FS.
I tried to redownload, I also downloaded from another mirror...
I can't download from the store because what I'm trying to install is a full cracked version...
I guess something in ICS doesn't allow the installation of these kinds of APKs...

You need to install (flash) gapps.zip from recovery mode.
copy zip file to your sd card.
from recovery mode, choose install zip from sd card
select zip file and install it. then reboot system.
