Chrome does occasionally have trouble with ancestry.co.uk (as it does with other forms to varying degrees in my experience) but you shouldn't have to do anything to fix it, and if the instructions are from 2010 then they are very out of date so just ignore them. These things eventually either come

An OS from google can only be a good thing for ubuntu, getting peoples heads around the idea of alternative OSs. More high profile choices will equal more progress.
