Be Excellent To Each Other

You should use their "PORN MODE!" (pg 22 or 23 of the comic) more.

Chrome does the insta-scroll-to-bottom with my laptop's scroll-edge too. The only downside so far, apart from being a bit worried about the simplicity of the cookie settings after Firefox's (more trouble than it's worth at times) whitelist.

Drag-resizeable textareas (like the one you write a post in, look at the bottom-right corner of it) are an awesome touch.

Is putting the Google logo at the right of the titlebar instead of using the standard Windows drawing strictly necessary, though?

This is why god invented tabs. Simply middle click your way up the "read unread posts" links.

Backing back to the index after every tab would piss me off.

This is quite nice. There doesn't seem to be much in the way of options though.

needs mouse-gestures.

They've been in Safari for a while.

What? Where?

?

I hit the back button. Y'know, to go back.



For a static page, I totally agree. For a page that is dynamically generated, I totally disagree.

Which is why they're in Chrome—it's got the same guts. That said, Chrome bizarrely supports less CSS than Safari, which is a bit mental.

refesh database tables to prevent sql inkections must they do. And have pictures of boobies.

After every thread? Possibly backing up multiple pages if it was a long thread?

Fuck that.

If I hit back in FF then I get no refresh, so I rarely use back, I just click on "Be Excellent To Each Other" (or "General Discussion") at the top there when I have finished reading a topic, and then lo and behold automatic updates.

After using it last night, I think it will need some getting used to, also, I was playing some flash game (ant buster) and after about 15 minutes or so it hung. No problem thought I, I will just close the tab, and that will be problem solved. I clicked the cross, and nothing happened, I tried changing tabs, nothing happened, the whole app had frozen, after a bit more clicking I (and the flash game's music stuttering every now and again) eventually the tab was closed, but still everything was sluggish and horrible. So I tried to close chrome, but nothing happened. In the end I had to "end task" it. I thought the whole point of chrome was so that you didn't need to do all that crap?!!?!?

I guess I will keep an eye out for future releases, but for now I will stick with FF

I've never used Safari, so haven't seen it before. Old or new, it's still awesome.
In the title bar (at the top, with the minimise, maximise and close buttons at the right), where normally you'd have the system icon in the top-left corner of a window, then "Google Chrome" next to it. Instead they've hidden those and shoved the Google logo at the right - that is, 'Google' written in the font Google use to write 'Google', instead of having a proper logo. Pointless, silly work, especially when being fast and light is a benefit they're claiming.

So... The left, then?

I notice google chrome doesn't allow middle mouse click for fetching up the draggy scroll thing. This is something I use all the time. Though today Firefox has started crashing when I right click.

Hmm. Just had a download. It really does behave like Safari so far. Even down to hating iframes with a passion.

I really shouldn't have used them in my new site. I think I'm going to have to look for an alternative way of loading content pages into a common surround.

I don't see this logo.

My browser looks like this:

Warning: Big


It's quite cool, but it's a bit annoying in a few ways. With regards to this forum: The fact it doesn't have a TITLE BAR anywhere means Ican't tell which fucking thread I'm in! edit: Also, it doesn't work with facebook. Some of the little pop-up boxes don't pop-up. I submitted a bug report, of course =]

edit2: I couldn't sign up to photobucket with it properly

So anything you do online with Chrome gets Google a royalty-free licence? Nice.

As does mine.

All your data are belong to us.

Pod, you have two unread messages.

Wow. That's incredible.

Read the rest of the debate on Slashdot, it's likely not even true. Stupid slashdot summaries. You can also get the identical open source build from source control http://www.chromium.org and get it with no EULA.

Posted on the Guardian blogs, see if they pick up on it.

Gaywood has the time to read them all because, of course, the EvE server has shut down

I know! I read them now.
BETEO should really pop up a flashing box or something.

.. And one of them was "Pod, you have an unread message"

It's in the control panel.

Unfortunately not! It would have been most amusing if it was. TERRIBLY AMUSING.

So why didn't you do it?

I'm not here to provide you with amusement, Pod

Now, this chrome thing. Nice. Is there a way to switch off image loading? 'Cos otherwise, I'm not really going to be using it..

That's the one thing that confused me. It appears to be the least customisable browser in existance.

It wouldn't be so bad if there was even an about:config page; I don't mind digging around in a beta. But there doesn't seem to be anything. It's fast though.

Bizarre, mine looks like this

It was only in the process of this comparison that I've noticed they're using Vista-style buttons instead of XP, too. Tsk tsk (I'm running it on XP, obviously).

Ooh Mr. La-di-da and his XP - I haven't got to play with this yet at all, Mac at home and Windows 2000 Professional at work.

It won't take long for patches on Chromium to appear, I'm sure. Chrome already has an about:plugins.

These things may be connected.

Indeed, which is why I'm not wielding a pitchfork*

I'm impressed so far, anyway. Hopefully they won't fuck it up.



*Man, if anyone ever riots over a browser, they need shooting**

**Except IE, which itself needs shooting.

Apart from the slight speed increase and the big blue arrow when you download something, there is nothing about Chrome that impresses me, and those two are certainly not enough to stop me being fucked off that I have to test my sites in yet another cocking web browser. Hopefully this will go the same way as Google Talk.

edit: ffs. Just copy and paste it :/

Yeah, that doesn't work either.

Seriously, people - writing an 'options' GUI is primary school stuff. What's with this about: bollocks?

From what I've seen of IE8, I'll only be using it to test sites in. FF3 all the way for anything else.

Like richardgaywood said earlier, the search in page function is neat. I like how in the side scroll bar there are lines that show where the found items are.

And there are little things I like, for example when pasting an address in to the address bar there is a paste and go option. And the application shortcuts. (Only really used Firefox and IE, so don't know if these features are else where). And it loads so much faster than firefox, which I just ended up keeping open because it takes so long.

It does need a whole load more features though. Why isn't there easy syncing of bookmarks though Google Bookmarks for example.

Opera has had this for a while. I'm amazed that other browsers haven't nicked it before now.

I've had a play now and my final rating is "meh". In its current state, it beats IE, but I'd sooner use Firefox 3 or Opera on Windows. On Mac, I'd say Safari slightly bests it, too. (Having not used Safari/Win for ages, I've no idea what that browser's like on Windows.)

Maybe someone mentioned and my lack of focus failed to see it, but the little 'Google' image is there if you view Chrome at default window size, while it vanishes should one maximise the browser.

My 'thoughts': Liked it a lot. Big window makes scrolling more fun (I write that as though scrolling is inherently fun), makes pages appear faster. Like the minimalism.

As time went on, opening new tabs slowed. Then it crashed entirely, taking the functionality of iTunes with it (a split-second of music rapidly repeating like a damaged CD). Had to reboot. I never had that kind of woe with FF3.

Still, it did mean I found myself near a radio and remembered to listen to Mark Watson. He is a funny jokemaker.

Betas?

i'm using but until they put something like costumized searches on top right corner i won't be using it again

edit: and i don't get the motion scrolling if i hit the middle button

I wanna search like Batman. Or maybe a Police man. Or <explodes>

People still use hotlink protection? FFS.
