KNN... you say I'm goog sucker ah? I actually like Chrome very much, after 1 day of using. Encountered a crash though and took the whole browser with it. But after restart, all my tabs came right back. Of course I'm smart to enable start with previous tabs option beforehand.
Well... not exactly single-threaded per se really but everything seems to be in one container and one single running process. So, theoretically if one tab goes wrong, the whole browser needs to close. But with Chrome, you have individual process for each tab and plugin. Flash plugin cannot work on Vista? Sure or not...? It works fine the whole day on my Vista Ultimate notebook...
no la i mean that guy who wrote the review for pc world. yeah i get what you mean but that's not the message the comic delivers. my experience has been rather positive but to say "Google has produced an excellent browser that is friendly enough to handle average browsing activities without complicating the tasks, but at the same time it's powerful enough to meet the needs of more-advanced users" when it was only launched less than 24 hrs ago, well he surely is a good sucker.
Ohh... haha... I still don't think it's recommended for users who relies heavily on add-ons/plugins. But with time, I pretty much think Chrome can be the standard and a very popular browser.
It's lightweight and contains one neat innovation (tabs in seperate processes) and... well that's about it. Maybe useful as a fast portable browser to run on flashdisks but in it's current state it provides nowhere near enough functionality for my desktop use. Maybe if it had an addon framework similar to firefox then it could snatch a win.
Everytab runs it's own process. That's why it's so fast. But damn. I love it! Hahaha! Using it now too! Edit: LOL. didn't realise this thread is 3 pages long already. Man, I love the amount of real estate Chrome gives to the web page. Super minimalist! Webkit based renderer too. Hmmm but the font anti-aliasing setting is not as smooth as Safari's
well, I'll say one thing. It's definitely not the BEST browser out there. i think that is still FF at the moment. But does Chrome has the potential? I think it does, especially if the extensions framework is good and has good community support. also, it's refreshing to have another party using the webkit framework on Windows. A lot of potential. So let's see how Google takes this on. FF is definitely in for a tough fight with Chrome now in the picture. Safari is fun and I like it too. But to be honest, it's just a whole world on it's own, the mac world that is. Haha!
LOL! Check out Dashky's link from my blog! Haha. Anyways. One more thought on Chrome, if it's skinable as how Safari did it, that'll be quite cool. Especially since both are based on webkit and we've seen how Safari skinned all the buttons when rendering the webpage
if i am browsing with 10 tabs. how do i know which tab go wrong? While it could be seen that FF is going to lose some share of the browser market. I'm more interested to see both FF and GC taking IE's share. I use GC and found it to be nice. the lack of ability to use middle mouse button to scroll really irks me. (note, mid mouse button, not wheel.) like what I highlighted in my Blog - Firefox was under Google's referral program before. Now Referral is no more there, and it was stopped in August. Google can't be referring FF when their GC is coming out.
I think it's OK if they keep the IE's share. It's already good enough to pressure them to release 2 major versions in like 3 years. I might go back to IE one day.
Question, if chrome really takes off in a big way, would goog still keen to pump $$$ into mozilla corp?
End the one which is using the most mem or CPU time? Or end the plugin. LMAO! I think so. The main thing is to take away IE's share. After IE is gone... then only the dual fight lo. But dunno need how many more years la. I like GC because it's so damn responsive... and more space to work with. Taking away the title bar is genius.
More competitiveness ma... Now it's 80+%... would be great to love it to like 50-60%... then everyone will really fight for it.
also, how can we be so sure that chrome's job is to take away MS IE's market share? so far, only the media is pushing this perspective. update: Google's Omnibox could be Pandora's box | Beyond Binary - A blog by Ina Fried - CNET News. Erm.. goog wants more than just IE's marketshare.
