Chrome, Google's New Browser - Page 3

Mak213 · 09-02-2008, 10:10 PM

Thanks Trotter. Would have never guessed to click the Star. I have nto see the Google updater running yet. Will have to keep a eye on that.

But i figured there would be a catch to seeing more Google ads in teh browser. Why else create this browser without the intent to make more of their own ads viewable.

Be sure to read Chrome's fine print | Beyond Binary - A blog by Ina Fried - CNET News

I caught Google Updater running iin my processes. That's the very reason I uninstalled Lively...

Yeah, I caught that too. Haven't come across fine print like that before....

Yeah i beat you. Added it to your other thread when i found the download page earlier today.

Yeah only if you could add some firefox extensions, that would top it off. Has some really nice features and very light weight. Just need a net usage meter on it or the desktop.

Well this is based on Safari so there will not be that option. But it does work with Google Gears.

Gears

So you imght be able to do something with that.

This is still a Beta version, so extensions and themes may be in the works. So far, I'm pretty impressed with it.

Mak213 · 09-02-2008, 11:40 PM

I still highly doubt that it will support extensions. It is not based on Gecko which all those extensions are used for. You would have to find Safari based extensions to use with it.

2 different rendering engines. Just like trying to use a Firefox extension in IE or Opera. Different engines wont use them correctly.

Plus Google wouldnt make anything from them. They will get more "Gears" and have them be more closely tied into the browser before you see a Firefox extension supported.

Wow, trying it out now by posting on Tech Forums with it...

... things seem to be noticeably faster than Firefox... or am I just imagining it?

I could never betray Firefox... could I?

Not without bringing my add-ons with me.

This sure seems nice though!

If this isn't the opinion thread... please hate me forever for my ignorance.
