    I have to agree man. Its one of Google's best ideas besides...well google!

    Doesn't look like a few of the sites I use regularly are set to work with Chrome... (not that it's chrome's fault).

    Trend MLS (www.trendmls.com) is basically hard coded to only work with Explorer 6 or higher. It won't let you log in with any other browser..

    i have been using the forefox since long coz it provided me with better options than IE. but with the launch of google chrome time has come that i switch into this one.. I am really happy about the memory usage since i am using a low memory RAM. Great work!!

    When you talk of the memory footprint, are you using FF2 or FF3? I have yet to install FF3 because only about half of the add-ons I use are compatible with it, but I have heard that it's supposed to be less of a memory hog than FF2.

    Google's Chrome is aimed at Windows, not IE

    This is no longer about browser but about the an entire marketplace spread between desktop, mobile and web. With Chrome, Google's taking a shot at Windows, not paltry Internet Explorer

    I've covered this in more detail on my blog

    "We are so, so happy with Google Chrome," mumbled Mozilla CEO John Lilly through gritted teeth. "That most of our income is from Google has no bearing on me making this statement." http://notnews.today.com/?p=57

    Only thing I don't like about it so far is I always use that little scroll-wheel in the center of my mouse to click on links so that they automatically open in a new tab when I'm using FF3. I can't figure out if there is a way to get that to work in Chrome.

    I always read through blogs like SA and open tabs on any story I'm interested in and then go back and read them later one by one...

    Oh shoot... I've been trying to post that comment and keep getting some error message, I didn't realize the comment was actually getting through, sorry....
  • Sphagnum · 1 year ago
    Error

    Unable to load the following extension file:

    ext.email_confirm.php

    That's the error message btw...

    Dang!
    That must be due to the left-leaning code that's written into chrome.
    Maybe this site has been marked as subversive to the left?

    well at least I learned how to open things up in a new tab without holding down the Control key now.
