Google's browser

[sppunk]

Not really.

But the guy who posted the blog looks a bit like Monte.

i just read about this and came on netphoria to see if anyone was talking about it.

i think i will give it a shoot, but i have come to like firefox very much

[Floppy Nono]

yeah whats great about this? i kind of skimmed it but nothing stood out. what makes this browser a contender?

[MonteLDS]

i am not sure FN

it kind of reminded me of the many versions (flavors) of Linux when i read

We've used components from Apple's WebKit and Mozilla's Firefox,

[Travis Meeks]

no, I'm more pumped about redbull sticking fingers in bitches and walking them around the room like a wheelbarrow.

[MonteLDS]

kind of reminds me of a Pokemon ball

[ravenguy2000]

[barden]

I'm pumped.

[MonteLDS]

Pokemon and Simon Says have join forces for CHROME

[MonteLDS]

so this is the "cartoon drawing" of the browser. the location of the tabs look to be in an inconvenient spot. but I guess they are trying to be different.

[MonteLDS]

i like this idea. the browser will have its own task manager.

This is the first I have heard of it. I'll probably try it and then go back to what I always use.

[Andrew_Pakula]

Firefox. And I only started using that because Internet Explorer kept freezing on me.

Monte made the comic:

[The Jesus]

I see a few features lifted straight from the other main browsers in Chrome.

[Ever]

Multi-processing is the real selling point, and that private tab is a great idea too.

[yoshinobu's revenge]

i was surprised how in depth the webcomic was.

i agree using multiple processes should help a lot. most of the time my browser is the main app open on my PC anyway. i'm interested to know how they made precise garbage collection faster than automatic garbage management.

i'm not won over by the full-text search context in the url bar, nor the putting the tabs at the very top (really, who cares? and i already have my faves and plugin toolbars in between my url bar and tabs anyway).

interesting that they went with webkit for the rendering engine.

private tab is cool altho the distrust plugin for firefox does that already. nice to have it a built in feature tho.

Wah wah wah. Another over-hyped browser no-one really needs.

We've even outsourced Monte now? This country is really on a downhill slide.

Connecting you to IT*.

[JokeyLoki]

I like its simplicity. Wish it had addons.

[Andrew_Pakula]

Its available for download now.

I've only used it for a few minutes but it feels fast, loads pages faster then Firefox or IE, very simplistic and not bloated.

Does it block ads, aka AdBlock+?
