you approve my disapproval?

Is this simply due to a belief that we have a fundamental right to protest or do you agree that Timmy’s face should not be altered in such an undignifying way?

by positiveuphemism on Sep 2, 2008 4:46 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I approve of WaLincecum. Just wanted to even out the points.

His upside down logo looks like LZ – what would that stand for?

So far it’s run almost everything I’ve seen faster than FF. Not gonna switch til it’s out of beta though. There’s still some quirks with forms and a few CSS issues.

by fwoty oz on Sep 2, 2008 4:47 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I just did

I was actually going to make a post about it. I’m in Chrome right now, actually.

by positiveuphemism on Sep 2, 2008 4:34 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

The first thing I noticed is more screen space

As opposed to FF and IE, i think, Chrome has no bottom bar or whatever it is called. Both FF and IE have a bar at the bottom that creates a frame, Chrome doesn’t have it. Also the toolbar(s) at the top take up less space that FF.

it did a nice job importing my stuff from FF. It has tabbed browsing…I prefer FFs way but this may be changable. Chromes tabs are above the taskbar.

by positiveuphemism on Sep 2, 2008 4:37 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

and the task manager is really nice

It should be helpful to be able to monitor each tabs memory/cpu usage.

by positiveuphemism on Sep 2, 2008 4:39 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

bleh

and here is something yucky. In FF to open a new tab you just hit ctrl+t. Here you have to click on a little plus sign at the top…unless there is a shortcut. If there is no ctrl+t i’ll just use FF.

by positiveuphemism on Sep 2, 2008 4:41 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Ctrl+T works for me in chrome. Try again?

Weird...now it is working

I wonder why it wasn’t before. So strange. IT’S A BUG!!!!

by positiveuphemism on Sep 2, 2008 4:47 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Oh wait...

Ctrl + t works…it’s double clicking on the tab bar that doesn’t create a new tab any more. It changes the window from max > a smaller window.

by positiveuphemism on Sep 2, 2008 4:58 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

It’s probably because the tab bar is the same as the title bar, which usually resizes whenever it’s double clicked in any application.

this makes sense

i suspect they will move the tab bar

by positiveuphemism on Sep 2, 2008 5:02 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I believe you’re referring to the Status Bar. I like having tabs on the edge of the border, but I wish I could move the tab bar to wherever I want it. I prefer having my tabs on the bottom of the screen.

It’s not out for the Mac yet, so I can’t use it – but it runs on WebKit, which is the same framework as Safari. I use another WebKit-based web browser, and threads work fine for me.
