Google made a browser. It's awesome. Get it.

Why it's awesome.

Where you will be getting it.

Just downloaded it a few seconds ago. It is pretty awesome. Nearly full screen browsing, and it loads like a million things at once.

Is there an option to turn off tabbed browsing, before I even bother?

Why...why...

Why would you ever do that. cry.gif
Shiri2008-09-03 02:44:11
Because tabbed browsing makes me look like that guy whose browser autocompletes something other than what he wants.
Xavius2008-09-03 02:44:26
Turn off tabbed browsing? Doubt it, but I'll look. Doing tabs better is one of the selling points. Being able to pull out tabs into their own windows, put tabs back into a window, and have single tabs crash without crashing your whole browser.

I am viewing this through Google Chrome and it is indeed epic. It is greased lightning.

I was using Chrome, it was nice, very light weight... defintily going to get expanded as time goes on. (no firebug, no flash tracer, etc)

But my question is... why did google stock drop so much after the release? sad.gif
Daganev2008-09-03 03:40:23
oi, page 10 of why chrome is awesome really scares me... web standards are going to be based on marketing campaigns of large companies, rather than just good standards. sad.gif

I got to like page 29, but then accidentally clicked back and couldn't be arsed clicking all the way forward again since there was no "archive"...heh.

I just downloaded it, and wow it's fast and nice and all sorts of other non-technical terms. I believe I am in love, at least until it crashes on me.
Doman2008-09-03 03:59:09
hmm, i couldn't run java on it, so, no nexus with it
Daganev2008-09-03 04:03:57
the complete focus on ###### and html makes me sad.
Daganev2008-09-03 04:04:26
lol... ja va script is a bad word.
Xavius2008-09-03 04:05:10
Like the forums automatically edit out saying ###### in a post?

EDIT: ...wtf, it does!
Doman2008-09-03 04:07:11
O_o What the heck is a dirty word, Java Script?
Xavius2008-09-03 04:08:05
Yes, if you type it as one word, it automatically gets edited out. I'm so using that as my new forum swear word. This auto-censor deal is a load of Java.
Acrune2008-09-03 04:08:31
Bet its a security thing.

Edit: Oh, and I downloaded it, its very cool.
Stangmar2008-09-03 06:35:43
Daaaaaaamn. This browser is the ######
So smooth and fast.

Most likely the forums block out Java script as one word to prevent potential XSS attacks.

However it doesn't strip out java followed by a newline then script, and some browsers will interpret that as java script (as one word).
