Google Chrome, Day 2

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the lookit-all-them-stories dept.

Seems that almost every story submitted to Slashdot last night in some way involved Google's Chrome that we started talking about yesterday. Dotan Cohen noted that according to Clicky Chrome has hit 3% browser share. Since Google has decided to release Chrome only for Windows, I now share for you 3 reviews written by others: the first comes from alexy2k, the second from mildsiete, and the third from oli4uk. They all seem to feature various opinions, charts, and screenshots demonstrating various exciting points.

    Its not the fault of the web developer. If everyone used Firefox and/or Safari, pages would be made for it. Most web pages will have 50+% of their traffic be from IE users. If the majority of the people you are trying to sell to, advertise to or promote yourself to are using IE, then you make your web page look best in IE.

    Businesses don't care about standards, it cares about what sells.

    I'd rather have a javascript extension that will detect if you are using IE or a non-standards complaint browser and punch that user in the face.

    Its the users that need to learn, not the web developers.

    yes it is kind of them to store everything on their computers for you isn't it? That way they can "wink" "wink" analyze all of that anonymous data to benignly improve their business. That is until someone wants to know about someone specifically. Then I am sure that they know the contents of your refrigerator. How folks here can be so anti m/s yet think that google is serving mother's milk mystifies me.
