Slashdot Mirror
Google Chrome, Day 2
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.
Oh, wow! So that's where they hid "reopen closed tabs" at! Thank you so much!
Wow, you found the comic entertaining? I've got some buckets of paint that are going up on walls soon. Want to buy some tickets for the drying? Only $5 for the lawn tickets, $20 for the reserved seating.
Well.. maybe. Or Maybe not. But Definitely not sort of.
No AdBlock is available yet, I'm afraid. Other people are equally surprised. :)
Google Chrome: Day 2, article number four. :)
So, uh, what happens if someone else logs into their google account, then?

That's basically the same UA string as Safari. IE pretends to be Mozilla, Safari pretends to be Gecko and KHTML, Chrome pretends to be Safari.
Do you even lift?
These aren't the 'roids you're looking for.
Hell, gmail is still in beta. If that's any indicator, the beta period for Chrome will be a couple of years...
Well, I guess this'll make getting a job at Google interesting...
What's dotslash?
It won't be long, someone will use the code-base and make a less snooping type browser from it, adding it's new name. Perhaps, all shiny or some such.
Wow, sent an e-mail as suggested when clicking on "use classic" banner, and got a fast response that addressed my msg
"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."

It's the Soviet Russian port of slashdot
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.
What's dotslash?
It's the residual version of slashdot where all the adverts which were blocked from slashdot by adblock go. They have to go somewhere or the tubes would get full up and burst.
Google Chrome is so good, it may actually make me delete my Linux partition to load up Vista. If the standard notion of a client u/i was alive before, it is surely dead now. Chrome is a game changer and this release of a web browser may well exceed the impact of the original Netscape...
It's remarkable, how fast it is.
This is my sig.
Agreed. I often want a lot of my data stored for simple convenience, but incognito lets me browse "undesirable" sites without clearing all of my data after the fact.
As soon as Stumbleupon is released for Chrome, it could very well be my primary browser.
There was an article?
you are a spoilt unix user its /. and not ./
You want to see something even scarier?!?
Simply press ctl-shift-home-alt-up-F4-F8-F12, tab twice, open and close your cdrom three times, hold scroll lock for 8 seconds, press crl-backspace, tab two more times and then click here.
When I have a kid, I want to put him in one of those strollers for twins and then run around the mall looking frantic.
2. There are ads on ./!!
There are adds on run last command?
/.ers reading off of lynx?
Or is this a clever way of buffer overrun for
lol: You see no door there!
Worst "profit" joke ever.

Anyway, I don't know anything about Chrome. Apparently, whatever it is, there isn't a version for my platform, so I'm not going to download it. I know that's just a fact about me, but you all need to hear it. I'm not going to download it, I say. And because the whole universe is based on my experience I can categorically say that this means that Chrome has lost the browser war. So obviously Google have screwed up their strategy royally because if I don't want to download Chrome, why would anyone else?
Apparently it doesn't have adblock. I don't know what adblock is, but from reading the other comments it's obviously the most important part of a browser. How could Google leave it out?
Anyway, I've said my piece. Google are a doomed company. In fact, here's a graph to prove it:
You can't argue with statistics!
Doesn't it make you feel good to know that our freedoms are protected by politicans, lawyers and journalists.
It was a meta-review.
Ditto! Wow you actually do find useful stuff on /. Only too me 6 years to find that out.... :)
CS: It is all sink or swim...oh and did I mention there are sharks in that water?
Won't somebody think of the ads!

Oh, and I forgot to ask - why has Taco linked to a "review" by someone who openly admits to not having even downloaded the product!?
What's wrong with that?
Nothing's more intellectually consistent on Slashdot than an editor posting a link to an article they didn't read for viewers of the site who have no intention of reading it about a product that the reviewer didn't even look at.
The fact that 2 of 3 links are dead and the other hangs up my browswer only puts the cherry on top!
If it's for-profit but free, you're not the customer -- you're the product (e.g., the Slashdot Beta's "audience").
