Google Releases Chrome 2.0 Pre-Beta
Nick Fletcher writes "Just a few short months after the initial release, Google has released a pre-beta version of Google Chrome 2.0. It sports a few new features including form auto-completion, full-page zoom, 'profiles,' and Greasemonkey support. It seems the only notable feature would be profiles, which allows users to separate out their homepage, history, and bookmarks on a per user or category basis. It seems Google is still playing catch-up but they're definitely moving at a pace unknown to some of their competition. The full list of new features is available in the release notes."
The fact that Firefox is stinking pile of shit that only compares favorably to ancient versions of IE should calm the incompetent little brains working on FF that anyone would ever want to steal their shitty technology.
Google was forced to create Chrome exactly because FF was such a stinking pile of outdated tech with its horrendous single threaded/single address space Javascript implementation. Hell, even fucking Microsoft now has multi-threaded/protected memory for its Javascript.
That's got to be the ultimate humiliation for the idiots working on FF after all the shit talk about FF >>>>> IE.
No sympathy though, the FF devs spent years flaming everyone over their massive memory leaks due to the single address space for every single thing inside of the browser instead of getting their shit together and doing the ground up rewrite Google and Microsoft have already done.
This should be yet another reminder that both the GPL and Linux licenses require companies to create Linux versions of all of their products or face the dreaded +5 Funny Post of Mockery on Slashdot.
No wait, it's not required. It's the 'spirit' of the license that Google has gravely transgressed.
No wait, IT'S STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM GPL BASED PRODUCTS IN YOUR COMPANY.
Stick to free and non viral licences like the BSD and other and you'll be safe.
I mean, I listened to an on the radio, contacted the company and saved my company about 60K in HR expenses - if I were as smart as you, maybe I would've skipped the ad.
If you outsourced to another country, I hope you get Ebola and die.
