Also, yes, I am a Windows user. So? I dont see any problem. I embraced my Microsoft soul long ago and I am happy together with my boyfriend (who is a cute hippie macfag!). We have a fucking lot of friends in and outside of the vendor lock-in and I am pretty intelligent and well-educated. But thanks anyway asshole. Go and compile your stupid ebuilds shit while I have SEX with my computer.

Also, where the fuck is the source to this thing. I want to try to get it to run on my system (gNewSense).

This really sounds like a good plan. I read the whole "comic". The ideas there are definately good. Especially the low integrity part. FF is still medium.

Presumably just to import settings from Firefox, not to use for its own shit.

I think you mean Javascript VM. Thankfully, Java applets are pretty much dead.

Why the fuck didn't they just use THE GODDAMN ERLANG since it already does all this shit? Nooooo, Google simply HAS to rewrite everything from scratch and release nothing but buggy "BetaTM" shit.
>>30 The Google Chrome user-agent shows that Chrome is actually WebKit 525.13 (Safari 3.1), which is an outdated/vulnerable version of that browser. lol
That doesn't make sense. How can the tab process drop files onto the desktop when it's in low integrity mode and isn't allowed to create files?

Google continues to jump more and more sharks. But hey, they have to spend all that search revenue on something, and justify their employment of tons of people.
So yeah, they're all "other browsers all do this, but we're doing that, which is much smarter", except NO THEY DON'T, Opera already does almost all of the UI things of that, and that's where they stole them from. The only thing they might improve on is not fucking crashing when that hunk of incompetently written junk Flash inevitably blows up like the piece of shit it is. Otherwise it's fast and stable as a monolithic process can be, and I don't want to replace that with ten wobbly resourche hogs that can't share cache.
I suppose open source and plugins counts for something... Have we got details on the plugin API yet?

The threaded tabs are a huge advantage when you have one tab where a fuckton of Javascript is processing. In every other browser I've used, that just locks up the entire browser.
It's not a situation a lot of average users find themselves in very often, but it's a great change for me personally.

I haven't had Flash tank my browser, but any .mov file that decides to play in the browser with the quicktime plugin instead of bring up a save/open dialog blows my shit to shit.

You know, Google is acting more and more like Microsoft, with them now claiming that their features are new and innovative, when they really aren't. I wonder if Billy G stepped down from MS to pursue more profit over at Google behind the scenes?

So all they did was take an existing rendering engine and put a new UI on it?

Read the comic, dude. It's not about the rendering engine.
This is the problem with a browser where the really interesting features are things like Javascript performance and threading: stupid people will never understand it.

They aren't doing anything that every browser from here on out is going to be doing.
I visited http://chrome.on.nimp.org with my Google Chrome, and, oh wow, yeah, that's where safe web browsing is, yeah. Just close all these 500 processes, and your browser is usable again. yeah. You should try it too, why should I be the only one to suffer?.

It limits itself to 20 processes. After that, it re-uses processes at random. (This is likely to change.)

They screwed up and copy-pasted their usual EULA to avoid having to pay too much to their lawyers. Maybe you should learn to read (scroll down on the page you linked).
