FlicknHuck (1:35:48 PM): isn’t chrome supposed to be available for beta dload today?
amitc2001 (1:35:59 PM): yeah, probably by the end of today
FlicknHuck (1:36:10 PM): sheeeeit
FlicknHuck (1:36:37 PM): The reason I use firefox is because of firebug and scribefire
FlicknHuck (1:36:51 PM): google chrome may be fast but it won’t have the features initially.
FlicknHuck (1:36:58 PM): interested to try it regardless
amitc2001 (1:37:17 PM): yeah, im guessing it’ll get as much as marketshare as safari
FlicknHuck (1:37:33 PM): that’s not much at all
amitc2001 (1:37:41 PM): IE has a lot of marketshare because of windows default browsing and firefox has all the add-ons u need
FlicknHuck (1:37:42 PM): seems like a safari clone though
amitc2001 (1:37:45 PM): yeah
FlicknHuck (1:37:56 PM): they’ve amped up the javascript engine
FlicknHuck (1:38:17 PM): I never felt javascript was too slow on any page
FlicknHuck (1:38:32 PM): and they’re open sourcing that portion of it too
FlicknHuck (1:38:41 PM): so it’ll just be absorbed into other browsers
amitc2001 (1:38:50 PM): yeah it will
amitc2001 (1:39:08 PM): i could see firefox absorbing that sandbox tabbing feature into their own browser
FlicknHuck (1:39:41 PM): what’s the sandbox tab feature?
FlicknHuck (1:39:53 PM): Is that how it only kills the tab instead of the browser if the page dies?
amitc2001 (1:40:57 PM): yeah
amitc2001 (1:41:04 PM): how each tab has it’s own memory process
FlicknHuck (1:41:19 PM): That makes sense.
FlicknHuck (1:41:53 PM): We’ll see how their launch goes
amitc2001 (1:42:00 PM): yeah
FlicknHuck (1:42:08 PM): If they put up a download link right on their search page then this might get serious.
FlicknHuck (1:42:15 PM): I wonder what Mozilla is thinking
FlicknHuck (1:42:42 PM): Mozilla to Google: ‘HOW DARE YOU!?”
amitc2001 (1:43:13 PM): CEO of mozilla
FlicknHuck (1:44:12 PM): He’s cool with it.
FlicknHuck (1:44:14 PM): *laugh*
amitc2001 (1:44:18 PM): hahah yeah]
FlicknHuck (1:44:34 PM): “They announced it with a COMIC BOOK… HONESTLY!”
amitc2001 (1:44:44 PM): hahahaha
FlicknHuck (1:46:34 PM): I’m don’t think I’m switching from Firefox anytime soon.
amitc2001 (1:47:11 PM): me neither
