Google Launches New Web Browser

As told above, I have FF 2.X.  What has happened to version 3.X if you mean that that is better on accessibility than Opera?

As they are in FF 2.X so something may definitely have happened in version 3.X.

• Have you ever tried Opera?
• Have you tried the accessibility feature I described above?

The only thing I know is improved in the my version of FF compared to older versions is how XML documents are shown in the browser.

So there may be some new features in Version 3.X, but since I desperately need FireBug with FireFox and because of what was written on WPW that FF 3.0 was not compatible with FireBug, I can not install the latest version.  You may know more than me.

Did you note this http://www.webpronews.com/topnews/2008/09/02/google-shines-up-chrome-web-browser article?

"It’s pretty strong on the security front. Chrome sandboxes Webpages, preventing drive-by downloads and installations. It continuously makes contact with Google to update a list of known malware sites in order to warn the user".

Hm.  See my above post regarding SERP spam.  I am not convinced.  What about other members?

and

"Putting the hype in hyperbole, Michael Arrington is singing the Windows dirge song. That nifty new imported from Denmark JavaScript engine, he contends will make Ajax applications like Gmail and Google Docs “absolutely roar.” Combined with Google Gears, “Chrome is nothing less than a full on desktop operating system that will compete head on with Windows.” The crystal ball shows Arrington millions of Web and desktop devices to strip out the Windows layer altogether, making the browser itself the operating system".

As an economist, I don't like monopolistic competition. 

My experience with Windows XP is good.  I am too old to use and learn Linux.  I urged my son to try Opera, FF and Linux.  He did not like FF and is an Opera specialist.  He did not like Linux either and won a Vista ulitimate worth more than NOK 6000 that he likes very much.  I bought an Imac to my youngest daughter.  He was impressed by the Mac OS.  8 years old he compiled programs in the Simula for the OS II Warp compiler.  So he has an idea of what he is talking about. I agree that Office is good, and have never tried Open Office.  Windows mediaplayer, messenger is fairly good too.  IE is in my opinion a tragedy for the world and I don't like Live searh either.  There are some good meta search engines like Clusty.  I still regard Google as the best and most powerful of the "real" SE's.  I am very dissatisfied with Google Adsense so long.  May be I have not done enough or there is a better ad model for webmasters.


I have never tried that. 

Good software may be expensive.  A free http://www.computer-books.us/php_2.php book where a Norwegian has contributed.  PHP and MySQL may be good enough for some webpages / webapplications.  Some webmaster will never need something else.  Good enough is simply best for them.

Like Android, Google Chrome is based on, built from the ground up with, open source application framework WebKit; it is intended to be next-generation built for handling Web applications rather than Web pages. It includes Google Gears built-in.

Hey Bill, the only issues that i've been aware of so far is due to the new javascript v8 engine that it uses other than that it renders the pages the same as Safari/Firefox.

Oh and a pretty big issue - I cant log into my google account through Chrome. Dont know if thats because of our network, havent tried it at home.

Now surely you weren't expecting to be able to log into your Google account from their own browser

Yeah lol, you would have thought they would have tested that!

Well seeing as how it's my birthday - bloody enormous hint. Rotten sods. I forgive you -
