Anyone else check out the beta for the new Web browser Google announced today? I'm using it right now and while it definately won't instantly replace
Firefox for me, there's some potential here, and I'm going to be keeping an eye on this as it goes through the beta.

My dad of all people gave me an interesting idea: make Chrome compatible with Firefox extensions/add-ons.
I'm not really sure that's at all feasible, but Firefox IS open source, so it's not like Gogle can't use firefox's code. ...I think. Then again, coding isn't just "copy feature" "paste feature here" from my limited experience. |

A few things to know about Google Chrome:
1. The logo: http://www.glazman.org/we...p?post/2008/09/02/Deja-vu 2. As of now, it suffers from a WebKit vulnerability. This is fixed in newer versions, like the one in Safari 3.1.2.\ 3. This contains a PDF of a Google comic that was sent out to journalists the day before the unveiling of the beta. http://mozillalinks.org/w...me-joins-browser-wars-ii/ And for more fun, this mocks the comic itself: http://www.portfolio.com/...ures/2008/09/Google-Comic |

This chrome is fast and sleek. It is amazing. But what is it's gimmick?

It's a team rocket browser that steals intellectual property. That is the gimmick. *uses any upload form on any site and gives google free everything?*

I love the aggressive garbage
collection concept, on the other hand, the whole "intellectual-property-is-our-property" thing makes me say nay.

It appears that Google has removed the offending segment of the EULA (the "Team Rocket scheme" in 11. Content license from you). It now only
reads:
11.1 You retain copyright and any other rights you already hold in Content which you submit, post or display on or through, the Services. If that was what was holding you back from trying Chrome, go ahead and try it now.

- Offers a privacy mode (called Incognito) you can enter to have all cookies, saved forms, history, etc. wiped out as soon as you leave the mode. A similar
feature is already available in Safari and Internet Explorer 8 betas. Firefox 3.1 will not have this feature as initially planned.
Uh, something I noticed in that form. So, my Firefox is the only one that DOES have something like that...? And yes, before you asked, it's not an add-on that does it. I have a clear private data tool, and I'm pretty sure I can set it to autorun, which does the same thing as this. |

Same result. Anyway, that says wiped out when you leave the mode, not prevented from the start.
