Google Chrome: What do you say?
I recently blogged a bit about my thoughts on the implications and possible results of Google's new web browser, Chrome. I am interested in your opinions on what I have said, and maybe some of your own thoughts on the subject. Either comment here or on the blog itself, I don't care, just interested in feedback.
Here is the link: http://blog.abwebsitedesign.com/2008...and-maybe.html |

I have yet to try Google Chrome, I will probably stick with Internet Explorer.

I know I can't be bothered downloading it. I probably will though once peer pressure gets to me~

It's a real pain. We don't need another browser. Right now you have to test and tweak your sites for the A Grade Browsers:
IE6 IE7 FF 2 FF 3 (which is turning out to be pretty troublesome) Safari Not to mention Opera, Seamonkey etc... And now google throws in their two cents and with such high exposure I'm sure it'll only be a matter of time before that gets added to the "to-test" list also.... For the moment I'll be ignoring it in the hope it goes away.... |

It apparently uses Safari's rendering engine so if your site works in that it will be the same in the Google browser.

It'd be great if that were true, but I test on the windows version of Safari and I've had reports of pages rendering slightly differently on the Mac Version...

It uses source from a wide array of open source code such as Firefox and Safari. The official user-agent recorded from the browser is:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/525.13 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/0.X.Y.Z Safari/525.13. Google has also opted to keep the source code for Chrome open and will be developing versions for both MacOS and Linux. I'd say it's a good deal. |

As long as it doesn't have problems interpreting CSS like IE does, I am perfectly fine with it.
