- Why all the google hate ? Might as well give chrome a try - ” The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005) ” … Oh well :| #
- @abarrera I have yet to even get chrome working ! Gimme gimme I want to see how ugly it really is :) #
- http://ping.fm/p/2wXIC - I’ll have to give it another a try :| #
- 10second review of chrome. It’s fast, dirty and not as ugly as I thought. JS rendering is quick. I guess google thinks the future is AJAX #
- @kosso indeed. Making Chrome my default browser and seeing how much mileage I get out of it (fingers crossed) #
- @abarrera once you get past Chrome’s sandboxing issues you’ll find it’s based on the opera/safari render engine. I’m giving it a chance ;) #
- @yellowpark The internet to 75% of ppl is the icon called ‘Internet Explorer’. Apparently it logs you on to the internet. Makes me angry! #
- Love it ! Drag a tab out into a new window. Always wanted that ! Now for the bad… Chrome and HTTP pipelining and my server load :-o #
