For what it's worth, there are several reports on LifeHacker that the selected heuristic doesn't end up working for a lot of pages, but it's a clever start, to be sure. >> I continue to feel that this is a huge use case for browsers and >> something >> like this could be a major boon if the UI was right. Agreed. I think you'd need clearer controls about how to get back to the full page, and probably a smooth transition from "full page" to "selected bit" that uses visual momentum to keep the user's context. Something similar to how the lightboxes on many websites use now, but perhaps without the 3-d effect. Also, it might be powerful to let the user indicate the aspect of the page they want to focus on. cheers, mike --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Chromium Developers mailing list: [email protected] View archives, change email options, or unsubscribe: http://groups.google.com/group/chromium-dev -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
