Actually, playing with the beta of chrome on XP now. They have a concept of an "application window" that has no back button. You can even create a link to "apps" on your desktop. I'm running one for my app Cashboard right now and it's pretty slick. Overall I think this is a great step forward for browsers. Firefox/safari constantly dies when I have multiple open windows for Gmail, so any improved Javascript engine is excellent news. Google stepping up to the plate and doing something about it is just what's needed. Rendering appears fine for all of my sites, which is to be expected with them using webkit as an engine. Again, a great decision. I'll really need to put it through its paces, but from my initial testing Chrome looks to be a winner. -------------------- seth - subimage llc ----- http://sublog.subimage.com ----- Cashboard - Estimates, invoices, and time tracking software - for free! http://www.getcashboard.com ----- Substruct - Open source RoR e-commerce software. http://code.google.com/p/substruct/ ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
