Google has a spot on their Chrome site on how to use Visual Studio to modify the open source code.

My understanding is that Chrome doesn’t have an add-on functionality like FF has. Of course Chrome is Open Source so it may be that we’re going to see other forks of the Chrome code with changes/improvements. Ben M.

"... before final release..." - I wouldn't hold my breath on that one. GMail that's been out for I believe at least 4 years is still "beta." No, it is not really beta by my definition, but either Google has forgotten to update the graphic, or more likely they never plan to come out of beta. And it still lacks quite a bit of functionality compare to many mature mail apps (not, however, to belittle the good features that they have that others lack). Same goes for many other offerings: It seems like they roll out a promising app, but it remains as such with only minor incremental updates. But with the browser's missing functionality will probably be plugged up by 3rd party just like FF has...

And I found Chrome to be no faster than IE8, add in the lack of RSS features and it is DOA in my opinion. That said, I'm certain that Google will add additional features before final release, but their feature set right now is really lacking.

Except that it's about 20x as fast and uses less than 1/2 the memory. Did anyone notice the "Task Manager" in Chrome? That's what I call going for the jugular. The more Microsoft tries to prove that they "get it" the further they fall behind. Wasn't IE7 just released? Was that just a gigantic "Oops" or another MS fart into the wind? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tim Vander Kooi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "NT System Admin Issues" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, September 04, 2008 10:23 AM Subject: RE: What no chrome? > Not to mention that every one of the "hot new features" that they > trumpet already exist in SP2 of IE8.
