Re: [backstage] Google Chrome OS

Ian, I have been expecting something like this for a while, but I actually expected it out of China or India, to be honest. Windows 7 is bloody fantastic, IMHO, but the "legacy" issue is something that is a great boon to corporate customers who have stuck with Microsoft over the decades. If you h

So far this is working like a rocket. Hasn't crashed yet, no major disasters with the renderer and I keep finding lots of nice little touches like the in-page search and how you can drag textareas to make them bigger. I'm sure there are many more. I don't think I'll be uninstalling firefox anyt

Re: [backstage] Google Chrome

A lot of it is sensible but we're just not used to it. Of course a new tab should open next to the tab you opened it from, but it doesn't work like that in Firefox, so of course I'm looking at the far right of my screen.. 2008/9/2 Brian Butterworth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > And when your plugins cras

There's no F11 to take you into full-screen mode either.. It's a bit of a fiddle getting the iPlayer content to fit on my screen. Tried to install the Google toolbar to get my Google bookmarks.. it installs the IE version and fires up IE. Also, built in spell-check doesn't know the word "Google"

Re: [backstage] Google Chrome

It's pretty spiffy - very fast compared to IE7 on Vista. I like the way you can tear-off tabs and re-attach them to a different Chrome window - 'in-tab' pop-ups are a nice feature - It seems fairly stable - even with over 100 tabs active it's still pretty nippy. On Tue, Sep 2, 2008 at 8:07 PM, And
