As far as I know Google have always funded Mozilla.
Be interesting to see what they have come up with but I would think it will be some time before it's a great option.
“If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.”
They will tie it heavily into their Google free apps and then have you lock, stock and barrel. Why bother tracking a cookie when the browser can phone home to Google and tell them everything about what your looking at.
It is an Open Source browser..so I am sure that any possible nasties/privacy issues will be found out by some geeks who can understand the code.
Also it uses WebKit, so webpages should render well in Google's Chrome Browser if they render in Safari. Only thing is it has its own custom built Javascript engine, so any fancy JS may need to be tested.
However, I won't switch to it (in the near future) for development work, etc, unless it gets plugins like FireBug (ChromeBug? hehe) developed for it.
I'll check it out. Looks like they've done some good work under the hood. Though it may go the way of Google Talk, it is open source and will likely add to browser development over all.
another browser to code for, no thank you. FF and IE6,7,8 is enough for me
Yep. Fucking assholes. Now I have to check my pages in yet another unneeded browser. Fuck. And, on a personal note - yeah.... like I'm going to use anything but my personalized firefox with all my extensions, themes, and tweaks. Fuck opera, fuck IE, fuck safari, and now fuck google.
Yo, isn't the beta supposed to be out today? Where the fuck do I download it?

Lack of privacy is the first thing that jumped into mind. But my IP is static so they know every time I log-in with an alias, what I search for, and what I buy. I can haz privacy plz?
