Google Browser on Tuesday - GoFuckYourself.com

AlienQ - BANNED FOR LIFE · 09-01-2008, 08:41 PM

Should be interesting.

Was there a Beta for it?

candyflip · 09-01-2008, 08:43 PM

Got a link? I haven't seen it listed as a definite.

Surprised this is not really a big topic of discussion this is pretty huge news for all of us.

acctman · 09-01-2008, 08:55 PM

another browser to code for, no thank you. FF and IE6,7,8 is enough for me

Adam_M · 09-01-2008, 09:03 PM

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.

Bojangles · 09-01-2008, 09:12 PM

I'll probably check it out. I will most likely stick with FireFox, though.

Agreed.

Not to mention, I wonder how long before this browser phones home with surfing data to the Google mothership.

It's gonna run on webkit, Which is what safari uses , so all should be all good :D
( webkit is very similar to the gecko rendering of Moz, FF etc )

Yeah, that'll work out well when they own half the market.

candyflip · 09-01-2008, 09:55 PM

Will there be all sorts of useful extensions? If it can't do all my loaded up Firefox can do, I don't see the point.

I'm sure plenty of average, everyday users will put it to good use.

Iron Fist · 09-01-2008, 10:07 PM

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.

Hmmm.. scary.

Shagbunny · 09-01-2008, 11:37 PM

i will definitely check it out, i like the google mothership

Google becomes scarier every day, but for some strange reason people keep bashing Microsoft and ignore that google has become MUCH worse.

D Ghost · 09-01-2008, 11:43 PM

interesting

NinjaSteve · 09-02-2008, 12:07 AM

It'll be popular because everybody orgasms about Google.

Evil E · 09-02-2008, 12:15 AM

Google has enough data from me, I won't be using their browser anytime soon. Or their email, or their IM...

Lucky Bastard · 09-02-2008, 12:54 AM

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.

Oh Cuntastic, the shittiest most incompatible browser available.

Odin · 09-02-2008, 03:37 AM

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.

CunningStunt · 09-02-2008, 03:38 AM

Fuck them, and anyone who thinks they are great.

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.

crockett · 09-02-2008, 04:40 AM

I hope it's totally blows away firefox. I get so sick of hearing people praise that crappy brower I just wish it would end.

AdultTrafficMedia · 09-02-2008, 06:18 AM

How have some of their other products performed? Like Google Checkout for example?

HomerSimpson · 09-02-2008, 06:34 AM

there goes firefox to history when chrome starts
since google will probably stop funding it...

CyberHustler · 09-02-2008, 09:13 AM

hanii · 09-02-2008, 09:50 AM

Have to ask, what is your browser of choice, and why?

Google and Firefox have an agreement until 2011.
Chrome will not end that.

tranza · 09-02-2008, 10:40 AM

I can't wait to test it.

Altheon · 09-02-2008, 10:53 AM

It did mention some pretty cool technical improvements. Here is a "comic book" of what it does:

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?

I agree with him, Firefox was a giant piece of shit. 3.0 fixed some things but damn the older builds were crap.
