As someone who uses the Late Night theme, I had no idea there was supposed to be any cursor glow at all, and it's never done it before.

Or were you just making up a fake example?

^^yes there's an ad block now.

I decided to try out chrome. It's still much slower than firefox with ad block plus, but I'll install the Chrome ad block and see if that speeds it up.

Why aren't the favicons showing up in my bookmarks bar? FF/IE shows each website icon, chrome just shows blank white pages. This might be a deciding factor. I don't want a bookmarks bar with a bunch of white icons on it.

-another annoying thing. the url bar wouldn't search by default. I had to go to options, then default search then create a search using:

http://www.google.com/#hl=en&source=hp&q=%s&aq=f&aqi=&oq=&fp=cbc2f75bf9d43a8f

This seems really stupid. Why wouldn't it search google by default?

"There's nothing basic about having 25 tabs open."

sure there is. doesn't matter if that's what you do or not.
For example, I often build-up 30-40 tabs at a time when using Google Reader - i'll quickly go through my unread Google Reader items, and I'll ctrl+click the ones I want to read so they'll open in the background. Then i'll just work through the tabs one at a time and close them when I'm done, either right then or throughout the day.


^^ no, that's a real bug/nitpick. At least on Chrome on Mac, there is a glow beneath the cursor when mousing over inactive tabs. In this image (even though the cursor is hidden in the screenshot), I am hovering over the 'o' in the Amazon.com tab. it is inactive in the background, behind the TWW tab. 90% of the time, the glow follows the cursor around inside the inactive tabs (it doesn't change the active tab), but occasionally it doesn't show up and I can't exactly reproduce when or why. It's not a loss of functionality, but it's a real example of a nitpick, unlike the tab overflow problems

slower? Chrome seems run a good bit faster for me than Firefox. With ad block, ietab and mouse gestures, I don't see myself using another browser.

Most of my bookmarks display the little icon but there's a few with just the little white page.

"Chrome browser climbs over Safari for No. 3 spot by Marc Flores on January 2nd, 2010 at 5:47pm Filed under: Apple, Linux, Mac OS, News, Windows 7 63 Comments Google’s Chrome browser has only been on the market for 16 months, but it has already taken a good share of the market and beat out Safari for the number three spot. Safari, for the first time ever, is now ranked fourth. By the end of December, Chrome was up at 4.63% market share whereas Safari fell to about 4.46%. Of course, the big boost likely came from the fact that Chrome Beta became officially available for Mac and Linux. Top dogs are still Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Internet Explorer, with IE8 still at the top but failing to see any real growth. So tell us, what browser are you currently using and why (speed, extensions, apps, etc)?"

Logmein doesn't work well in Chrome. First of all when you try to fullscreen logmein it just fullscreens it within the chrome window, not actually full screening. There's a few other bugs too. Anyone found a work around? I don't want to have to bring up IE or FF just for logmein.

-also my multitouch forward/back on my touchpad don't work in chrome but work in IE and FF.

Still waiting on Silverlight/Netflix Instant Watch support.

Also for some reason anchors don't work in Chrome. That's annoying.

All that being said, I still use it as my main browser.

1/16/2010 1:00:09 AM

Some more issues I have. Logmein still doesn't work just right with full screen. Also Chrome's full screen option sucks. Nothing pops up when it's full screened like FF so unless you know all the shortcuts for forward/back etc you can't do anything. I know that's big a big complaint among reviewers.

Also I opened a big forum on both chrome and FF and it was almost impossible to scroll fluidly or at all using Chrome whereas on FF the scrolling worked fine. Also for some reason Flash beta 10.1 isn't loading videos that well on Chrome compared to FF.

Chrome also uses a lot more ram than FF on my netbook. I want to use it as my main browser but until all these problems are fixed i'll stick with FF.

1/21/2010 7:02:50 PM

^^I'm not sure why silverlight/netflix doesn't work for you, it works perfect for me on chrome, both on the latest stable and the beta

gotta have extensions?
I'm guessing the greasemonkey scripts I was using in FF aren't compatible in chrome?

2/20/2010 11:53:39 AM

anybody else's mouse hesitate/react slowly in chrome? I'm trying to see if it's extension related... may be adblock... only does this in Chrome

2/20/2010 5:56:28 PM

^^Greasemonkey scripts install as extensions straight into Chrome. Don't know if it's all of them or not but what I've tested works.

^ Using it on Vista & Snow Leopard with adblock and don't have any mouse/trackpad issues. What other extensions do you have installed?

2/21/2010 12:22:06 PM

^thanks.... I got one GS script to install but the others are just opening up instead of installing.

I've gone through them one by one... I still think it's adblock... I also have to refresh pages to see youtube videos when adblock is enabled.

2/21/2010 12:38:48 PM

Yeah, you've lost me then. I haven't had any issues with adblock other than blocking out the battery finder on adorama.com. Have you tried to putting youtube.com in as a site to not block to see if it helps?

Chrome is going to gain hugely on FF once the major video sites go HTML5 with h.264

Chrome still doesn't support synaptics forward/back three finger swipe which is what most laptops have. If any of you guys have run into this problem if you hold the alt key down then do the motion it works. Weird they haven't fixed it yet.

3/1/2010 10:20:48 PM

^didn't even know that existed. there are easier ways for me to go forward/backward (backspace and shift backspace)

3/1/2010 10:36:46 PM

^not if you're using a laptop. Easiest way to back/forward is with the pad (assuming you're already using the pad while browsing). Backspace would involve moving your entire right hand to the backspace then back to the pad. Instead of just using the pad.

3/1/2010 10:39:40 PM

ive noticed a weird problem with crome + tww (but i'm sure it only happens to me)

when i click pretty much any internal link on tww, after the page fully loads, the load animation thing keeps going for another 3-5 seconds, and while that's happening, i can't do anything...can't type in the reply box, can't page down, can't click another link etc...until the page stops "loading" (even though the page is fully loaded already)

don't notice this same behavior in any other browser, and i've tried reinstall the latest release and beta versions, but no dice *sigh*

3/1/2010 10:44:26 PM

Yeah there's a lot of little bugs with Chrome that i can't get over and switch. FF 3.6 for me. For example full screen on Chrome sucks. Mainly for apps like logmein. Takes up more ram than FF too. Not good for my netbook.

3/1/2010 10:48:57 PM

Lately, TWW is killing me on chrome. Nearly every page I go to causes it to crash. I can reload and it usually loads right up. Occasionally it will crash again but never 3 times in a row. As soon as I get done and hit back, it'll usually crash again. Actually, not crash but that damn "Aw Snap" error page. I haven't changed anything recently (when it started). I've narrowed it down to some kind of ad or something that's affecting AdThwart. It runs perfectly if I disable it.

MBP running 10.6.2
Chrome 5.0.335.0 dev

Anybody using something other than AdThwart & AdBlock that works and doesn't cause TWW fuck-ups? (Note that I haven't noticed an issue at work running on Vista)

[Edited on March 2, 2010 at 8:11 PM. Reason : forgot, AdBlock does the same thing.]

3/2/2010 7:55:40 PM

^Ok, I thought it was just me, but yes, same problems but on Chrome 4.1.x and I'm not running AdThwart--although I am running AdBlock

It's definitely an ad (or ads?) that's crashing it, I just haven't spent the time to verify who the culprits are.

I'd rather have Safari / Mac OS X FF is too slow and bloated.

3/21/2010 5:07:17 PM

I just don't feel like getting use to another browser. I try Chrome every now and then, but I just can tide over to it. Word on the block is that IE9 has really stepped its game, and personally I'm an IE fan, so maybe I can make this switch if its as good as they say it is. The thing I like about FF so much is kinda trivial, and that is you can just have the favicon of your bookmarked site on your live bookmark bar without having to have text beside it saying what it is, and this saves lots of space, and its more aesthetic to me.

^Whatever the problem was is gone now. Lasted about 2 weeks or so and then quit. I don't know if it was a change in TWW's ads or an update in AdBlock.

Just curious but what about IE makes you a fan? That is, what pre-IE8 made you a fan at all? I guess I've always looked at browsers from both a user and a developer's point of view which is why I've never liked IE.

I felt the same way for some time until I started diving deeper into the developer tools for both safari and chrome. They are both pretty much the exact same thing. I am really liking that better than Firebug for most things although Firebug translates javascript errors better still. The resources tab is really helpful.
