Cool Browser

Someone took Google Chrome and removed all the nonsense that allowed it to communicate with the mother ship and made a fine browser. SRWare Iron is pretty slick. If I find a decent download manager and a way to make it stop closing the application when I close the last tab, I may switch.

It’s fast. Real fast. And, unlike Firefox, the hotkeys in wordpress work.

    Dunno, I find that the full screen version of firefox is pretty much everything I want in a browser on my Eee. And it lets me use flash and advert blocking unlike Chrome.

    I like WebKit(Safari, Konquerer and Chrome) as a renderer it’s a bit better than Gecko(Firefox and Iceweasel).
    The thing that makes me use Firefox is plugins, I use ABP, NoScript, GreaseMonkey and Firebug.
    Iron definitely looks like the best way to go for WebKit right now, but I’ll want to see NoScript, GreaseMonkey and Firebug capabilities on it before I can use it for dev work (it already has ABP capabilities of course).
    Safari actually does give Firebug capabilities, which makes it nice for WebKit dev, but it lacks in the other areas so I’m not fond of it as far as WebKit browsers go, also it has a couple things that make it not quite as good as Firebug.

    D2k, i read that twice and have no idea what you said.

    I do like firefox and have gotten used to it. And if iron doesn’t pan out, I’ll switch back to it.

    D2k likes the engine underneath Chrome/Iron’s fancy hood, but wants a bunch of those fuzzy dice you can get for Firefox to work on its rear view mirror too.

    I believe Chrome comes with the mother-ship telepathy disabled. If not, it’s easily disabled in the options.

    Quit farting around with browsers and install the “subscribe to comments” plugin, already! All the cool kids are doing it!

  8. D2k Says:

    Right, what Nomen said.

    Last I checked (a year ago?), I couldn’t post to (Google’s) Blogger from (Google’s) Chrome.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
