Can anyone translate Bloody's post to regularly english.. I didn't understand a word :/

For the performance issue: Chromium will most likely be the fastest in rendering, as it has the newest versions of the V8-javascript engine and webkit. But in commen use, it will be slower as it is full of debug code and code, that has not yet been optimized (if you check with hexeditor or stuff like that you will see horrible much debug code )..

Whats the difference between Google Chrome and Chromium? our former thread about the same topic

When Chrome's stable version catches up to Dev I may reconsider and go back to that.

The SR Iron website lists differences between there version of Chromium and Chrome. I have never tried SR Iron so who knows.

so what if their herding us... Lawl
google finances ffox..., i believe they honestly think competition is a good thing, and arnt trying to manopolize it

i have no doubt there fully supporting the chromium team, although im sure a few things get cut for support for other google products >.<
theres so many other google projects that could use some work.. although i love chrome as it is... it could still use quite a bit of work
the fact of the matter, theres no such thing as 'perfect' software
Ideally the users would need only to press a single button, to get where they are going, but ofc that would require mind reading :P, aslong as google uses my thoughts anonamously... im happy with it ^^ (unless them bastards steal my ideas >.<)

Google Doest want a monopoly on the browser... they enjoy the competition.
Google is supporting chromium completely (i would guess).
Google doest always finish their projects, and there are holes in a lot of their products that have descended beyond 'beta stage'. Chrome is probably one of their more thought out projects even if it isn't finished.

There is no way to make any software "perfect" unless it could read a users mind, which I wouldn't want stored on their servers for 'public' display.

I don't care about how Google collects and uses search/browsing information, as-long as it is completely anonymous, and doesn't directly affect me, (except through bettering my searches Ect).

Is that better guys? :P

Hehe - clear enough for me, BT.

I think the Chromium/Google team are on the right track. I mean, how fast is this baby? Geez, I went for Chromium's nightly build recently, and the speed is utterly amazing. It's noticeable, as in not tested by some speed test site; you can actually SEE pages fly onto the screen. There's no other browser to match it.

On top of that, it becomes kind of invisible after a while. When I want to see something, I open it and there it is. Almost like the Internet is in a folder, if you know what I mean. I don't care about toolbars and sexy icons, because they aren't the important part of the experience. The importance is placed on what you're doing, which when all's said and done, is where the importance should be placed.

Eye candy is all well and good, but as someone else said, you should be looking through the window, not at it. Oh, and for those who haven't read this yet, here are the ideas behind Chromium as written by a smart bunch of people. These folks know what they're doing. These folks should maybe run the world.

though i agree with most of what chrome team said, I dont think i can stand behind: "superfluous extra options?"
Options are just that... Options, they dont have to default as ON, but they dont have to be non-existant either. I am all for plugins, but the perfect browser shouldnt need any. meaning that any plugins that are widely used, should automatically be programmed in as options. (plus when coded by the chrome team, you know there secure, and fast).
If someone is worried about the filesize increase all these options bring.. there is always "chrome - light" which would be the bare essentials.
I would also suggest to chrome/google that anything 'taken out' should be released as an OS plugin, along with a description of what it does, and why it was taken out.

Yeah BT, I get your points. Although I don't think there can ever be a 'perfect' browser.

I think the Chromium team have it right, as the browser is not only fast, intuitive and gorgeous, but also allows for all kinds of extensions. That, to me, is the right way to go. If you like simple and fast, you have it. If you want a bunch of extras, you can have them too, though you may find it affects the speed. It's your choice. I like that - the user having the choice.

You know what's very cool is how Chrome 'feels' in use. It's very different, and I've been thinking about why it seems so different. It seems to me that the simple things that make it so good are not even noticed (which speaks volumes about the skills of the design team).

The tabs are an obvious point, but while people talk about tabs being separate processes, that's not what's cool about them. What's cool is that the window has no title, so you get more screen space. And on top of that, when you grab and move a tab, the other tabs show and move in 'real time'. Do that with any other browser, and all you get is an arrow showing where the tab will go. Not at all visual and intuitive like Chrome, and frankly, confusing after using Chrome.

The Chromium/Google team are a bunch of very smart people, and I like their design ideas as set out in the document I linked to above. They've created an amazing browser, and we can extend it in any way we please. But I think we need to be careful to follow their design path if we want to enhance it in a smart way. I've created a couple of simple extensions, and I deliberately made them 'invisible'. I hope others will follow the path of function over form. Chucking toolbars at it from Firefox, etc., really is not the way to go.
