Yipes, sorry Tim. Maybe there are updated versions of prototype and rico that might work.

Was unable to play a live video stream on cnn.com. Claimed it needed the Turner Media plugin, let it get it, it downloaded the Firefox plugin and installed. Still no playback, but did get audio in one stream.

In spite of Google's claimed openness, I haven't a clue as to where to submit a bug report?


EDIT: Found bug reporting under the "Control the current page" icon. Pretty neat form to fill out including option to send screenshot.

Fast, indeed. The only site that's still dog slow in it is maemo.org :-)

I like the resizable textareas. And of course all Google stuff is like on steroids (Gmail, Calendar, Apps etc.). It's going to shine as an AJAX engine.

I won't be switching until there's a decent plugin system with some basic stuff available, like an Adblock equivalent. I'm still waiting for some stuff to updated for FF3 anyway :-)

2. 78/100 on Acid3 Test
3. Tabs work great
4. Bookmarks are easy to maintain and move around
5. Gears is installed by default - works great with Wordpress
6. Haven't seen a site that doesn't render correctly -- even those heavy in Ajax
7. Flash sites run well
8. Silverlight not yet compatible
9. Mobile Me works
Um, dunno why everyone is so exited, Webkit IS fast and 78/100 indicates not so new version. I'm interested only in V8.

It seems like it's running on VMWare Fusion -- I heard that this video is running chrome on VMWare Fusion: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVABOWpJdqo

Same thought here. And a fairer comparison would be with other stripped down webkit browsers (Epiphany et al) than something bloated as FF3.

So it does work apparently?

Since it should be "compiling Javascript to native code", we probably will have to wait some for a linux version (or ARM for that matter) :)

This is almost off-topic, but after having it on my hard drive quite awhile, I am just
noticing how fast the newest version of Opera is here in Sidux, a version of Debian. Great! Now off to a computer that has Windows on it to try Chrome...
