"Despite testing on Apple-built hardware, OS X generally trailed Windows 7 browser performance, with a Mac browser beating all Windows 7 challengers only four times out of 35 eligible tests. As for the runners up, Chrome came in just behind Firefox on Windows, while Chrome and Firefox were nearly indistinguishable for second place on OS X." - LANjackal from Bookmarklet

"For years, many in the tech press have presumed that Google is "donating" money to Mozilla. They're not. They're no more donating to Mozilla than they are to Opera or Apple, both of which derive significant revenue by sending search traffic to Google. For Opera, that appears to be about $50M in the last 12 months. (Apple doesn't disclose the details of their arrangements with Google.) They're no more donating to Mozilla than they are to the handset makers and carriers they pay to distribute Android. It's a simple business deal. They sell ads and they do what they can to put eyes in front of those ads." - LANjackal from Bookmarklet

A simple extension for Chrome I just made. / Pequeña extensión que acabo de hacer. / Basically the same ol' bookmarklet wrapped in a distinctive ff button. Check it out: https://chrome.google.com/extensi...

Love it! - Jesse Stay
cool! extension's first success! - Friendfeed's Francisco
Well, not sure it's working :-) I'm running OS X Chromium nightly, and clicking it doesn't seem to do anything. - Jesse Stay
But I like having the FF logo next to my URL bar, so that's a success :-) - Jesse Stay
It's right next to the Facebook logo - Jesse Stay
// EDIT: ok that's messy. here: http://tinypaste.com/6081b Anybody know hoe to make it work on OSx? - Friendfeed's Francisco
Works fine on Mac OS X 5.0.335 dev channel release. It looks like extensions are disabled on the extensions website and on Chrome internal pages, but if you go to like http://google.com the bookmarklet pops up just fine. You can try to remove the %20 in the action_url string, but removing it didn't seem to affect my usage either way. - Mark Trapp
Good work, Francisco. - Micah
Thanks, Micah. @Goadkicker Super! - Friendfeed's Francisco
Actually, it seems to work, just wasn't working on the link to the extension. Seems to work fine on other pages though so I think we're good. - Jesse Stay
Great to hear, Jesse. Btw. What does the facebook button do? :-) - Friendfeed's Francisco
Francisco, here's the Facebook one: https://chrome.google.com/extensi... - from what I hear it was written at a Facebook hackathon by an intern there. - Jesse Stay
I really like the small scrolling bar they styled there. Sweet. - Friendfeed's Francisco
If you could combine FFcheck with the bookmarklet, that would be very useful - Shey
and friendfeedTranslate - if someone does this, I suggest using kynetx to do it. It will give you one jquery-based language to write extensions with one code base across most browsers: http://kynetx.com - Jesse Stay
*ears perk up* - Micah
Jesse, are you an advisor to kynetx (I see they're based in Lehi)? Do you know what their business model is - have they stated anything as such publicly. It certainly looks interesting. - Micah
Micah, I am not an advisor, nor do I have any vested interest. I just really like what they're doing. Their business model is in building custom apps for brands interested, or in consulting. I'm not sure what other types of deals they do. Their developer platform is free though. You can ask @windley or @fulling on Twitter though and I'm sure they can answer more detailed questions than I'm aware. - Jesse Stay
Of note, @windley wrote the Digital Identity book for O'Reilly, and has a very strong identity background. I fully expect them to go full force into the identity realm with what they're doing. Imagine completely customized context (such as this extension, but even more), through extensions, action cards, and bookmarklets, across all browsers. - Jesse Stay
@Shey do you have a link to ffcheck? never heard of it. EDIT: never mind. http://ffcheck.com ..I think it's doable. ;-) as for ff translate ... - Friendfeed's Francisco
Lol, if it's doing so, I had no idea. @Slippy - Friendfeed's Francisco
Wow, just what i needed, thanks Francisco! - Majento
@Slippy ¬¬ haa I should have seen it coming! I'm glad it's useful, Majento. - Friendfeed's Francisco
cool, but like the bookmarklet doesn't work in recent builds of chrome (e.g. 5.0.375.99) - scott willeke
I'm gonna test that and update. - Friendfeed's Francisco
what seems to be the issues?, it does work fine in 5.0.375.99 (Build oficial 51029) beta and 6.0 dev channel (windows 7) - Friendfeed's Francisco
it's not working for me, too. can we solve this problem? - ToMtOm
Yeah, seems to be broken in the current stable version. Clicking the button doesn't do anything. :( I guess it's back to the regular bookmarklet for the time being. - Curdy G
It broke for me too. - Skyler Call from Android
I've been checking it for the past week or so and it only seems to be broken in old installs of chrome. new installs are ok. I dunno what could be causing this. :P - Friendfeed's Francisco
doesn't work any more: chrome 15.0.874.121 on OS X - ✔ ǝuǝƃnǝ
sorry, eugene I've been having trouble to make it work on all installs. are you testing it outside of the chrome extension gallery as well? If you or anyone could help reviewing the background page code, here it is: http://tinypaste.com/6081b - Friendfeed's Francisco

If you refused to drink the cloud hype kool aid and *knew* GDocs would be no competition to MS Office *and* no one wanted a degraded browser-only PC experience, pat yourself on the back. The rest of you, weep. - LANjackal

First time I've seen this on Chrome (15.0.874.106 m).
11-3-2011 8-52-29 PM.jpg
WHY!!!! - Jimminy, CoG of FF
The memory was over 200MB. :( - AJ Batac :)
If you get it to work, let Tim know. - Jimminy, CoG of FF
Also check your GPU memory use, that has been a problem for a while now making Chrome Unusable. - Jim
i've been getting this a lot lately. The Chrome version 15 is sucking big time. - NotdaBOTTurlokin4
I've seen plenty enough of this. - Julian
I see this quite often on my Ubuntu box, but then I run the development Chrome :P - imabonehead
