I don't know. Is Chrome aimed at the tech-savvy or not? FireFox is definitely for those folks who actually know you can use different browsers. It will have to be better, overcome 'big brother' mentality to make substantial inroads. Or is it looking to grab those who just know they're on the web and they're not sure how. The default install and brand name recognition could help erode IE. Haven't tried Chrome yet and can't cause I'm ... on a Mac. - AJ Kohn
I think you're right. I've been ready to bolt from Ffox for a while now... I did bolt for a little while but there's no viable alternative, IMO. If Chrome can do like Ffox only faster, I'm there. - Jim Jannotti
Besides Mozilla, other companies should monitor Google's Chrome. ie "To fight malware and phishing attempts, Chrome is constantly downloading lists of harmful sites." This would be a problem for companies that sell malware & phising protection. - Julio
AJ, interesting question, and if the screenshots floating around a real, it might be a browser seriously dumbed down. However, consider presence and speed as two driving factors. Chrome will be marketed heavily, and FF users are more likely to give it a shot. Second, Webkit is super fast, if they've ironed out the safari bugs I'd switch tomorrow, it's that quicker - Duncan Riley
Makes perfect sense. I think it's not just Mozilla who should be afraid of Chrome, but also other browsers struggling to get a piece of the browser market. Chrome seems to be particularly bad news for Opera. - Ray Metzen
Ray, I wouldn't think so, because Opera's core business is mobile and niche stuff like the Wii. Chrome doesn't appear there from what I can gather so far. - Duncan Riley
Oops, I meant Opera for the desktop platforms. I agree that their mobile business is probably safe, at least for a while. - Ray Metzen
It'll be interesting to watch, particularly since it would continue to feed its search business (much like toolbar). This is actually one of the few recent Google initiatives that seems to dovetail with it's core business. - AJ Kohn
I'm personally extremely amused to surf their descriptions and see that their memory management methodology borrows heavily from Erlang programming. Perhaps my functional programming and distributed processing bretheren have finally found a killer ap. - Alexander Williams via NoiseRiver
Mozilla has the most to lose in the browser market. What about Mozilla's Prism, or Adobe AIR? Does Chrome's inclusion of Google Gears factor into the discussion around platforms that run "rich internet applications?" - Kevin Sablan
mr. messina's take, quite good .. http://factoryjoe.com/blog/200... - Gregory Lent

To remove someone from your home feed, click "add/edit" and uncheck "Home feed".

I hope you guys are feeling great... we are, the FF team wins! - Nice Fish Films
Ah thanks. I think this should be available via the list "settings" link too tho, like in that "Add to friends list" action box. Kind of like the "Remove label" feature of the "More Actions" box in Gmail I guess. - Philipp Lenssen
@Philipp - I agree, and I happen to implementing that now :) - Bret Taylor
@Bret, yes thats something to do, the add /block is confusing . verbiage change to unscribe ? - Peter Dawson
One minor thing, in the gray "Add/ remove friends" box on a friends list page, there's no undo option when you remove a friend by clicking their avatar image. (By the way is there as better interface metaphor for removing someone than clicking on their avatar image?) - Philipp Lenssen
This is an interesting way to find out that people should remove me from their home feed. ;) - April Buchheit
@Peter, I thought "blocking" and "unsubscribing" were two different things. If you block someone, you'll never see their posts again, even on the "everyone" tab or in rooms (I've actually blocked one person, that's how I know.) - Laura Norvig
@Laura, its not the same, Block/subscribe buttons are available on your profile, when I click username. That is, b'coz I am not following you. However, with some1 that I am following, there is only a unscribe button. There is not block button. So for my followers, it just scribe /unscribe and with others I can Block/Subscribe. - Peter Dawson
Uh oh Paul, why are you removing April? - Jim Norris
@Jim: I know! Why does he hate me so much? I must post too many baby pictures. - April Buchheit
I immediately asked WHAT why is Paul removing April - bad example dude! LOL and NO we won't remove April...never! - Susan Beebe
April, are you being obstreperous again? - Gabe Schaffer
OT: In reader, I only saw "To remove someone from your home". I was like "Wow! advice on eviction!" Then I saw the rest. - Robert Konigsberg
it would make sense to have this option on the feed list as well, otherwise we do have to go into each and every profil everytime we want to hide, but it usually is the overview where we see what we want to do. [gm script anyone?] - Nicole Simon

That was quick. :) - Hao Chen
I wanted to use Beta, but I missed my tabs. Had to make something happen...LOL - Rahsheen(isSoAwesome)
whoa that really was quick! - James Cooper
Brilliant!! Just brilliant!!! - James Fridley
Let me know if you guys notice anything weird going on. I didn't do much testing :) - Rahsheen(isSoAwesome)
Just installed it, but I like it 150% more than the Better FriendFeed mark 1 - James Fridley
cool.. I had to make my own real quick to get the highlighted comments back.. there needs to be some changes to the css classes. - Tim Hoeck
Hrm...they work for me. Are you in FireFox? - Rahsheen(isSoAwesome)
I'm talking about the highlights for Cleaner FF.. your Better FriendFeed Beta seems to be working fine.. that doesn't highlight, does it? - Tim Hoeck
Rah: I'm using yours :) - Mona N.
no highlights :(? - Naor
Better FriendFeed does in fact "include" Cleaner FF features. Access the options panel in Tools->GreaseMonkey->User Script Commands->Better Beta FriendFeed - Rahsheen(isSoAwesome)
checking it out....thanks! - Susan Beebe
You are the best! Please make more =) - ChaCha Fance
just noticed that when I add someone to a list, I lose the ability to hide them. Not sure if that is a better friendfeed script or read later script... - James Fridley
Hrm...If you're using the Better FriendFeed script to change what's displayed for the word Like then it's possible. Read Later also plays with the same list. Both scripts are pretty careful about what they modify, but it's a possibility. - Rahsheen(isSoAwesome)

Awesome! - Steve Rubel
Fabulous! Cannot wait! - Abby Martin
It's beautiful. :) - Daynah
Thanks FriendFeed Team. You guys rock! - AJ Batac
Great features, digging the groups - Cains
wow nice job! It's very clean! - Alan Le
It's the Gmail/Reader interface, but w/ the nav on the right side -- shocked I am, shocked! :-) - Paul Wilcox
Wow! Neat. - Atul Arora
It's very nice! All the superlatives have already been used :) - Rebkin
The the new list feature is heck cool... just created test. Wondering how we can share list now :)- - Peter Dawson
A link to cancel a comment with no hack! YAY!!!! - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
Mona, poster names are still links they're just styled differently so they don't look like the other links. - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
beta.friendfeed is my new friend !! lots of new stuff to play with.. 8-10hrs lag with list data ..but a very very powerful feature. !! Way to GO TEAM FF !! - Peter Dawson
Love it. If this does not go mainstream, I don't know what will. - Vinay | विनय
Coming up next: gamma.friendfeed.com - Jim Norris
I /love/ this! So much shinier. - Evangeline
I still want more of a customizable dashboard view, tho. (kudos on the changes, tho...they ARE nice, and I do appreciate them. :)) - abacab
Thank you for the lists. - Paul Arterburn
Good job guys. I am disappointed you used Peter Astley, and not Rick Astley. Lost opportunity. - Louis Gray
looking great :) - sergiooo
My favorite is how the blog has like 2 comments, and Brett's link to it has almost 30 comments. - Dustin
Yummy* Friendfeeding just got better. - Jonathan (Vacation Boy)
This could be very good... but where 's the Rick Roll? - Bill Sodeman
OK: That's a long enough beta period. Let's do it live! - Chris Baskind
I want to start a pool -- (a) first blog to hit techmeme with an article on the re-design, (b) blog with most articles about the re-design (within 2 days starting now) - Wayne Schulz
LOVE IT! - Kyle Lacy
Why not position:fixed the right nav? Like this: http://limpid.nl/lab/css/fixed... - Michael Leggett
The share button no longer appears in my feed. This is counterintuitive. Otherwise, it's been a great experience so far. - Michael Nielsen
Where's the "me" tab? Everything else I LOVE! - Jennifer Van Grove
Michael: if you're viewing your feed from the main address, there is a 'sharing' box up at the top, and the options (comment, photo, link) appear once you begin typing. - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
click on your name Jennifer, above right - Tibor Holoda
@Jennifer "My Feed" in the sidebar replaces the "me" tab. And like Tibor said, your name works too. - Dan Hsiao
you launch this right after takeoff from scoble to berlin - coinkydink? :) - Allen Stern
@Stupid Blogger: Thanks, I'd figured that out, was just pointing out what seems like a bug in the current UI. - Michael Nielsen
Looks nice on first glance, and it seems easier now to reach rooms. The friend lists should be a great way to organize my imaginary friends which are basically topic subscriptions. The "Add/ Remove friends" link is confusing at first because when you don't have any friends in the list yet, clicking it will result in nothing (making you wonder if it's broken). The message sharing post form is also confusing because you don't quite know what to enter into it; a link, or a message, or...? The fact that it says "Share a link, message, or photos" doesn't really help. Also wasn't sure how to remove a friend from the home feed after moving them to a special list feed. Took me some seconds to find the Delete List icon, because I was looking near the "Add/ remove friends" link navigation. Wasn't sure if I like you created so many default friend lists for me (personal, favorites, professional), though I guess it may be useful to get the point across. I think I'm liking how names aren't underlined, though not so sure a - Philipp Lenssen
Try Friend recommendations. - Chris Baskind
I love the new info bubble. Super better than the old one :) - AJ Batac
Looks like the logo now clicks to the Friends view, as you'd expect. Same as You + Friends. - Chris Baskind
can't seem to access the beta site: Service Unavailable We encountered an error on your last request. Our service is new, and we are just working out the kinks. We apologize for the inconvenience. - Thomas Hawk
Awesomeness, very useful, and solves the biggest problem of noise reduction! great! - Aditya Kothadiya
awesome! Working now. Anyone know if there is a pagerization greasemonkey script yet for the beta site? - Thomas Hawk
One word: wonderful. - Brandon Titus
thanks for the iteration.. it's a great step forward - Travis Parsons
like the new functions, but not the new layout, it just doesn't look like friendfeed and a bit feel like google groups (caused by the side bar maybe). miss the old layout... - Baron Mok
It is kind of cool! - Steve
great design!! - ricardo valle
on minor thing: on the main page, Post button and "Show best of: day - week" overlaps if you narrow the browser window. - Dennis Seah
Fantastic! - Mo J
We need a "remove from home feed" button under the friends settings. Or there must be an option that we can choose the list which shows on main page. For example, i want to see only "Professional" friends' feeds on the main page. - Selim Yoruk
Cool new FF! - Igor Poltavskiy
Time stamps for comments? :( - Marcos Messer
Threaded comments??? - Jigar Mehta
So many small details and improvements, make SO much difference. - Martin Añazco
At last, I will be able to add to my feed all the people who subscribe to me, and it won't impact on my main source of infobrainment. It looks nice, too. Looks like you guys have pulled another one out of the bag. +1 - Slippy Lane
Hopefully the Greasemonkey scripts I have installed will work with it. - Steven M. Cohen
looking good friendfeed crew! - Dobromir Hadzhiev
Funny that they turned it on when I was flying to Europe. Looks awesome! - Robert Scoble
that is so frickin' sweet! - Jeremiah Palmer
I'm truly amazed at how good the UI is. The subtle touches like the use of blue links in just the right places or the contextual help like "How does hiding work?". Really great job. I think mioNews just became a little less useful to me, since FF now natively has friend groups. Oh well :P - Patrick Lightbody
please have an option to set font size! - h1ro
It has a great feature in allowing me to separate different people into different lists - that will be worth the whole interface change in itself. I hope that rooms also have embeddable feeds tho! - Justin Long
FF is in a frenzy. This is 16 hrs old and 3rd on my Best of the Week. Congratulations Bret and team. - Russellreno
@Marcos: you can hover your mouse over the comment bubble in front of a comment to get its timestamp. - Dan Hsiao
nice design, keep on! - Alexander Oelling

I guess they're not interested in doing a Desktop App, but it's got a lot of cool potential, in my mind. - Stu Andrews via twhirl
YES PLEASE! - Mona N.

How often do you go through your Flickr traffic logs MG? U has eegul eyes. - Josh Lowensohn
@josh - life is like a flickr traffic log, you never know what you're gonna get. - MG Siegler
Hm, interesting if they will give a preview to someone in advance, really dying to know what they are cooking now. - Svetlana Gladkova via twhirl
Also looking forward to Friendfeed Alpha after that. - j1m

Amit, that's funny. I have used Referral logs to find new sites, like ReadBurner and Shyftr, but I think for the example you mention, I'd do some calling before posting a story, which is what MG did here. :-) - Louis Gray
