Google Chrome v3.0.182.2 has small menu text:

do not like - bnoise
I'm struggling to read the text! Why did it do that? :-( - Kol Tregaskes
Not sure what you are seeing -- seems to be different from what I see. - Brian Sullivan
The text in the tabs, the tab in the address box and the text for the bookmarks are tiny to what they were. Also all the menus are the same, rubbish! :-( - Kol Tregaskes
This is on what O/S ? - Brian Sullivan
Brain, I've been told it's a bug in the "international", i.e. non-US, version, to be fixed in the next build. :-( - Kol Tregaskes
@Brain: that is so Vista or Win 7. - Wizetux
Windows 7 RC. - Kol Tregaskes
it's a bug. Google will fix it in the next update. It's only tiny in the international versions, not in the US version. - Svartling
how did you make your friendfeed look like this ? - fwed
I've *never* used FF without it. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes
Hehe ok :) And the gmail icon corner down left ? Comes with Chrome 3 ? - fwed
Just downloaded that userstyle - not 100% on it... where's the grey?! - Rich
No that is one of the plugins from v2, trying to find the links... - Kol Tregaskes
Rich, grey where? - Kol Tregaskes
Thank you :) Is there a plugin too for userstyles ? - fwed

I'll try. Thank - Daniel Alvarez
I find it strange that an app that looks so complex, with so many group, activity, and timeline features—for a service that became wildly popular because it is drop-dead simple—is being marketed to "people who value their time." - David Chartier
Groups, Channels, Filters, Contexts... *faints* ... (hint: paradox of choice) - Rameez Nooruddin
Looks good and promises syncing between the desktop and iPhone clients. For that reason alone it's well worth a try, when it's finally available - Gilbert Harding
So were do I get it? And does it work on Linux? - Peter
Look interesting but untill I can try it I really can't judge it. - Kim Landwehr

"Currently it seems the top three services fighting for the “real time feed” crown are Twitter, FriendFeed and Facebook. Dave Winer recently asked what FriendFeed would be if it didn’t pull in Twitter - the answer is simple: a service with very little activity. But for all three services, I find that there is nothing but confusion over the structure of how the three services work together and can imagine that mainstream Internet users face the same issues. I will use Friendfeed in the examples below because it faces the most mainstream issues but there are similar issues with all three services." - Kol Tregaskes from Bookmarklet
It seems that commentators consider they are fighting it but I think FF has alot of different things to offer like trending information that has had lots of comments or likes. Neither Twitter nor Facebook does this. You could argue that twitter has hashtags and the search but this is limited. Just adding a comment makes the FF experience very different. Sure there is duplication at the... more... - Karen Purves
I recall seeing Leo Laporte strongly disagree with that sentiment. There's plenty of activity on Friendfeed, and if it didn't have all the noise from twitter it would be easier to see the good content. The commentators aren't fighting it, but some of the bloggers are. There's a huge fragmentation and disconnect in the discussions on given items, and what seems to suffer the most is the... more... - guruvan (Rob Nelson)
I actually block all tweet without comments or likes... they just completely degrade signal to noise for me. - Björn Brembs
I use a "no twitter" filter (-service:twitter) for noise reduction, but don't mind the tweets most of the time. - Neil Saunders
There's a long thread on this over here: http://friendfeed.com/allenst... - Ken Sheppardson
Ah, thanks, Ken. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
