I just wish the match were more. Microsoft will match 4x as much. One of the few perks that were better at MS.

Something else Google did that nobody mentioned. They paid their Adsense providers EARLY so we would have it for Christmas....at least the ones on auto-draft. I thought that was a very sweet thing to do. Nobody brags when they do us favors, but everybody complains all the time....

- Kim Landwehr
only reason i use chrome now is that the area is larger than any other browser provides doesn't have a status bar or even toolbar, and tabs are in the window border ;) but i can't leave my old horse yeah firefox

@ffcode look at this http://bit.ly/wuGi. i use a similar setup on my netbook and it's quite good. (i can't live with my firefox extensions)
- progitto
The surprising thing is Chrome is so fast and got good market share and is yet to unleash the plugins which will sure bring in more techies and developers and the influencer crowd.

- Charles Ying
that is cool and cruel
- Thierry Lhôte
Hahaha :) Very cruel indeed. Curious to see if this is adopted, corporate users who have IE may still be unable to even install a plugin... but at the very least this still lowers the barrier to HTML5 enabled pages.
- James Kuypers
It is not even fork, it is inside piracy... this is provocation ;-)
- Thierry Lhôte
Do the people who don't have permissions to install a non-IE browser have permissions to install plugins?
- Sean O'Connor
Sean, think of enterprises who have IE6-only legacy internal apps. CF lets them build _new_ internal apps to HTML5, so that someday they can leave IE6. Otherwise they need to dual-target _all_ their apps to IE6 and modern browsers before they can switch. Painful. Also, many enterprises who feel it's too disruptive to move from IE6 may be okay with installing CF, because it's default-off. Let's say half of all enterprises do. Now the need to support IE6 goes down even more.
- Daniel Dulitz
Fantastic hack but won't take off. Fix the core issue and get people to upgrade or switch, enough with the band-aids.
- Dave Evans
Very cool stuff
- Charlie Anzman
Now what about a firefox plugin? Is this open source chromium or chrome...
- James Michael Mike DuPont
Dave, the core issue is that enterprises with IE6-only legacy internal apps don't have the resources to run a modern browser. CF fixes the core issue.
- Daniel Dulitz
Dave hit my issue dead-on. Installing a plugin is a cheat when the real issue is educating people on why more modern browsers are better.

"education" is typically the worst solution to a technical problem.
- Paul Buchheit
yes, education is a slow solution, because most people tend to resist change. better show them there is a better way without forcing them to change anything :)
- George Moga
I'd actually love to see the opposite: IE8 running inside Chrome, just like the IE Tab plugin for Firefox. I use Chrome for almost everything, but Outlook webmail looks and works so much better in IE8, and I doubt that Microsoft will be working very hard to fix that.
- Tudor Bosman
Tudor, yeah being able to choose the browser type for a tab would be really cool for testing websites.

One of the most frustrating things as a Googler is not being able to offer info & commentary (due to legal constraints) on so many fascinating issues of the day facing our society!

Especially for those of us who love communicating, enjoy clarifying, and so on... it's like Shave 'n' a Haircut next to Roger Rabbit (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...). Thankfully, though, I have better self-control than Roger :)

Do other companies limit what their employees can say about politics? Didn't a lot of Googlers work on the Obama campaign? I must be missing something
- Robert Felty
Ah, sorry for the confusion, Robert. I'm talking about things like the current debates about Google Books, YouTube, copyright, fair use, competition, etc. Our lawyers at Google rock: they're friendly, open, and approachable. But they're also not stupid, and they have (absolutely understandably) told us not to say anything that relates to pending legal issues involving the company.
- Adam Lasnik
And, as you've rightly noted, our freedom of expression in political, religious, and other contexts is not affected; we have many MANY Googlers who are outspoken about controversial issues (speaking on behalf of themselves, not the company. :)
- Adam Lasnik
good to know that you have better self-control than Roger Rabbit. I - on the other hand, do not :P

"For instance, I just got off the phone with the census bureau and they asked me how many hours do I work in a week. And my answer, basically, was I work 24 hours a day. Even when I’m sleeping I’m working. I’m talking with you, I’m working. I get up first thing in the morning, the computer goes on, I’m answering e-mails. I go out to lunch, I have a discussion with someone, it’s about music, it’s about art. I go to a museum. Even in the cab I’m on the phone doing business. I’m always working. My life is making work. That’s why I’m here. People are surprised that it’s possible to get as much work done as I do. It’s very simple. I choose to work. I don’t go on a vacation. I’m not interested in that."

" If you’re going to be a composer today you have to understand not just what the guitar can do but what the electric guitar can do, because that is one of the new instruments of the 20th century, along with the drum set and the electric organ and the saxophone, and now, the turntable. These are new instruments and you need to include them in your language. It’s here, it’s available. If Mozart were alive today, believe me, he’d be incorporating all those instruments and writing for them."
