Announcing Google's New Browser

Wednesday at 3:31 am - Link

Quote: "Because Google Chrome was not launched externally until today, we haven't yet changed Google Analytics to recognize it when you segment by browser within reports. However - this will change in the coming weeks (until then, the browser will show as Firefox). We'll let you know when the change happens." So Google Analytics has been lying to us? Did they pick Firefox so that it would look less suspicious that Safari and get lost in the other stats? - Tony Ruscoe

"The browser will show as Firefox". Why not Safari? I suppose not many people used it before launch. - Ionut

I love FriendFeed since I get to vicariously hear about Chrome, here... - Mona N.

I just don't get it. Why are people freaking out about the unification of search and URLs? Hasn't Firefox done this forever? And Opera, too? The first thing I do in any fresh install of Firefox or Opera is get rid of the extraneous search bar. - Akiva Moskovitz

+1 Akiva. - Olivier

Akiva for some reason I never did that. This is the first browser that forced the issue. - Robert Scoble

OK, I'd like Gmail Redesigned skin back, and also Remeber The Milk Gmail plug in.. I make real use of RTM, and it's good to have it in the mail. Beats MS Bloatware anytime, and it's in the cloud too :0 - Ian May

But, Akiva, this is GOOGLE doing it. Now stop resisting, you know that "resistance is futile". (where have I heard that before...?) ;-) - Sprague D

my firefox only has one box for searching and urls. when i want to do a search i type "g" first if it's on google, or "a" if it's on amazon, etc. - Ranjit Mathoda

Robert, interesting! I just assume that all geeks look for customization options within 10 minutes of installing an app. Perhaps that's one reason why I am very reluctant to embrace Apple: they don't allow me to customize. - Akiva Moskovitz

browsing from chrome now... it's amazing. - Brandon

apart for some of the UI which is innovative, chrome best part resides in its core (multi threading, multi process) and the V8 javascript VM. The webkit rendering engine is already used by safari. We can only hope that potential rendering bugs will be solved quickly. And as they are using the same engine on Android they will certainly provide some simple way to sync everything between a desktop and a mobile platform (history, bookmarks...). - Olivier

Hmm, Chrome almost runs a little too fast on bomomo.com :) - Philipp Lenssen

Is it just me, or does the "Show best of: day - week" placing look a little messed up. - Michael Forian

I think it has to do with the size of the screen? I have a 19" monitor and when my chrome is maximized (or wide enough at any rate) the "show best of" is in the far right column. as you reduce the width of the screen, the "show best of" can move into the text box area. - Justin Long

Akiva, IE since at least IE4 or 5, you can search in your toolbar. - faboo mama

Sigh, just went to FF in Safari (all webkit, right? w3c standards, right?) well FF renders fine on safari, but as evidenced above chrome doesn't get it quite right... which puts me back in my, sigh, another browser to support and billions more (aggregate) out the window to support it frame of mind, i think that will be close to 10 configurations my company's QA team now has to support testing for... though a browsing dream this is my development/testing nightmare - James Ostheimer

I only use firefix's "awesome bar." love it. Can't wait to try google. - Andrew Warner

FF is working fine in google chrome for me. Dont know how come you guys r having a problem :S N as for the cool bar of firefox i dont think it searches google does it?? not sure but i think it only searches through ur history and bookmarks to see if u want to go to one of those sites. Also did u send a report to google about the bug so they can fix it? I was having problems with facebook and chrome. The comment button of the news feed and the share button on the posted items page ain't working when i click. - Eldon

No issues here with friendfeed using Chrome either... - Dukeswharf via twhirl

I don't get application icons. What so great about them? I can make Gmail look like a separate application, but isn't it more convenient to have it just in one tab inside browser?.Now, when I want to look at something in the Internet while reading gmail, I would need to start another browser. Or I am just missing something obvious... - Peter

@Peter, for something like Google Documents which can even work offline thanks to gears, application icons make sense. - Rahul Das

@Rahul : application icons are just a shortcut to chrome without location bar & buttons. and they are like .url file which are native on windows or shortcuts to a website in Program group. So what is the point with app icons ? Gears ? they built it for other browsers too - Olivier

I think the app icons are a nice touch because they pick up what the site is in a pictorial way. I don't have to pause to read anything, I can just point and click on my desktop. - Justin Long

I don't see this here,maybe they had fixed that already - Steve

The photographer, Joe Pugliese, has a great website: http://www.joepug.com/ In fact it's so great I haven't got round to reading the Wired article yet - Adewale Oshineye

Enjoyable read except for this completely bizarre paragraph -- "Not long after that, Brin and Page came by to check in on the furtive beginnings of their browser. "I remember sitting at my desk, which at the time had a stuffed snake running along the back of it," says Pam Greene, an engineer on the team. "Sergey was bouncing on one of those exercise balls, watching Darin give a demo, and petting the snake." - Osi

"The snake, called Mr. Bigglesworth, seemed to purr softly in Sergey's lap, providing a calming influence during the demo. However, when one of the tabs crashed, taking the browser with it, Sergey's voice took a more strident turn. "I have gathered here before me the world's best developers," Sergey began, "and yet each of you has failed to kill Internet Explorer. That makes me angry. And when Sergey gets angry, Mr. Bigglesworth gets upset. And when Mr. Bigglesworth gets upset, people die!" - Karim

Sergey then pressed a nearby console button that retracted Darin's chair into the floor below. A flash of flame could be seen as the screaming developer vanished from the conference room. - Karim

/likes Karim's comment - Philipp Lenssen

Somebody help me!" Darin pleads. "I'm alive, only very badly burned!" This proves to be very distracting, and after being interrupted several times, Sergey picks up his phone, and reports the situation to a henchman. "I'll go deal with it," he assures Sergey. "If someone opens the retrieval hatch, I can get out," Darin explains. At this point, the hatch opens. Darin is at first grateful, but then a gunshot is heard. - Geoff Longman

After a pause, Sergey is satisfied Darin is dead and attempts to continue explaining his plan, only be interrupted by Darin again, who says indignantly "you shot me! You shot me right in the arm! Why did you-". Darin sentence is cut short by a second gunshot, which proves to be the end for him, as the hatch is heard to close. (http://www.moviedeaths.com/aus...) - Geoff Longman

Google’s Chrome is aimed at Windows, not IE This is no longer about browser but about the an entire marketplace spread between desktop, mobile and web. With Chrome, Google’s taking a shot at Windows, not paltry Internet Explorer I’ve covered this in more detail on my blog http://sachendra.wordpress.com... - Sachendra

I review chrome...need alot of work. see details on my blog http://trustseo.com/blog/2008/... - CeoSeo

The point of Chrome is the same point one would make about the iPhone. Will iPhone outsell Nokia worlwide in total number of phones sold? Not a chance in hell! Has it changed the face of mobile phones forever...absolutely. This is where I think Chrome is a fantastic concept. By open sourcing D8 Google has literally empowered every other browser including Safari and Firefox to be Windows beaters. In actual fact IE may even implemented their own canibalised V8 to canibalise their Microsofts existing fat client business. If you ask me, Google is the master of judo in this case. google 2 MSFT 0 - John Kotsaftis via feedalizr

I haven't been able to find many details about the V8 design, but it's apparently a straight JIT (no interpreter) with inline caching of property accessors. I didn't see anything about HotSpot/TraceMonkey-style optimizing compilation, and it doesn't seem to use any intermediate language. (http://code.google.com/apis/v8...) Is this the future of dynamic language runtimes? Am I a nerd? - Jim Norris

Nice to see Wired putting out a great article in a timely manner for a change - rather than spend page upon page talking about minor internet celebs and how they gatecrashed gawker media parties to build their fame. - Jonathan Beckett

Jim, tracemonkey should still be faster. Paul friendfeeded an article comparing them. I should say that tracemonkey will still be faster eventually, unless V8 adds hotspot-like tracing as well, in which case, my money would ride on V8, since Google probably has half of the hotspot team :) - Sanjeev Singh

“Here's an idea not everyone will like: Firefox and IE should drop their rendering engines and switch to Webkit (used by Safari and Chrome). Then we wouldn't have the added annoyance of targeting three different DOMs.”

I'm sure someone will say something about "competition", but since it's open-source, they can continue to compete, just as Google has with their new JS engine, V8. Since everyone would be starting from the same point, they would all have the burden of not breaking compatibility. - Paul Buchheit

Microsoft would embrace and extend, creating WebKit Expression '09, and Firefox would only use WebKit 520 for the next 3 years, complaining that Apple and Google won't slow down their development to accommodate an 18 month development cycle. - Mark Trapp

NO -- webkit is at least poorly studied for security vulnerabilities, I don't want to live with swiss-cheese-alike crap from fruity company JUST because some few entrepreneurs want to make their life easier!!! - silpol

if only they would - Robin Barooah

Mark+++ - Rahsheen(isSoAwesome)

Extending the product is a good thing -- it's how the platform advances. As long as it's all open-source, we all win. - Paul Buchheit

It's not that everybody should like it. It's that they should all do it. - Louis Gray

Actually, that's already been discussed as part of the Gears' strategy... simply make Webkit a plugin for Firefox and IE. It's actually not *that* outlandish. - Chris Messina

Paul, the problem is WebKit is licensed under the LGPL; Microsoft could merely create a plugin to WebKit that did all of its extra features. They really wouldn't receive all that much flak about it, either. - Mark Trapp

That makes sense. It will never happen. - Khürt Williams via twhirl

@Chris - I recall that being mentioned at google code. I wonder what it would take to make a plugin for IE or firefox to use complete chrome processes as an 'accelerator' - Robin Barooah

Yeah, an IE "plugin" is the way to go. That way users don't even need to change their habits or UI, and it could potentially fall-back to IE for sites that still don't work with webkit. There's just no advantage to having different rendering engines at this point. It's high cost, low benefit. - Paul Buchheit

Didn't Netscape 9 allow users to choose which rendering engine they wanted to use? - Tony Ruscoe

@Tony: Netscape 8 did: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T...) . You'll need to manually type the closing bracket, it is being excluded as part of the URL and I can't manually fix it. - nadim

for you all dearst proponents of single engine - go read "1984" book... dependence on one engine (or any subsystem, when it comes to that) for whole world is dangerous... and utterly stupid when it is done for sake of small group's convenience :-/ - silpol

Yes, it would be just like 1984 :) - Paul Buchheit

@slipol - that would be true if we were talking about one engine developed by one company, but with an open-source project with many developers, I don't see how this could be a problem. Do you think that hundreds (maybe thousands) of developers worldwide will all collude to do something evil? Well, if so, some other people will come along and create a fork. In fact, WebKit was forked off of khtml. Let's not forget to thank the KDE folk for the good engine to begin with. - Robert Felty

Why would the two most popular browsers in the world change? - Globecode

Crazy talk! - Andrew Badera

Rob, the problem that silpol is presumably saying exists with a monoculture is that everybody is vulnerable to the same diseases. This has happened in the past where security vulnerabilities in compression and encryption libraries have made huge amounts of unrelated software vulnerable. But Paul has a good point that a dominant platform certainly makes things easier for the developer, which is why there are millions more apps for Windows than any other platform. - Gabe Schaffer

You are making a big discussion out of nothing. The hypotesis that if they all use the same basis, that will have the same DOM, they will be interoperable. That has been proved wrong: all the web browsers out there already have the same working basis (Web Standards) and still they messed things up. What makes you believe that this would be different? - Marcos Marado via fftogo

Marcos, the difference is that they all started from very different places and IE and Firefox both have a lot of historical gunk. Web standards wasn't their working basis, the browser wars of the 90s was. The browsers have been converging for years now, which makes web development a lot better than it used to be, but that only emphasizes the uselessness of having multiple rendering engines. The monoculture argument is of course nonsense. Having three engines isn't going to make the world any safer, especially since they use the same base libraries. - Paul Buchheit

I agree!! - Wayne Sutton

This would definitely make life easier on the web developers - however monocultures usually result in a mediocre product. - Josh Smith

I agree - Roberto Bonini

@Paul I can only assume that you proclaim monoculture argument as nonsense only because you've never seen domino effect on large scale, with species of slightly different nature still staying... I've heard same kind of argumentation from Opera people as they were bragging on idea of "one proper engine under one proper standards" only to show them a bunch of weak points in their cardboard architecture, granted I had apropriate tools. But... Whatever. - silpol

The monoculture argument is based entirely on analogy, which makes for nice stories, but is a very weak form of evidence. - Paul Buchheit

Paul, but if they really wanted to interoperate, i.e. If the browser wars were really over, then they would just stop the last few years nonsense and go for standards compliance. Why did Apple fork KHTML? Why does IE insist in not adapting standards? Ultimately what matters for both end users and web developers is that each browser sees the same page in the same way. It's fictitious to say that the way to acomplish this is making them use the same code (why not use your argument for Javascript?): the way to do this is simply to follow the rules - in the web case, standards. - Marcos Marado via fftogo

Why bother with HTML, JS and others such standards then? Let's close up those shops and just standardize everything through Webkit. Which is great, unless if for whatever reason Webkit doesn't work on your device (or until the great Webkit fork). Let's standardize DOM instead, ne? :) - David Lee

Standardization is hard because there's a large amount of pages crafted specifically for quirks particular browsers. Going standard breaks them. - 9000

it sucks that it doesn't work on Windows Mobile yet.... ugh, I'm stuck in the stone age with IE6... - Harold

This conversation is so all over the place, I don't even know where to begin. All I can say is that 1985 wasn't as bad as I would have thought, seeing as it came after 1984. - Chris Messina

LOL hehehehe! - Susan Beebe

What's the point? You're still going to have to support IE6 for a decade anyway, and any new browser has to not break old apps. It's like those people who suggest that MS just replace the Windows kernel with Linux, as if all old apps will suddenly disappear, leaving the slate clean for all the glorious new apps to come. - Gabe Schaffer

that's one idea i love! standardization, baby! - stefan

Until someone decides that engine is crap and writes their own? - Robert Konigsberg
