icons and some features are similar to IE and FF...they even mention taking components from Firefox and apple's webkitIt isn't a cross between anything. It's a new generation of web browser written from the ground up in a completely different way.
From the way it handles security, to separate tabs. Everything is sandboxed, each page and object (a java script, a flash file etc) run in their own processes. It is quite unique and a complete rethink of how a browser should be constructed.
It's a public beta, thinking it will work on everyone's machine first run out is a bit ridiculous.
which version of XP? XP Pro aint be working for meI just installed it on my XP machine and it works fine. No problems so far with Java and Flash.
FF doesnt work at all in your office?tis not working for me but im at work, only IE and Safari work here. Anyone know any tricks to make chrome or FF 3 work?
That's what I'm wondering, too. If it was open source I might give it a go...I have a hard time installing a browser from a company that's entire purpose is gathering marketing information and pushing you adds.
XP Pro, SP3.which version of XP? XP Pro aint be working for me
it is open sourceThat's what I'm wondering, too. If it was open source I might give it a go...
our geeks in IT block most websites because it hogs "too much bandwidth"nope! it used to but I think IT did something to block it.
same w/ all 3 of my computers..still a no goXP Pro, SP3.
i can get on most sites, but any pictures or vids usually dont show.yeah they do that too. I can go to pinkbike and rm but not mtbr, I think that is pretty funny.
Each tab runs as it's own process (or set thereof). The "application" runs as one process. Then the rendering engine handles RM in one process, CNN.com runs in another rendering engine instance, in it's own process. Then each object on those pages (JS/Flash/Ruby etc) runs as ITS own process. This way if something has a memory leak it doesn't bring the entire computer to a crawl, if something crashes JS you don't lose your whole browser etc.icons and some features are similar to IE and FF...they even mention taking components from Firefox and apple's webkit
i understand its a new design, but how are the tabs any different than whats been done already?
and granted their concept on "sandboxxing" each tab from each other is great...just wished it worked.
and i didnt think it would be perfect as a first public beta, but it aint working on 3 of my computers....hell their site about the product isnt even working really
incognito mode would be good if i didnt care how much porn showed up on my history.
If you truly believe that, you are delusional.It isn't a cross between anything. It's a new generation of web browser written from the ground up in a completely different way.
Go read the whitepages on it, as well as the open source info on it. It is completely different from a software architecture standpoint than any other browser currently available.If you truly believe that, you are delusional.
point taken. i understand the design concept on this part, but thats the only thing really unique and different with this browserEach tab runs as it's own process (or set thereof). The "application" runs as one process. Then the rendering engine handles RM in one process, CNN.com runs in another rendering engine instance, in it's own process. Then each object on those pages (JS/Flash/Ruby etc) runs as ITS own process. This way if something has a memory leak it doesn't bring the entire computer to a crawl, if something crashes JS you don't lose your whole browser etc.
The sandboxing is dependent on this. Each process is jailed. It can't spawn a popup, it can't install anything, it can't snoop on you.
From an application architecture standpoint, it is genius.
Hopefully those processes have a tiny footprint. Or I'm in trouble if I run it.Each tab runs as it's own process (or set thereof).
That one unique part is the entire point of it.point taken. i understand the design concept on this part, but thats the only thing really unique and different with this browser
They do. They also FULLY return memory to the pool when you close a tab (end the process). This doesn't happen now and is why when you a ton of tabs open and then close them, things don't get faster. Fragmenting and leaks mean that not all memory gets returned, so it grabs more memory.Hopefully those processes have a tiny footprint. Or I'm in trouble if I run it.
Are you sure you aren't an ex-drama queen?<snip>
As an ex-developer, this is HUGE. If I was still doing that full time I would be regarding chrome as the holy grail.
well then im curious, why do you think FF3 didnt change its crashing habits? or use something similar to this?That one unique part is the entire point of it.
It is written from the ground up for modern day browsing behavior and to counter modern risks. All the other browsers out there are designed around the 1997 web. Things have changed, drastically.
This has been a historically big gripe with FF.They do. They also FULLY return memory to the pool when you close a tab (end the process). This doesn't happen now and is why when you a ton of tabs open and then close them, things don't get faster. Fragmenting and leaks mean that not all memory gets returned, so it grabs more memory.
Hmmm.... if they have some way to block ads from Google, I might try this new browser.It is a larger footprint with 1 or 2 windows, and then it falls drastically from there, as well as over time with 1 or 2 windows.
Your FF3 crashes?well then im curious, why do you think FF3 didnt change its crashing habits? or use something similar to this?
Because it requires a complete rewrite. No reusing bits of code. It's a huge process and honestly, hard to do when you already have shipping products and a team that is fully invested themselves into those projects.well then im curious, why do you think FF3 didnt change its crashing habits? or use something similar to this?
all the f-ing timeYour FF3 crashes?
Mine doesn't.
makes senseBecause it requires a complete rewrite. No reusing bits of code. It's a huge process and honestly, hard to do when you already have shipping products and a team that is fully invested themselves into those projects.
Starting fresh, fresh team, fresh ideas is really the only way to do it.
well, 2 out of the 3 are Dell's. i found the problem, thanksWeird. Something's broke.
user error?well, 2 out of the 3 are Dell's. i found the problem, thanks
not my call. i build my own. work FAILED again w/ the decision to get Dells..again.user error?
Dude...It's not crashing because your machine is a Dell
yeah i know its not dell's fault they make a crappy computer w/ crappy parts...i did try to change the about.config settings to make it fasterIt's not crashing because your machine is a Dell
Interesting about Chrome... will have to check it out.
i wish my dell computers came with a party sized bong like that dude got.Dude...
You got a Dell...
