needless to say, i feel old-fashioned, behind on the hip buzzwords, and slightly stupid, too.

In this context I've always understood it as "fancy mac term for border" yes :)

Too bad these "chromeless window" tricks aren't possible anymore, it allowed for pretty interesting things. But I guess the security risk of having a browser window that was not really recognizable as a separate window was a too big.

Oh, as far as I understood it, chrome:// is the way of referencing the browser window itself, as opposed to a web page, in XUL (mozilla extension/gui scripting thing). But someone will probably correct me there.

skrebbel: Whenever I want to change anything in Firefox, some wikipedia or Digg-article always refer me to change something in "the chrome config file".

oh my god, so "chrome" really is a hip css-homo word for border. why? what was ever wrong with "border"?

Actually!

It's pretty neat that the near-40 page comic book is actually helpful against pretty much any poorly founded and retarded post in this thread.

I suggest you read it.

what shifter said.

I loved the comic book, yeah.

comics have always been the best pedagogy/propaganda means ;)

crap.

People that use browsers are faggots. I read the internet through telnet in ASCII motherfuckers!

Hello there, sailor!

Oh come on. The comic was gay. And so are tabs! What, I have to select my browser window and THEN click on the tab I want, rather than just selecting the browser window I want? If people have a problem with the way windows work in windowing systems, why not work on that, instead of creating a new windowing system for each application?

Isolating each browser session is nice, but this type of thinking is supposed to be revolutionary or something? That's just using a MULTITASKING operating system the way it's meant to be used.

And why can't they call a JIT compiler what it is instead of pretending to have just invented the concept?

Etc.

5 hours till a beta is available, for some reason i am really exited.

I heard it was delayed...

for some reason, i just don't fucking care at all

alumunum: interesting but i am also excited.

in the end, even if it might turn out to be a bad idea, if one can try it and also is brave enough to try; then why not?

just give it a go, and if you don't like it then don't use it. and for fuck's sake stop bitching about it before you even get to see it running...

Comin' right back atcha!


I guess you've never worked tabs. Else you'd know just how dumb this sounds.


Except this has not been properly done for a browser before.


Because the target audience never knew the loving caress of being a bitter Amiga freak? The comic is a pretty simplistic (but clear) outline for the average user.

You forgot IE8 ... hum... yeah forget it. :p

yeah, the keyword being "proper" :(

This JIT thing. I wonder.. Is it a JIT like the Java ones from 98/99 ? I mean: compile only when loading a code file? It seems to me Javascript has dynamic object types meaning not everything can be JITted or it has to be compiled anew from time to time?

but ps.. virtualization is the future!!!

so, where are the demos?
