The Significance of Google Chrome (15)

Dare Obasanjo aka Carnage4Life (134) permalink
A few weeks ago Google released the beta of Google Chrome, a new Web browser based on WebKit. Since then there has been a lot of interesting hype and backlash against the hype about Chrome. Two great examples of the hype and the corresponding backlash are Mike Arrington's Meet Chrome, Google’s Windows Killer and Ted Dziuba's article Chrome-fed Googasm bares tech pundit futility in response.

Microsoft IE8 and Google Chrome - Processes are the New Threads (14)
on
Scott Hanselman's Computer Zen (180) permalink
I happened to install Google Chrome (Alpha) the same day I installed Internet Explorer 8 (Beta). I noticed immediately, as I'm sure many of you have, that both browsers isolate tabs in different processes. Unix folks have known about the flexibility of forking a process forever. In Unix, fork() is just about the easiest thing you can do. Also, fork()ing in Unix will copy the whole process and all variables into a new space.

IEBlog : Microsoft CSS Vendor Extensions (28)
on
IEBlog (43) permalink
As you may know, all browsers have a set of CSS features that are either considered a vendor extension (e.g. -ms-interpolation-mode), are partial implementations of properties that are fully defined in the CSS specifications, or are implementation of properties that exist in the CSS specifications, but aren’t completely defined. According to the CSS 2.1 Specification, any of the properties that fall under the categories listed previously must have a vendor specific prefix, such as '-ms-' ...Shared by afahy (1) codefin (10) Compuwizard123 (27) Dimitri Glazkov (0) Fraser Pearce (1) Goatlady (22) Guillermo Esteves (28) halans (20) hober (23) Inferis (3) Kai Pahl (3) Keith (0) Klaus Hartl (7) mako (0) marchbox (3) Michal Stankoviansky (18) Milan Zoufal (1) Nicolas Lehuen (1) old9 (15) Patrick Haney (2) Peter N (15) Robert Accettura (24) Sebastian Werner (21) Shane (13) Sparanoid (14) ultraviolet (31) web (2) 菡萏 (23)- Sebastian Werner said: Basically a good idea but with a few negative aspects which really gives me the idea that nobody at Microsoft really work on its own with CSS.
