I agree with everything that jadavis01 said. Nothing seems to be a high priority for Chromium devs, not the least of which is implementing useful and desired features that have been requested by users. They are too stuck up on their high-horse thinking they can change the Web/they know what is best, but of course they don't!
The only thing different I have to say is that unfortunately, even the latest version of Firefox is definitely not faster nor smoother than Chrome. Firefox's XUL interface is slow and laggy, and I'm glad Chrome did not follow in that manner, but instead returned to platform- native GUI/graphics drawing. Also, Firefox's Javascript still is not up to par with Chrome's V8 nor WebKit's Nitro. Sigh.... what is really want is Firefox's full functionality coupled with V8's performance..... Wonder if Mozilla will ever consider that? On Oct 16, 7:54 am, Jim Davis <[email protected]> wrote: > Calming down :) I didn't me to rant, actually.
