If they are making GTK work properly on Mac OS X and Windows, I don't
mind the wait.

I heard about this again on Radio 4 whilst in the car earlier... While I
already knew about it, it suddenly made me realise - it's yet another
browser and DOM to code for.


Great, that makes four major browsers, each with their own 'take' on web
standards. Someone think of the developers!

Oh god no, that means we'll have to do fully standards compliant pages and
then code for the other three! I will be scouring Google's pages like a hawk
for incorrect rendering as soon as I install Chrome.


I also foresee a burgeoning macromarket in drop-in PHP classes which
autodetect the browser and beautify/uglify the code based on whether it's
Chrome or not :D

Its based on WebKit, so not really. WebKit is LGPLv2, so Safari and
all the other webkit browsers will from Google's improvements.

Chrome is using Webkit, so assuming you already count Safari as one of
your three (*) existing major browsers, you should be fine as far as
HTML rendering is concerned. V8 may show its own differences in terms of
javascript execution, but you can bet Google's test-first development
for this browser should mean there wont be many problems in the standard
code on most mainstream websites. If you're using toolkits, then it wont
be your problem anyway.

Ooo, didn't know that. That doesn't inspire a great deal of confidence
though :/

I usually find if something looks good in IE AND Firefox, Opera doesn't have
any problems... Well, maybe minor ones, usually CSS related, but rendering
wise I think it behaves particularly nicely. :)

Flash 101?

I remember someone advertising on the list that they'd recreated all these
oldskool BBC clocks in Flash, and I marvelled at the intricacy and accuracy
of some of them (particularly the mockups of the old mechanical ones) - I
was under the impression the people responsible for the redesign of the Beeb
site asked him nicely if they could use the clock for the site?
 
I might be slightly fuzzy around the edges on this one, but I don't think my
subconscious make up something as overly complex as that :)

It's here people: http://www.google.com/chrome now works!

Haven't downloaded it as I am using Linux, but I have signed up for

Linux version working.

The Google code URL doesn't appear to be working yet though.

It's pretty spiffy - very fast compared to IE7 on Vista.
I like the way you can tear-off tabs and re-attach them to a different
Chrome window - 'in-tab' pop-ups are a nice feature - It seems fairly stable
- even with over 100 tabs active it's still pretty nippy.

There's no F11 to take you into full-screen mode either..  It's a bit of a
fiddle getting the iPlayer content to fit on my screen.
Tried to install the Google toolbar to get my Google bookmarks..  it
installs the IE version and fires up IE.

Also, built in spell-check doesn't know the word "Google"!

Well that's certainly better than it crashing the entire browser!

Re: [backstage] Google Chrome

[Gary Kirk]

A lot of it is sensible but we're just not used to it. Of course a new tab
should open next to the tab you opened it from, but it doesn't work like
that in Firefox, so of course I'm looking at the far right of my screen..

Re: [backstage] Google Chrome

[Martyn Green]

So far this is  working like a rocket. Hasn't crashed yet, no major disasters 
with the renderer and I keep finding lots of nice little touches like the 
in-page search and how you can drag textareas to make them bigger. I'm sure 
there are many more. I don't think I'll be uninstalling firefox anytime soon, 
but its an impressive start.

Not sure about the logo though - it's either too much like the Windows media 
player logo - or that Simon game.
The 'help' page option on the settings menu takes me to a 404  :-|

RE: [backstage] zambians in mourning

[Christopher Woods]

I appreciate that this is a serious matter to many people, but is it really
relevant to the BBC Backstage mailing list or any of the usual topics
discussed on here? No. Please stay (at least vaguely) on-topic.
 
Unless the BBC is going to be doing some kind of twitter-liveblog mashup
from the service...
 
 
(Too soon?)
