Popcorned1 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Did you guys know it has a real time HTML editor built in ? Web designers are going to love this, being able to play with website styles inline and all. How do you get that open? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicane-UK Veteran Posted September 3, 2008 Veteran Share Posted September 3, 2008 It's certainly provoking lots of discussion! The Chrome thread has been top of the Neowin most recent posts section for.. well, since it came out! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVG Veteran Posted September 3, 2008 Veteran Share Posted September 3, 2008 How do you get that open? It isn't an editor.. Its the inspector (Diagnostic tool, sort of) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.KICK Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I wish it had a better image properties, not liking the image elements when you right click an image to view its stats! Needs something like Firefox or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsupersonic Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 It isn't an editor.. Its the inspector (Diagnostic tool, sort of) The resources tab on the inspector is really cool. Tells you things like how fast javascript renders, and the size too. For those of you that don't know how to get to it, right click on a page, and select, "Inspect Element."

ViperAFK Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 ok now we need some sort of adblock... and middle mouse click to scroll the page... :D Best workaround right now is using hosts file (mvps.org) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee G. Veteran Posted September 3, 2008 Veteran Share Posted September 3, 2008 Wow, this is looking pretty good so far (Y) Bearing in mind it's a first beta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellofsouls Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 If this was the very first release of the engine, it'd be an acceptable answer, but this stuff worked fine in earlier releases, so these are broken/regressions. well, considering how much they have hacked the engine, I'd say it's kinda expected. The resources tab on the inspector is really cool. Tells you things like how fast javascript renders, and the size too. somehow it only works after a page load, not the first time, which I remember was one of Safari's pre-3.1 bugs, but got fixed in 3.1 I haven't tried the browser yet, since I am waiting till I get home to test it, but can you edit the javascript in real time too? Because I smell exploits all over the place here lol. But I guess what you can do with the Chrome real time, you could do with IE and firefox, just not in real time. I don't know how exploiting your own computer would be... exploits. You are editing it on the client side, which won't affect anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikee99 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 What I find odd about Chrome is that it runs slower than Firefox on my P3 800. Yet, it runs faster than Firefox on my Athlon X2. Safari is the same way. I wonder if maybe the Gecko engine works better on older single-threaded CPU's, whereas Webkit runs better on multi-threaded systems. Chrome is also slower with Flash animations. Having said that, for a beta, this browser does pack a punch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ViperAFK Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Probably because chrome runs separate processes for every tab and for plugins so I'd imagine it in inherently will run better with multiple cores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudy Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 yea the performance gain will mopst likely only be seen on 2+ cores will be interesting to see on 4-8 cores computers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I don't really do any sort of awe-inspiring crazy creative posts in my web browser, it will be something I will keep in the back of my mind for when such an occasion may arise. Pretty ridiculous though IMO. :no: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denis W. Veteran Posted September 3, 2008 Veteran Share Posted September 3, 2008 border-radius corners are un-anti-aliased (they are in the Cairo and CoreGraphics ports), text-shadow is non-existent (it's in the Cairo and CoreGraphics ports) and border-radius and box-shadow gives you black filled areas there the border is rounded (So instead of being transparent, it has a purely back square background) The only thing I noticed was the lack of text-shadow on Neowin's tabs . Chrome is great, tried it in a Virtual Machine. Can't run it in the main machine because it doesn't even start unfortunately. That happened right after install, but I was able to start Chrome normally from the Start menu. Blasphemy! The OS X UI's still there! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supernova_00 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 (edited) That "Editor" is nothing more than Mozilla's DOMInspector. Well it might be a little easier to use like firebug. <snipped - Persephone> Edited September 3, 2008 by Persephone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayepecks Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 That's a pretty damn big share for just getting released. Already bigger than Opera, haha... sorry to Opera fans, but I think that's justified. :) Wonder what sites it tracks, though? Is the data skewed?
