Works great on the latest nightly.

negative

Because Chrome isnt a new(er) browser and its entirely original right???Themes, extensions, tabs...all new :whistle:

Further , Google Chrome introduced Javascript performance , prior to that , it was just unknown to everyone and those ppl were fools who said , see , Firefox does that j word faster and now my Facebook is faster than on IE :p

Can anybody tell me what WebM is please? :)

The WebM Project is a Google-sponsored project dedicated to create an open and royalty free video format that provides high quality video compression for use with HTML5 video.

The WebM format consists of the VP8 video codec developed by On2 and the Vorbis audio codec, in a container format based on a profile of Matroska.[2][3][4] The project releases WebM related software under a BSD License with patent clause.

Didn't Opera come up with their dreadful rendition of tabs on top after Chrome?

i don;t think that counts for innovation. which of them got their tabs on top first...

chrome gave the start with some innovations like multi process browsing (better than loosely coupled IE implementation) and supported performance war :)

but i'm sure the others browsers (firefox, ie, opera, safari etc...) had a lot of more innovations because they were here a long time ago.

btw i like chrome but i can't understand how a browser doesn't have rss support... not that i use it that much.

LOL , after my terrible exprience about Copying menu button of firefox by opera thread i posted earlier , i doubt there is something called Innovation by individual company!!

WebM is fairly slow (720p WebM = 78% CPU, 720p Theora = 45% CPU), but that will change in time.

Yes , because this is initial non-public releases

On Mac OS X it still sucks; OOP plugins don't work with the latest nightly - every time I go to YouTube it claims that I don't have the flash plugin installed (when I do). Then there is the continued lack of tab process isolation which makes it even worse.

I don't want to sound like a downer but Firefox on Mac royally sucks - when it someone going to do something about it?

It's a nightly, bugs are to be expected.

For me, YouTube doesn't repaint properly, Flash doesn't receive keyboard events, full screen opens up unfocused (so you need to click on the screen to interact with it) and there's no right click menu.

OOP QuickTime's worse (it either doesn't redraw at all, or displays every second frame flipped vertically)

To compete with performance of h264, webM need to acquire hardware acceleration. (You can't beat 0%...)

In other words, WebM can only be called performance-friendly on systems that support hardware WebM decoding.

Although, then we can then compare GPU unitization h264 vs. WebM.

I've got today's build but i can't view webm videos...

Try viewing this

webm=1&html5=1

no all videos will work , do check for bold content above

Thanks , updated :D

The problem is that in my case the plugin doesn't work at all because the browser doesn't even detect the existence of the plugin. I can handle bugginess but the damn thing isn't working at all.
