the best browser advertisement (most informative yet funny) I have ever seen. I didn't think I'd try it, but now I will.
(although FF3 was already a rather nice improvement for me)

AWESOME presentation!! :D
I am usually indifferent or only slightly interested in such presentations usually, but this rocks my socks off! Will definitely be trying it out.
One thing though: Is this supposed to be a tongue-in-cheek reference to Steve Jobs: http://www.google.com/googlebooks/chrome/images/37.jpg?
See the guy with the globe sneaking off :P

AFAIK, Google are the sponsors behind Firefox... But now they've re-developed a browser from scratch, and what's more it's based on Webkit and not Gecko (as FF is).
It would be nice to know whether Google intends to support two competitive projects, or... else? Anyone? Chris?

Nokia's doing that to a certain extent too: their MicroB browser for the Internet Tablet is Gecko-based, but they were the main sponsor behind WebKit's GTK binding, and now owns Trolltech which has WebKit bindings.

Google just renewed their contract with Mozilla Corp. last week, and for a 3 year period this time instead of the 2 year renewal period they've been using to date. So apparently Google *will* be supporting two competitive projects until 2011, at least; plus the timing suggests that this is an intentional decision on Google's part.
What future for Firefox Posted Sep 2, 2008 23:59 UTC (Tue) by qg6te2 (guest, #52587) [Link] If the goal is to reduce the influence of Internet Exploder (and hence by extension the influence of MS), it makes sense for Google to support two browser projects. Instead of people having only two viable choices (i.e. IE and Firefox), three is better, simply as IE is now outnumbered with viable competition. Some people may not like the new interpretation of tabbing in Chrome (or they might be uncomfortable with "new" features) and hence they would stick to either IE or Firefox. On the other hand, people who do not like the "standard" tabbing approach in IE or Firefox (or are comfortable with "new" features) may go for the Chrome browser. This is somewhat akin to a company releasing the same product (say, potato chips) under two different brands, priced differently. Some people will think that the higher priced chips are "better" and hence would buy these, while other people are on a budget and hence would go for the lower priced alternative. Either way the company profits at the expense of the competition.

And also will the CAcert root certificate be distributed with Google Chrome? Given Google's willingness to provide a list of bogus sites I wonder will they also help to end the commercial SSL certificate racket?

Seconded. This work of art makes even the GNOME release notes look bad by
comparison. (When was the last time you could call release notes a work of art? When was the last time you found someone describing crummy plugin security amusing?)

Amusingly, the comic avoids traditional web links, using javascript in such a way that the back button does not work correctly for me, and the Next link silently does nothing at the end of the comic.
If this sort of overengineered yet buggy mindset is going into chrome...
Well done Posted Sep 3, 2008 13:16 UTC (Wed) by markhb (guest, #1003) [Link] well, considering that Google hired the guy who literally wrote the book on graphic literature, it's not surprising that the comic is excellent. I'll see how the browser is momentarily...
