Chrome

September 8th, 2008, by The Angry Drunk

You’re dead to me Chrome. Seriously, I gave it a week; and I’m not see­ing any­thing com­pelling. Back to Safari on Windows.

    The main thing I’m find­ing it use­ful for is site spe­cific browsers. For instance, I have cre­ated an “appli­ca­tion” to access work’s bugzilla data­base, another to access our inter­nal cus­tomer track­ing sys­tem, and one for Google Reader. As a gen­eral pur­pose browser, though, I’m going back to Safari.

    Safari on Windows? Really? Didn’t you mean Firefox on Windows?

    @Jacko: No, I meant Safari on Windows. Firefox can suck my dick on any platform.

    @The Angry Drunk: Sticking to the dick-sucking metaphor, Safari on Windows hasn’t got an ad blocker like it’s Mac brother, which makes it the slutty crabby Safari. Firefox on the other hand… job.

    Thank You!! Could some­one puh­leeeese explain this love affair with Firefox that most peo­ple seem to be hav­ing? It takes a minute and a half to load on my machine when Safari takes five sec­onds, and can’t scroll except in quarter-screen jerks. And those are its least annoy­ing features!

    @Jacko: You know, I hon­estly don’t get the obses­sion with ad block­ing that every­one seems to have. Maybe it’s because I’m not some ADHD rid­dled crack­head; but I make do by just ignor­ing the damned things.

    I find that I can block 80% of ads and nearly all of the really annoy­ing ones by just turn­ing off flash (or in the case of Safari, turn off plug-ins). If I want to actu­ally use flash, it isn’t very hard to turn back on in a few seconds.

    When the ads stick in their regions of the page, I have no prob­lem with them. I’ve even seen an inter­est­ing one a time or two.

    But the pop-up/pop-under/take-over-the-whole-screen ones? Those I wouldn’t mind block­ing. But I don’t see them every often, really.
