Chrome and MySpace Example

Google now has the Chrome Section Live and Downloadable
http://www.google.com/chrome

I have downloaded it and I am trying it now! I must say I am actually really enjoying the speed, and the viewing area along with a bunch of other features.

So far, the only problems with Chrome I seem to be having are on some MySpace pages. Here is an example of what it is doing with some text on some MySpace pages. I have not seen this happen on a non-MySpace webpage yet.

But, well.. I cant say too much about that.. because.. well.. they are MySpace pages. No offense to anyone or their theme / layout on MySpace.. it’s just that the coding is SO not the best coding. I can see what is causing the problems, and it is more of bad coding for the layouts and not the browser’s fault.

New information on the Google Browser named "Chrome"

I thought I would check out to see what the latest Firefox has in store.  I downloaded the latest Firefox 3.03b beta

A few things I have noticed after playing around -

• When I goto Google Email, it does not freeze and crash! Ya!! I have re downloaded, reinstalled, disabled all add ons and still could not get Firefox to quit crashing. Firefox 3 is not crashing!
• Disable CSS Quickly by clicking View | Page Style | No Style - Great for Web Developers testing CSS and also disabling for accessibility issues. No need to download a separate program to disable cssin a few clicks.
• It is titled "Minefield"
• When you close the browser and have tabs open, it asks you if you want to open the tabs on the next start
• Keyboard navigation of web pages via TAB broken (See link to bug)
