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.

I like the screen I get opening it. I am used to a Google homepage, but I also love Opera’s ability to have places you can save quick links with thumbnails. The best of both worlds!

Chrome Opening Screen

It also displays the site correctly. This is an important function for me! Developing websites, CSS, XHTML. etc.. they are things that I interact with daily. And, for it to display my site (or any site) the way it should be when they use standards - is what I need in a browser. I do not like IE with it’s ’specifics’ and its ability to display some sites slightly differently because of non-standard bugs. It tries to compensate for bad code and sometimes does not interpret good code correctly. (Other than that, I will not get started on my IE bashing. )

Chrome Aleeya dotNet

Well, its been over 2 years since this site has been updated. So.. what better time to start? Here is an image I will be keeping around a while. Seems all of my sites are getting updates lately, but that is another story. (Let’s just say it involves WordPress and some themes) More on that later, but here is an example using Chrome.
