- Jawbone54, on 03/30/2009, -16/+53Chrome already came out for Mac. It's called the Safari 4 beta.
- ZogDog, on 03/30/2009, -7/+39Man, ads are really that annoying to everyone huh? I've been using Chrome since inception and I gotta say, still my favorite browser on Windows.
- r00fus, on 03/30/2009, -1/+23Incorrect. Safari 4 does not have seperate processes per tab like Chrome or (gasp!) even IE8.
I love FF and Safari, but I really want tab independence so a stalled tab doesn't hold my other browser tabs hostage. - BigglesPiP, on 03/30/2009, -4/+23Linux please.
- amk29j, on 03/30/2009, -0/+18Why do so many people use OF instead of HAVE. It would'VE. It's a contraction. That's why it sounds like "would of," but it's would've.
- MiGs2, on 03/30/2009, -4/+21Really? Do you like having trash shoveled into your face that much? There are sites that deserve to have ad-block disabled, such as Hulu.
Its not about money, its about annoyance. Why would you willfully be bombarded with cheap looking flashing banners with a dancing lady that want to sell you car insurance? - saddino, on 03/30/2009, -3/+17If you want to try a one-process-per-tab browser for OS X, use Stainless while you wait for Chrome.

- InitialDMP5, on 03/30/2009, -0/+12I didn't realize Safari 4 handled tabs the same way Chrome does. I thought apple would have mentioned it on their webpage for safari.
- enantiodromia, on 03/30/2009, -1/+10it sounds like you guys don't like un-targetted ads. if the ads were 100% appropriate and 100% non-obnoxious, would that be ok?
- Raptor007, on 03/30/2009, -1/+10I understand the argument against ad-blocking, and I do disable it for my favorite sites. But once ads started becoming embedded Flash with sound, ad-block became a necessity.
- inigomntoya, on 03/30/2009, -2/+11You are very brave, my friend. Incredibly stupid. But brave.
- Bhima, on 03/30/2009, -0/+8Having read that article I think I'll wait a few months.
- Raptor007, on 03/30/2009, -1/+9Successful troll is successful.
- amk29j, on 03/30/2009, -3/+10And those incredibly offensive Facebook ads! Adblock is amazing. Deactivating your Facebook account is even more amazing.
- VipeNess, on 03/30/2009, -0/+7Safari 4 beta is nice, just awaiting full release on it til i upgreade because some of my messengers dont work well with beta currently but that will be all fixed in full release.
- enantiodromia, on 03/30/2009, -3/+9HOW DARE I BE INCONVENIENCED FOR 3 MILLISECONDS!
unless you are personally sending money to all your favorite web sites, you should at least let them serve you ads. - TVarmy, on 03/31/2009, -0/+6When you close a tab, it closes the process with it, and frees up the memory it used. In theory, it keeps the browser from hogging up memory, and is a particularly good way to keep memory leaks from becoming a huge problem. Also, if a tab has code that causes the browser to stall, only that tab stalls, while the other ones still work, so that you can close the bad tab while you can continue what you were doing in other tabs. However, multiple processes also have more overhead in terms of resource use and there is code to free up memory from a single process browser, so it's hard to tell which is better without benchmarks.
- seinman, on 03/30/2009, -0/+6I'm pretty sure that's why darkism said "when this goes gold," not "when this has a working beta." Your comment makes absolutely no sense.
- walgman, on 03/30/2009, -3/+9Will take a while to catch up with firefox simply beacuse of the ad-ons some of which I am dependent on.
- teabagginz, on 03/30/2009, -1/+7IE can go to hell
- zwaldowski, on 03/30/2009, -0/+6It's just a Windows build of Chromium compiled with Wine...
- h0tpot, on 03/30/2009, -0/+5Anything in Beta has issues. I am sure Google will not release a Beta of this caliber to the public; I would imagine by the time it gets to OS X users it will be in good working order.
- say592, on 03/31/2009, -0/+5Set up ad filtering on a DNS level and it doesnt really matter.
I went Chrome on my Windows machines when it first launched, and I havent looked back. - inigomntoya, on 03/30/2009, -1/+6I do...
:'( - larrimer7, on 03/31/2009, -0/+5I rather substance to flash.
- BenRT, on 03/30/2009, -10/+15Really? Do you hate ads that much? You're taking away revenue from the site owners, which they NEED, because you're using up their bandwidth. I'm sure if you ran a site you wouldn't want people running adblock on it and cheating you out of money.
Also I bet you're one of those people who torrents TV shows just to watch them without ads as well. I hate this crowd, they just want to take everything for free. It's childish. - t0ny, on 03/31/2009, -1/+6Have you ever tried to read an article when there is a stupid monkey bunching back and forth yelling punch the monkey and win an iPod?
- NicoNicoNico, on 03/31/2009, -0/+4Regular ads are fine (Gmail does it right), but the flashing ones are awful. I get distracted if I see something flashing.
- iericg, on 03/30/2009, -0/+4I was excited about Chrome coming to the Mac but now with Safari 4 Beta it's no longer a big deal for me.
- non00b, on 03/30/2009, -3/+7meanwhile the safari 4 beta runs very well even on my 1.5ghz G4 powerbook
- r00fus, on 03/30/2009, -2/+6Hotmail is the new AOL.
- t0ny, on 03/31/2009, -0/+4I use adblock and I only block ads that I find annoying which is pretty much any flash ad, gifs that use too much animation, or if it takes up most of the page. I use noscript now too and it helps a ton with stupid flash ads.
- kopiwrite, on 03/30/2009, -3/+7"I'm sure if you ran a site you wouldn't want people running adblock on it and cheating you out of money."
lololol @ cheating .... you can't be serious... - adamje42, on 03/30/2009, -1/+5Guy that makes Intel optimized FF betas is also planning on getting nightly OS X .dmg's of Chromium up since Google isn't releasing them at the moment. He hasn't gotten the nightly script up yet but build 12558 is available for download.
http://www.latko.org/downloads/ - larrimer7, on 03/31/2009, -0/+4I like gmail myself.
- t0ny, on 03/31/2009, -0/+4Yes, I don't block those ads.
- Atomic1fire, on 03/31/2009, -1/+5Seeds before crops,
right now it doesnt look like they are going to get anything done until the basic implementation is finished,
Then the features will likely be tested and added.
chrome for windows at least has a lot of work already done. - TVarmy, on 03/31/2009, -0/+3On a crappy connection, not loading ads makes pages load way faster, at least when they're either big images or flash ads.
- t0ny, on 03/31/2009, -0/+3Wow, when did Google take over Safari?
- TheBlueVulcan, on 03/30/2009, -1/+4Works perfectly for me.
- chesterjosiah, on 03/31/2009, -1/+4Ad-block is coming to Chrome eventually, just be patient.
And for those of you who are anti-Ad-block, get over it. People who use Ad-block would never click on your ads anyway so you're not losing any revenue. The only type of people who click on ads are old people and people who get tricked into thinking the ad was genuine content. Ad-block users are neither. - enantiodromia, on 03/30/2009, -0/+3is that all you have, amk29j?
- wwwluckyro, on 03/31/2009, -0/+3you and 98% of digg.
- svivian, on 03/31/2009, -0/+3You don't need a browser feature to block ads.
- XEusioN, on 03/30/2009, -1/+4Don't get too hung up on tab processes just yet. I use Chrome everyday and I prefer it over IE8 and FF3 so don't get me wrong, I'm not a Chrome hater...but I had a couple of pages today that froze the entire window, every, single, tab. And there wasn't a thing you could do to recover from it.
At least Chrome has the "recently closed tabs" list =/ - inactive, on 03/30/2009, -2/+4you douchebag
- gbowman2412, on 04/07/2009, -0/+2Forgot to reply - Hotmail - Not for me! (Missus - such a noob). I'm gmail all the way, have been for years!
- amk29j, on 03/30/2009, -1/+3...really?
