What is Digg?179 Comments
- diggproof, on 09/06/2008, -11/+146If Chrome wasn't made by Google people would just laugh at it and say it's no Firefox.
- inactive, on 09/06/2008, -18/+151What... Firefox is only on version 3? Microsoft's Internet Explorer is on version 7. Do the math: 7-3=4. IE is 4 times faster than Firefox. What a crap browser. If Firefox was so great, how come it's never pre-installed on any new machine?
- inactive, on 09/06/2008, -14/+143But but but CHHHRROOme. Man ***** that, I love my firefox.
- Owwmykneecap, on 09/06/2008, -14/+120Chrome = no addons. fail.
- Ki77erB, on 09/06/2008, -4/+93Dude, you forgot the "/sarcasm". Without it everyone will take you 100% serious!
- sliksta, on 09/06/2008, -5/+80Integrated video without flash sounds great. Have always hated adobe and their bug-ridden software.
- inactive, on 09/05/2008, -20/+85hmmm ok. now bring in the multitab-multiprocess-host model from Google Chrome, speedup gecko to webkit standards, and integrate Weave into the browser already and you have a winner!1! (or perhaps ff4?)
- limeyTart, on 09/06/2008, -5/+62Do a lot of work in FF3 - I already consider it a winner, Chrome is impressive - but no good for my Ubuntu machine.
- bhowell, on 09/06/2008, -2/+34Extensions are among Firefox's biggest *strengths*! It's neither feasible nor desirable to have all of the functionality that extensions provide integrated into the core Firefox. They allow people to enhance the browser to their specific needs.
- linkerm, on 09/06/2008, -2/+29Anything that makes the javascript run faster (not to mention hanging up loads) would be very welcome.
- blitz718, on 09/06/2008, -2/+28Honestly, sarcasm that obvious doesnt need a tag, and when people don't realize you get to make fun of them.
- chewy5000, on 09/06/2008, -2/+27Knowing Google it will be in beta forever
*cough*gmail*cough* - bhowell, on 09/06/2008, -3/+28There's a reason for that. Google has a reputation for making quality software, and so far Chrome seems to fit that reputation. It's still not to the point where I'd use it over Firefox, but it does look promising.
- Owwmykneecap, on 09/06/2008, -2/+25What DO ads look like again? I forgoted.
Do they still do "You are the 1,000,000th visitor"? - inactive, on 09/06/2008, -3/+24No thanks. I'm holding out for Firefox 3.1 alpha 2.1 beta.
- dunmasterkane, on 09/06/2008, -5/+25I'm using Chrome right now, because it was seemingly faster. I'm thinking about switching back to Firefox now...
- diggproof, on 09/06/2008, -2/+21How the hell is it still behind Chrome? You must be joking. Chrome crashes on random websites.
- limeyTart, on 09/06/2008, -2/+21@kodek
Just wondering what the issue was with that response from @massaks that you feel deserved that kind of response? - SummerNight, on 09/06/2008, -1/+19Just being devil's advocate here... it's possible that massaks edited his post after kodek posted his, and kodek didn't notice.
- whodaimen, on 09/06/2008, -5/+22I find chrome "U-G-L-Y", and Firefox beautiful.
- getoffmybridge, on 05/05/2009, -4/+21@ kodek:

I think some editing was done so we will never know the truth. - bsmedberg, on 09/06/2008, -1/+16No. TraceMonkey was landed immediately after alpha-2 branched, so that we could stabilize and test it before beta 1.
- watcht, on 09/06/2008, -0/+13Mozilla isn't quality? Cmon, so Google releases a beta browser and now many people turn on Mozilla, ah can't even argue no more eh w/e i still loves you Mozilla and your helpful community.
- Derrekito, on 09/06/2008, -1/+14I agree with bhowell. There is not one stock browser out there that meets the needs of all the users. Allowing the room for these nuances in the application is not a weakness, but a STRENGTH!
- roxgod666, on 09/06/2008, -0/+12i used it for a day until i released how glitchy it is. RESORT BACK TO FIREFOX!!!!!!!!
- hiimcliff, on 09/06/2008, -0/+12adobe flash plugin is the culprit for resource hogging in all browsers.
- Zounas, on 09/06/2008, -1/+13I've waited for those CSS supports, mainly :nth-* selectors and text-shadows. Makes this a bit easier and prettier.
- mdew, on 09/06/2008, -5/+16To enable tracemonkey javascript improvements (NOTE: it is still beta, and can cause some crashes),
about:config
enable javascript.options.jit.content - thecheatah, on 09/06/2008, -0/+11I hope youtube allows us to use this functionality. With them, everyone else will soon follow!
- Derrekito, on 09/06/2008, -3/+14I love Chrome. It's slick looking, it's fast, it runs Javascript better, and renders things nicer (The latter is my opinion as far as I know). But I NEED addons.
- n0odles, on 09/06/2008, -1/+11Install the Tracemonkey nightly build of Firefox 3.1, it beats Chrome's V8. Webkit wasn't what made Chrome fast. It was the isolated tab processing and JavaScript engine, but that failed to actually isolate tabs from the recent overflow vulnerability in Chrome.
- Diggtatorship, on 09/06/2008, -0/+9FF3 does have a new, bleeding-fast, javascript engine. It's equal in performance with the V8 engine that chrome uses.
- chazza125, on 09/06/2008, -3/+12Frankly it annoys me when people always scream "Buried" or something as if we asked for their almighty opinion.
- PikeUK, on 09/06/2008, -0/+9See: http://dotnetperls.com/Content/Browser-Memory.aspx
If you're still seeing leaks the best thing you can do is figure out why. Run the browser in safe-mode (http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode ), does it still happen?
If no then you have a leaking add-on, enable them one at a time until you discover which one.
If yes then you're probably hitting a site that triggers an unknown leak, keep an eye on your memory usage as you browse (perhaps using something like https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/327 ... ) and try to figure out which site causes the leak, once you've discovered it report it to bugzilla.mozilla.org and the devs can fix it. - MadHarvey, on 09/06/2008, -2/+11Massaks has been trolling the Linux stories on Digg for awhile now...
- mvent2, on 09/06/2008, -1/+9And they did.
- stretch611, on 09/06/2008, -0/+8FTA: "it enables web developers to more seamlessly intersperse video with other web content, manipulate video playback with JavaScript, and access video elements directly through the document object model (DOM)."
As a web developer, all I can say is COOL!!! - piesforyou, on 09/06/2008, -0/+7We cant stay in the past just because some people dont upgrade. When those people start to encounter more and more websites that look odd on their browsers, they will be forced to upgrade and thus we move along to a nice, curvier, shadowey, gradienty internet.
- JohnFour, on 09/06/2008, -0/+7I don't think that an Ad company will have a browser that blocks ads.
- Owwmykneecap, on 09/06/2008, -2/+9like google would EVER allow an adblocker.
30% of EU web traffic is Firefox.
I'm willing to be 70% of FF users use adblock plus.
Do you get where I'm going with this? - diggproof, on 09/06/2008, -1/+8Chrome looks like IE 7 and it doesn't even have a Google Suggest built in and it's made by Google. Go figure.
- thecheatah, on 09/06/2008, -0/+7flash 10 also fixes world hunger.
ooh and the ability to write over it with html elements in linux. - DaDiggydiggyDOC, on 09/06/2008, -2/+9Gotta love competition! In the end we all get what we want a kick ass browser, something MS is still working on...
- magic6435, on 09/06/2008, -7/+14well it sure would be nice to use Chrome if it was available on anything other than ya know .. windows. what a joke.
- darkshadowfor, on 09/06/2008, -1/+7You forgot the "/sarcasm" there.
- KingGorilla, on 09/06/2008, -0/+6cutest mascot wins!
- doublej42, on 09/06/2008, -3/+9firefox is a spin off of the old netscape core, so I guess firefox is kind of at version ... 14 I think (who really cared about mozilla after version 4)
- DanAtkinson, on 09/06/2008, -0/+6I don't think that bundling Weave into Firefox as default is such a good thing. I'm a strong believer in the ability to extend Firefox with it's vast array of addons. If you start including addons such as these without any say so from the user, then you prevent developers from doing cool new things, which would in turn stifle creativity, and then you'd end up with a downturn in Firefox's fortunes.
