- unrealmp3, on 11/11/2008, -6/+52With Firefox including the TraceMonkey JavaScript engine soon, I don't see any reason to keep Chrome, as it will be faster anyway.
- DirtyDiggDog, on 11/12/2008, -8/+32Dropping Firefox makes perfect sense to me. Chrome is their baby.
- AZRoboto, on 11/12/2008, -3/+24Pardon, but what is StarOffice?
- NerveBand, on 11/12/2008, -1/+18Who seriously considers Google Docs an actual Office suite? I don't get local use. I can't use it offline. It doesn't have footnote support. I can't instantly search up a dictionary or look up translations or get theasarus words.
And the comparison of Google Docs to Microsoft Office is unwarranted. Apples to Oranges here. - FatLoser, on 11/12/2008, -1/+15...and that's okay. *pats kangy on the back*
- ElBeh, on 11/12/2008, -6/+18Eeew, Norton is there.
- samthurston, on 11/12/2008, -0/+11that's why the addon model is perfect. none for you, a few for some other guy, lots for me.
- angel0, on 11/12/2008, -1/+12backstabbing time
- gungaroo22, on 11/12/2008, -1/+11Affect. With an A.
- NateTheApe21, on 11/12/2008, -4/+13Google pack, i repeat GOOGLE pack,
- theOster, on 11/12/2008, -2/+11assuming you mean "who the hell installs the google pack?"
- inactive, on 11/12/2008, -1/+10Good deduction.
- damentz, on 11/12/2008, -3/+11What was the incentive to bundle Star Office in the first place? Open Office already has much more going for it, especially the version 3.0 that came out a bit ago.
- mmilton, on 11/12/2008, -0/+8I wish that Chrome's control+- worked the same way as Firefox. Firefox expands the entire web page, images included. Chrome just expands the text which distorts things.
- daviddiaz, on 11/12/2008, -3/+11I loved chrome until I saw that I had ads in the sites I was browsing. Aside from that, I honestly couldn't find anything I didn't like about chrome. However, no adblock is a big deal breaker for me, so until Google allows us to install Adblock, I'm sticking to firefox.
- a1cd, on 11/12/2008, -4/+11Big difference between StarOffice and Firefox,
- motang, on 11/11/2008, -2/+9Doesn't effect me much as OpenOffice 3.0 is very good and I prefer that, and besides I update those program on Windows XP whenever I turn that one, as mostly I run Ubuntu.
- kangy3213, on 11/12/2008, -1/+7I like staroffice
- mmilton, on 11/12/2008, -0/+6Chrome needs a way to export bookmarks especially if you are planning to get a new computer and don't want to key them in again.
- FearlessFreep, on 11/12/2008, -1/+7OK

I don't get it - Atomic1fire, on 11/12/2008, -2/+8Its basically the paid for version of open office, the open source competitor to Microsoft office, open source meaning anyone can modify or distribute it, unlike Microsoft office, where every copy has to be covered under a paid for license, and star office is optional because anyone can use open office, but star office has a few more programs, though openoffice has the core slideshow/spreedsheet/word processsor programs so its still decent.
- mmilton, on 11/12/2008, -1/+5Agreed. Google will have a viable and even killer app when Docs can run offline too.
- reddevild, on 11/12/2008, -0/+4dugg down for basically spamming this in every story that hits the front page
- mrsteveman1, on 11/12/2008, -1/+5The one that Chrome users never see but vaguely remember as being responsible for their upbringing or something? Yea, sure.
- bjornski, on 11/12/2008, -1/+4Get 3.1 and enable it.
It's awesome. - benologist, on 11/12/2008, -0/+3I checked in Opera and then in IE7.... and it looked normal.
- jamesdew, on 11/12/2008, -0/+3well we will see when it comes out, if this fancy new firefox engine is indeed faster than the chrome one I will happily switch back to firefox.
- familynight, on 11/12/2008, -0/+3Chrome also needs a print preview feature, unless I'm a complete idiot which is entirely possible.
- KnightMareInc, on 11/12/2008, -0/+3I really doubt they would
- RyanJones, on 11/12/2008, -0/+3It already is, faster, the one test it isn't yet faster on is the one Google created and the reason is simple: TraceMonkey doesn't support tracing over recursion yet.
- ElBeh, on 11/12/2008, -1/+4Just use the first beta or the nightlies. It's plenty stable and can allow you to use Tracemonkey with a few tweaks.
- netneutrality, on 11/12/2008, -0/+3I found the stylesheet rule ("autoscroll override for Firefox"): http://sitepointstatic.com/bundle/standard.css,str ...
This is the semi-transparent graphic. http://sitepointstatic.com/images/icons/autoscroll ...
I knew I wasn't crazy :) - jamesdew, on 11/12/2008, -0/+3oohh yeeee, luckily I still have perfect eyesight so this is not a problem for me
- iofthestorm, on 11/12/2008, -2/+5Umm, you can run Docs offline with Google Gears, which is built into Chrome and can be an extension for Firefox. I haven't actually tried it yet though.
- gungaroo22, on 11/12/2008, -0/+3Affect. With an A.
- jamesdew, on 11/12/2008, -0/+2I still don't get OpenOffice.... it looks just like StarOffice and it even states it basically is StarOffice so why not just use StarOffice.
- randumbusername, on 11/12/2008, -0/+2simon?
- bobbknight, on 11/12/2008, -0/+2huh!
- jtmax24, on 11/12/2008, -0/+2I still don't get StarOffice.... it looks just like OpenOffice and it even states it basically is OpenOffice so why not just use OpenOffice.
- toejamz, on 11/12/2008, -1/+3Chrome is a non-starter. No Linux support, no Chrome for me. I've tried it on Windows, and it was different, but nothing to get orgasmic about.
// Firefox for me // - winry, on 11/12/2008, -0/+2also, staroffice opened their source code back in 2000, openoffice started from that and now staroffice is based in openoffice, a lot like mozilla suit/firefox - netscape
- JoshuaGross, on 11/12/2008, -1/+3If they want to push Chrome, then yes.
- nmanguy, on 11/12/2008, -0/+2I seriously doubt it. They make ***** from having every firefox user having a google search box and google/firefox homepage be the default Firefox setup.
- ArthurSucks, on 11/12/2008, -0/+2I think it might have to do with the fact that anyone who is savy enough to install the google pack is probably already running Firefox and Chrome.
- mlwarrior, on 11/12/2008, -0/+2Wow, here come the ass-kissers who work for google to bury my comment. I love google, but you money-suckers...
- vpshockwave, on 11/12/2008, -2/+4Looks normal to me in firefox.
- TomPhoolery, on 11/12/2008, -0/+1I don't know, I think Google Docs or Google Calendar would be great if you could use them out-of-browser as well as in a browser. It would definitely be good for all us college students without a printer :D
- bjornski, on 11/13/2008, -0/+1Wish I was you, without my glasses, I"m blind as a bat now, I'm starting to use the large type much more often.
- drakihsu, on 11/12/2008, -1/+2hmm...
