What is Digg?276 Comments
- ThinkBox, on 09/03/2008, -6/+338This is why it will be "BETA" til 2018.
Google Book Search came out in 2004 and it still says BETA.
GMAIL is still BETA for crying out loud... - BodomChild16, on 09/03/2008, -24/+231That was fast.
Now where did i put my Firefox icon? - roostersheep, on 01/16/2009, -8/+116I don't really consider that serious. Perhaps for a novice computer user, but it's nothing to stop me using it. Let me know when they can get an application running without me opening it, then I'll be worried.
Though on the other hand, they should really get it fixed. I know a lot of people (e.g. my entire family) who would open the file. - chocobomog, on 09/03/2008, -9/+114I'm more worried about Firefox's password security. I installed Chrome and it copied all of my saved passwords from Firefox straight to Chrome instantly. If it was that easy to copy saved passwords in Firefox, what prevents malware from doing the same?
All the more reason not to save passwords in a browser. - Rudegar, on 09/03/2008, -1/+67i write them all down in the inside of my tinfoil hat
- lordzelo, on 09/03/2008, -1/+59My thoughts exactly.
- MikeonTV, on 09/03/2008, -13/+66Microsoft loyalist finally have something for that blog post "1 reason not to use Google Chrome"
- roostersheep, on 01/16/2009, -1/+48Apologies. I was out of line there.
- inactive, on 09/03/2008, -5/+46Test Chrome, update Chrome,... I'll join you in several years!
- serif69, on 09/03/2008, -1/+41Whoa buddy, now you're starting to get crazy.
- failedpimp, on 09/03/2008, -8/+47For some reason I feel like Google will become skynet.
- gasoline, on 09/03/2008, -2/+38I have no first impressions. I'm on a Mac, too, you know. Just came from a coffee shop, did some polishing on the screenplay I'm writing in my spare time.
- HillerMylife, on 09/03/2008, -2/+33Beta has lost its original meaning, now all it means is "we're allowed to ***** up."
- Mard, on 09/03/2008, -1/+31Set a master password.
- gfxlonghorn, on 09/03/2008, -10/+37It is a ***** Beta for Darwin sake!
- webkami, on 09/03/2008, -2/+29After reading the article.
Google is using old WebKit with a serious security flaw
/fixed - cocokr1sp, on 09/03/2008, -0/+26what's your email address I'll do it...
- HueytheFreeman, on 09/03/2008, -1/+25Anyways, Digg blocks out your SSN. Mine is ***-**-****.
- rnawky, on 09/03/2008, -6/+29It's not even a real problem. The "security flaw" is tricking people to launch a file they downloaded.
This is like saying Digg has security flaws because I can type this.
EVERYONE EMAIL ME YOUR SSN AND PERSONAL INFORMATION RIGHT AWAY!
If you're that dumb to do it...... - jarjarwang, on 09/03/2008, -3/+25Mac guy in the house! I was just at a coffee shop working on a screenplay too! Plus I used the built in webcam to take a crazy sepia-toned symmetry pic of my face.
- robbob, on 09/03/2008, -3/+25Google and myself cannot commit to anything
- jaxter2010, on 06/17/2009, -0/+19Thats pretty cool freeman. Good move by digg.

All you guys see is ***-**-****? - hashfail, on 09/04/2008, -0/+19Oh, no. I'm not falling for that one again.
- MtheoryX, on 09/03/2008, -3/+21You don't say?
- guardsman85, on 09/03/2008, -0/+17Yeah...I really hated IE seven eighths... =)
Viva la Firefox! - colonelxc, on 09/03/2008, -0/+16@zook: what? you saw him suggest an alternative browser?
- lovestospooge, on 09/03/2008, -1/+17Isn't this the same WebKit exploit that was used in the hacking competition to hack open the Air?
- colonelxc, on 09/03/2008, -1/+17By default, firefox does not encrypt your sensitive information (like passwords), it's just obfuscated. In firefox 3, you can go to preferences->security and check "use master password" which _should_ encrypt your passwords (and also requires you to type a master password the first time you go to a page that firefox has a saved password for)
- borez, on 09/03/2008, -5/+20Zzzzzz
- douglasr007, on 09/04/2008, -0/+15hunter2....wait
- th3heretic, on 09/03/2008, -0/+14PSH I have life lock!
- inactive, on 09/03/2008, -7/+21I knew something like this would come out sooner or later. However, I am pretty impressed with Chrome so far and since its advanced development by Google is imminent, this could become a browser of choice in the next 2-3 years.
- Nibble, on 09/03/2008, -3/+17Will you retards stop spamming this all over every Chrome thread? Aside from not being news, Google has already stated that it was unintentional and they're planning to remove it from the EULA: http://news.cnet.com/8301-17939_109-10031703-2.htm ...
- bstew22, on 09/03/2008, -2/+16blah blah blah COFFEE!!!???? wooooooooooooooooooooooooot! *click*
- missingnoh4x, on 09/03/2008, -2/+14That's because Flash Player is incredibly slow, not Chrome. Google should get some coders working on Gnash, maybe we can get something that'll kick Adobe's coding to the curb.
- cruzlee, on 09/03/2008, -2/+14The bastards released a faulty beta.
- roostersheep, on 01/16/2009, -0/+12You have a fair point. I think i trailed off into my own thoughts as I was writing that. What I was trying to get at is.. this isn't a problem for us. When I first read the title I thought I might stumble on a malicious web page and it would get through entirely by itself, but that's not the case.
- inactive, on 09/03/2008, -1/+13I wonder if Google will make a comic strip about this.
- megamod, on 09/03/2008, -4/+15Versus 1 million to not use IE7/8? =)
- Giga, on 09/03/2008, -0/+11I've yet to see a bug free beta. Heck, I've yet to see a bug free final release.
- crgnetworks, on 09/03/2008, -3/+14Mac User here.. I just was at a coffee shop masturbating om my Macbook Air!
- Glassius, on 09/03/2008, -0/+11Without requiring you to enter a password, like the master password mentioned in the other replies, how did you think Firefox was going to be able to encrypt and decrypt it in a way that anyone else wouldn't? As long as Firefox is able to read it without you entering a password, everyone else are going to be able to too. This goes for every program that stores anything without requiring you to enter a password to read it again.
The only thing they can do is obfuscate it, i.e. make it hard but not impossible to read, but since Firefox is open source, that isn't going to help much. - Tochi, on 09/03/2008, -1/+11You're supposed to be using your "Incognito Window" for that.
- rilarios, on 09/03/2008, -1/+10it´s not possible, because chrome uses Webkit and firefox uses Gecko.... the engine with this vulnerability is webkit not Gecko
- acrodev, on 09/03/2008, -3/+12try lynx.
- nybble41, on 09/03/2008, -0/+9The problem is that an *old* version of WebKit with a known security flaw was used as the basis for Chrome. That's an issue with Chrome, not WebKit.
- loneBoat, on 09/03/2008, -0/+8Click below and I'll tell you what you need to do

Click for help! - missingnoh4x, on 09/03/2008, -7/+15So this is the same security flaw that was in the Windows port of Safari. Really the problem here is WebKit, not Chrome.
- robbob, on 09/03/2008, -3/+10I'm happy with Firefox3, so I don't care to rush to try Chrome
