i know! what self-respecting tech company would release a browser that doesn't run Flash??
Randy said 9:26AM on 4-07-2009
I know a number of people who would consider lack of a Flashplugin a plus in Chromes favor.

@jigme: Google didn't release this browser. This is still Alpha stuff. The post even says that Google didn't get this working themselves.

Looks like they have no id whats they are doing. Tested it. Could have been a first project of a college student.

Mike Pinkerton, the lead behind Camino, who is now working on Chrome at Google has been posting random updates about their progress. You can read about them here ( http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/pinkerton/ ) and on his Twitter, here ( http://twitter.com/mikepinkerton ). Specifically, read here ( http://twitter.com/mikepinkerton/status/1390157251 ).
If you follow his Twitter, he's actually posted blips and blurbs quite regularly.
I guess my point to mentioning all this is the assumption you guys are making that they aren't working on it. They are, just be patient.

Does this require the "Google Updater" program that runs on your Mac in the background (even when you're not running the app)? If so, I won't ever be installing this, even if it's the best browser out there.

@Andre, this doesn't require GU because this isn't an official Google release, it's just someone who compiled Chromium and made the executable available (the article should make this clearer IMHO)

Did anyone actually commenting on this article actually read it? It has no flash because it's in development, not released, and as Google have not released the browser, comments on whether they are self respecting or not regarding it's release are moot. And Chrome is the most innovative browser out there at the moment, if you have no idea of the underlying technology that powers it, why make flippant comments comparing it to first year college projects?
Shame on people for commenting on matters they obviously have no idea about!

ok, dude: relax - joke! (at Apple's expense, not Chrome's, as it goes...)

Remind me again how long it took them to get Chrome finished on Windows? Do they just have the one Camino guy working on the Mac version in the darkest corner of their offices, or what?

THIS IS NOT CHROME.
This is Chromium. The release is unofficial and unsupported.
Please fix the article before further confusion abounds.
