CarMad Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 It does indeed seem to be very fast on Tyresmoke. Will give it a go but it all looks a bit basic at the moment, does it do RSS feeds etc. ..... goes off to look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarMad Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 :mad: No RSS feeds, so not good for me its the bit I like most about Firefox. Will see what its like as it develops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustynuts Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 Tyresmoke wouldn't exist without them... :mad: Tyresmoke probably would exist whether or not I see the adverts. That's the reason I don't want to use anything other than Firefox. I don't have a problem with people paying for advertising, but I do have a choice as to whether I allow them to ram it in my face.

Ritey Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 Well quick initial impression, stupidly fast Doesn't seem to have any issues with SSL certificates and displays all the sites I've coded as expected without issue, which is nice. Seemed to have a mare on sites with flash, without the plugin installed but that was a quick install and cured the problem straight away, back to being very fast again. Haven't noticed any javascript issues but then it's using the Apple webkit which is pretty well tested in Safari, so no real surprises there. As has been mentioned, it's not feature rich at the moment, and no doubt if it does bloat a bit then it will slow down as they all tend to do, but for a beta I'm very impressed. Look forward to following it's development Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustynuts Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 There's also the issue of Google storing your information, something else which doesn't please me a whole lot aswell... "The auto-suggest feature of Google's new Chrome browser does more than just help users get where they are going. It will also give Google a wealth of information on what people are doing on the Internet besides searching. Provided that users leave Chrome's auto-suggest feature on and have Google as their default search provider, Google will have access to any keystrokes that are typed into the browser's Omnibox, even before a user hits enter. What's more, Google has every intention of retaining some of that data even after it provides the promised suggestions. A Google representative told CNET News that the company plans to store about 2 percent of that data--and plans to store it along with the Internet Protocol address of the computer that typed it. In theory, that means that if one were to type the address of a site--even if they decide not to hit enter--they could leave incriminating evidence on Google's servers." Full details here.

CarMad Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 I think they still have a way to go with to say the least and it seems they might have issues in convincing people that they aren't stretching the privacy issue again....
