Chrome + Android 2.2

[NoShftShck16]

CHROME FOR ANDROID - well technically the first step is going to be Chrome-to-Android extension for Android 2.2

Basically you are on a website and click a button and the same website is automatically opened on your phone (on google maps, it would be opened in that program)

Apparently they (Google) are also working on a Chrome Mobile Browser

There is a browser poll going on, if Chrome was on android I bet it would be the end all be all of mobile browsing.


On a different note, downloading Fennec (mobile FF for my DINC)

I've been wondering when Google was going to roll something like this out. It's a natural progression for them. Can't wait to see how it looks.

 

[NoShftShck16]

Yeah me either, I'm excited.


Tried Fennec (Firefox mobile)...highly suggest NOT downloading it. Took mad long to open then when super laggy afterwards, plus its a HUGE file.

Ah, the evolution of cloud computing makes one more step forward.

I'm not a huge fan of Chrome. Didn't seem any faster than Firefox and lacked a lot of the add-ons that I have for Firefox.

I'd be interested in Chrome Mobile though because this little extension thingy sounds pretty damn useful.

That's not cloud computing, that's sending a message to your phone lol. Come on guys, if you like to just throw around buzz words and believe hype, then go buy apple products, Dinc owners should be a little more realistic.

BTW, chrome browser sucks, and I sorta doubt it would work any better than stock browser.

When was the last time you used Chrome? Lots more add ons now then there were like 6 months ago. Also I usually test all browsers out, firefox/chrome/safari/Opera.. I never really notice differences in speed either...

On topic tho, I think Chrome mobile would be nice, who makes the stock browser now?

when using chrome i have an add on called QR-Code tag extension and it makes a code for the site you are on then i read it from my pc with the barcode scanner... that works for now

 

[NoShftShck16]

Same question for me, i run Ubuntu and FireFox is noticeably slower than Chrome on my laptop.

Plus I have the exact same extensions that I had on Firefox a year or so ago on Chrome plus a lot of ones Firefox doesnt

Chrome can sync favorites/extensions across multiple computers

EDIT: QR Code Extension rules, even for you FF users...definitely get it

Probably about 2-3 months ago. The biggest missing piece was FoxyTunes. I use that all the time and there was nothing like it on Chrome at the time. I could have lived without the other minor stuff but no FoxyTunes or FireNes was what made me go back to Firefox.

Alright, thats legit reasoning. I used to have to switch back to view youtube when they first made the switch to HTML5

Opera is way faster than any of the browsers for me. I don't like the look of Chrome and I have always been a Firefox person, but this new Opera is great.
