Yeah, I wasn't sure whether to link that instead. The comic is delightful, but not too discoverable. Anyone remember what it was like to open Chrome for the first time in '08 or so? It was incredible. The design was the embodiment of fresh, wide-eyed optimism.

  It was pretty amazing. That was the day I finally ditched IE for good.

    Yeah, it also felt blazingly fast. Chrome is still fast now, but sites and web apps have added so much bloat that they cancel each other out. Back then, on the other hand, Chrome was lightning compared to the standard experience with any other browser.

      May be the browser should institute a 'lite' mode which kills js execution after some 60ms. If the content doesn't show up by then, an error is shown (rather than a broken page).

        Then user could just disable Javascript.
