It seems like a significant shift for Google to be releasing major search features as Chrome exclusives. I think they did this before with the personal blacklist feature which was eventually put into the web UI. (Can anyone fact check that for me? I never used that feature.) Should be interesting to see if this is the start of a trend. I know I'll probably switch to Chrome eventually if that becomes the only way to get the full Google experience.
- bdonlan 15y agoThis isn't a search feature; it's a browser feature. There's no real way for them to implement this in a cross-browser way; they could load a hidden iframe for the first result, but it looks like they're actually rendering it in the background, not just pre-caching it, so it wouldn't have as much of an effect. Other browsers could probably implement this just as well, eventually.
