I think you're retroactively spinning it, to fit what Chrome has become today. Let me just find the comics v1 rolled out with.
Ahem: "There are a lot of limitations to the kinds of applications that you can build today with web browsers. And the subset of things you can do is different for each browser. If one browser has a cool feature, that doesn't help -- it has to exist across all browsers in order for developers to use it." (Emphasis original)
But yeah, Google says they're not evil, so that makes anything they do non-evil...riiiiight. I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore.
- lmm 12y agoI'm not trying to be retroactive - I genuinely don't remember any comics - just the videos with the lasers and whatnot to show how fast it was.
- Piskvorrr 12y agoWell, it's still out there. The main selling points were: - it's safe - it's fast - it's stable - doesn't break the web All of that in contrast with IE of that time, which failed all four of the above. Currently it's trying to stay somewhat safe, and ditched the other three in the process. https://www.google.com/googlebooks/chrome/ https://www.google.com/googlebooks/chrome/
