'Servo has another browser chrome!"
I like these competition jokes :)
- hencq 12y agoActually chrome always referred to the non-content parts of the UI. Or at least it already did back in the Mozilla Seamonkey days. Chrome the browser was named as such because it removed a lot of the chrome and focused mostly on the content.
- EugeneOZ 12y agoIt's obvious, but I still think it's not just boring word in this case.
- Manishearth 12y agoHeh. That wasn't intentionally a joke (I wrote that bit), but I can see how it sounds like one. "chrome" is a term for the stuff that's part of a browser but not the browser engine (the rest of the UI). I did realize that that term could be misinterpreted (damn you Google) and thoought of alternative ways of putting it, but I couldn't come up with anything. "GUI" and "shell" both sounded wrong. When I said "another" I was referring to MiniServo[1][2] and the CEF port.

- EugeneOZ 12y agoI don't think it's a thing you should replace. Remember these stories about Netscape and MS? Funny time :) I'm sure people from both sides feel nothing except smiles in their souls, remembering these "wars".
