If user X uses Chrome. If not, there's extra 1GB+ bloat for one "browser app". No thanks.

- tracker1 11y agoSo, you don't use any browser apps? That must be pretty hard to do. I think going without a browser+javascript would be pretty primative... I mean, I pay my bills, send emails, hell view the site I'm on as browser applications. I remember being online in 1993 (vga, bbsing, dialup ftw), it wasn't nearly as diverse or capable as today.
- Tiksi 11y ago> So, you don't use any browser apps? That's not at all what they said. Some of us use browsers that are not chrome. That would mean having to run 2 browser runtimes to get a thin wrapper with chrome.
- tracker1 11y agoI believe Firefox has, or used to have the ability to launch a standalone browser without extra chrome for a specific site (maybe not via the UI)... IIRC IE on Windows 7+ offers the same functionality. If you're using Opera or Safari, I have no idea.
