Negative Publicity

MetzM 6th Jun 2009

They probably want to avoid negative publicity.
I, like you, watched chromium-browser evolve
from a ticking time-bomb to a stable
environment. I now use it as my full-time
browser safely, and I accept that for Flash,
I'll have to switch to the similarly-light
Midori (DON'T install the Jaunty one: it's
horrendously unstable. Add the newest version
instead, it's perfectly stable) - but I think
the Average Joe that just wants his YouTube
won't like it when Google Chrome refuses to do
it - and that even when it's implemented in the
future, he'll remember that time it didn't work.

I do miss the daily updates, though. It was
pretty, watching Chromium evolve: Step by step,
it gained a basic GUI, then tabs and such.. It
stopped crashing on Javascript so often, and
slowly but surely developed into an almost fully
functional (Flash excepted) browser. About a
month ago, it stopped crashing on SSE
exceptions, and two weeks ago, it gained the
ability to limit crash-damage to just a single
tab.
