I don’t want to have to test my web apps against another browser, please…

I guess you are talking about the Fontself logo that shows up in the lower right corner?
I don’t know exactly what are their plans but I can ask the Fontself team :)Excellent work, great plugin, just one thing. Your logo pops up in the post, I think that’s kind of intrusive. Do I need to buy something to get rid of it?

31/03/2010 11:09Good point. So I’m not too worried about Facebook, but the guys who can work out what to do with masses of data are the ones who send you those nasty little Paypal/we need your bank details messages, so I guess I won’t be putting my bank account number on Facebook yet.
Hi,
Je me demande si ce n’est pas mémoire vive qui n’est pas très honnête.
Ils m’ont déjà sorti des devis de plusieurs milliers de francs (attention il faut que le prix soit plus haut que le prix d’une machine neuve…), pour des choses que d’autres personnes ont réparé pour quelques centaines de francs.
Après vérification, je n’ai même pas l’impression que la machine à été ouverte par mémoire vive. (Cela fait cher le devis…). C’est tellement plus simple de se faire 100.- en 5 minutes :-(

Yeah… that’s a good point, another browser, more work for web developers…
Typical lazy developer.
Well, if you think I am lazy you should be talking with my project manager, the test team and the support team…
It will apparently be more developer friendly. I think google will pull through and make it stick to the standards, it would improve things if some IE users switched to it
I was thinking the exact same thing – “Oh, no. Not another browser to test against!”. But apparently, Google Chrome is based on Webkit, so in theory, what works in Safari should work in Chrome! I guess we’ll have to see…
@Luke, you’re right, it’s based on WebKit, like Safari.
However I doubt they will be based on the exact same version, especially if Google makes contributions to WebKit and anyway the JavaScript engines will not be the same…
Do you really think that Google would go through all the trouble of launching a browser (if it is indeed real) and not include standards support at the very minimum? Also, can you not write sites that support multiple browser? Geeze whats this world coming to….
@D, yes I do actually develop sites that support multiple browsers. That’s actually the point.
To do that I need to test on all those browsers and they all “include standards support at the very minimum”, they just sometime interpret the standard their very own way.
What do you think will be Google’s interpretation of the standards?
Also I further need to take support calls from people that are using all those browsers. Meaning different interfaces, different preference settings, different add-ons, different headaches…
