This is supposed to keep the browser running in case a tab-failed. Although I didn't see any significant slow downs when running Chrome.<BR/><BR/>The future versions Epiphany will be built on Webkit. I was impressed with the performance when I tried it on Debian Lenny. I think it's a good call by the developers, as GNOME already comes pre-installed with Firefox.<BR/>(Or lets say, Firefox is a dependency)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29333207.post-76522608991819023422008-09-07T00:49:00.000+02:002008-09-07T00:49:00.000+02:00The features are really good.

I read something that this venture will wind up the concept of operating system itself, i dont know what does it actually mean.<BR/><BR/>being a chemical engineer with very limited knowledge of computers, i feel that chrome is cool with very user friendly features but it is slower than mozilla firefox in loading heavy web pages.Rayees Ahamedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11973577633340783572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29333207.post-53154479982999351192008-09-07T00:34:00.000+02:002008-09-07T00:34:00.000+02:00Too bad the Mac and Linux crowd have been left out...Too bad the Mac and Linux crowd have been left out, for the moment. I'd have liked to try out Chrome, but sadly I need to reboot all the darn way into Windows to test it. Too much of a price to pay by me. The most significant development from a Linux user's perspective is Chrome's engine being Webkit. We have a gigaton of gecko browsers and only a handful of yet experimental webkit ones. There are rumblings of Konqueror using qt-webkit sometime in the future, but Chrome is the most significant webkit browser that will come to Linux IMO.<BR/><BR/>@Jaffer<BR/>just wondering, did you run a compiled version of Chrome on Linux or did you try a binary on Windows? given Mozilla's love for gecko, I find it hard to believe that it'll be tying up with Chrome in the near future. BTW, I loved the Lifehacker story you shared on Twitter.
