Google Chrome

[Joy]

Google's own browser will be launching today, it wouldn't be google if it wasn't screaming "innovation"

Anyways, for those interested, don't miss out on this "comic" explaining some of the new technology: http://www.google.com/googlebooks/chrome/

It's a bit technical sometimes, and long, so don't visit if you have the attention span of a drunk one-day fly (or are actually busy ).

Looks incredibly cool, can't wait to test it!

 

[Kirki]

Sounds great! At least most of it (cause i couldn't follow everything :shy: )
However, doesn't Google have it's own browser (Mozilla Firefox) already?
Is Chrome just the new technology that's gonna be applied on Firefox? Got a bit confused there.... :blush:

 

[Gombur]

Firefox from Mozilla isnt from Google

Ehm, have you even checked out the "proof of concept"? It requires you to execute a downloaded file, if you're dumb enough to do that, they can carpet bomb you for all I care <_<

PS. I'm sure there's gonna be exploits, think it's quite impossible to make something bugfree, but I'm not counting this one

 

[Anshrr]

running executables is stupid. if u do it, ur vulnerable in any browser :<

I do believe he was just saying that it didn't take long for the thing to appear....

 

[Joy]

And we're saying the thing is smoke and bubbles

Fanboooooooooooooooooi

I hear WoWAce is making a new browser, Joy

The point of the exploit (as far as I know) is that it saves a file to our desktop without permission. If the file is then executed (what's this on my desktop -- double click to find out, ooops) by the user, he gets exploited (and is dumb). I didn't try it though. If I go there in Firefox, I get asked for confirmation to download the file....

 

[Joy]

Yea I read that, but I don't get that either since the default download location is Documents/downloads or something (not entirely sure, since I changed it, but was definitely NOT My Desktop)

Oh wait..that's Vista only I guess ^_^

I'm not a fanboy, I'm an early adopter ><

 

[Braque]

but you get the file saved to your HD without confirmation, right? or not?
