It isn't an editor.. Its the inspector (Diagnostic tool, sort of)

The resources tab on the inspector is really cool. Tells you things like how fast javascript renders, and the size too.

For those of you that don't know how to get to it, right click on a page, and select, "Inspect Element."

If this was the very first release of the engine, it'd be an acceptable answer, but this stuff worked fine in earlier releases, so these are broken/regressions.

well, considering how much they have hacked the engine, I'd say it's kinda expected.

somehow it only works after a page load, not the first time, which I remember was one of Safari's pre-3.1 bugs, but got fixed in 3.1

I haven't tried the browser yet, since I am waiting till I get home to test it, but can you edit the javascript in real time too? Because I smell exploits all over the place here lol. But I guess what you can do with the Chrome real time, you could do with IE and firefox, just not in real time.

I don't know how exploiting your own computer would be... exploits. You are editing it on the client side, which won't affect anyone else.

What I find odd about Chrome is that it runs slower than Firefox on my P3 800. Yet, it runs faster than Firefox on my Athlon X2. Safari is the same way. I wonder if maybe the Gecko engine works better on older single-threaded CPU's, whereas Webkit runs better on multi-threaded systems.

Chrome is also slower with Flash animations.

Having said that, for a beta, this browser does pack a punch.

I am on an older single threaded computer (Athlon XP) and it seems slower than FF3.

Edit:

Flash performance makes it particularly unusable.

All your posts are belong to Google! :p

Yea, that's kind of a ridiculous thing to put in an EULA.

Although I don't really do any sort of awe-inspiring crazy creative posts in my web browser, it will be something I will keep in the back of my mind for when such an occasion may arise.

Pretty ridiculous though IMO. :no:

border-radius corners are un-anti-aliased (they are in the Cairo and CoreGraphics ports), text-shadow is non-existent (it's in the Cairo and CoreGraphics ports) and border-radius and box-shadow gives you black filled areas there the border is rounded (So instead of being transparent, it has a purely back square background)

The only thing I noticed was the lack of text-shadow on Neowin's tabs .

Chrome is great, tried it in a Virtual Machine. Can't run it in the main machine because it doesn't even start unfortunately.

That happened right after install, but I was able to start Chrome normally from the Start menu.

Blasphemy! The OS X UI's still there! :p

    • NirLauncher 1.30.24

      By Copernic · Posted

      NirLauncher 1.30.24 by Razvan Serea NirLauncher is a suite of more than 200 of NirSoft's excellent portable freeware Windows utilities, and provides an interface that makes it easy to find and launch the tools you need. Which works for us - because there's something here for everyone. Have you forgotten a password stored in your browser or email client, for instance? Recovery tools here may be able to find them for you. Maybe you'd like to check your hard drive health? A disk tool will display its S.M.A.R.T. data (if the drive supports this), so you can view read/ write errors, temperature and other useful details. Is your system unstable? The System Utilities section includes several tools that can help to explain why your PC might be crashing. And there are a host of other programs on offer in categories like "Network Monitoring", "Web Browser Tools", "Video/ Audio Related Utilities", "Outlook/ Office Utilities" and more. Please note, perhaps because a few of these tools can be used maliciously (the password revealers, say), some antivirus programs will flag them as threats. We've never had a problem with any NirSoft tool, though, and you can read more on this issue at the author's site. NirLauncher is an excellent set of free tools, and a must-have for everyone's portable troubleshooting toolkit. NirLauncher Features: NirLauncher can be used from USB flash drive without need of any installation. NirLauncher and all the utilities in the package are completely freeware, without any Spyware/Adware/Malware. This package doesn't contain any 3-party software, toolbars, Web browser plugins, or other unwanted surprises. It will not install any software on your system and it will not change your Web browser homepage or other settings on your system. NirLauncher package includes variety of tools that you may need for your daily computer use, including utilities to recover lost passwords, to monitor your network, to view and extract cookies, cache, and other information stored by your Web browser, to search files in your system, and more... For every utility in the package, you can easily run it, view the help file, or jump to the Web page of the utility. When using it from USB flash drive, the configuration of every utility is saved into .cfg file on the flash drive. On x64 systems, NirLauncher automatically run the x64 version of the utility, when there is a separated x64 version. NirLauncher also allows to add more software packages in additional to the main NirSoft package. NirLauncher allows you generate plugin files for BartPE (Launcher -> Generate BartPE Plugin Files), so you can easily use the utilities of NirSoft from a bootable live windows CD. Additional packages (Piriform, SysInternals...) and instructions are available on the Nirlauncher download page. Note: This zip file below is password-protected. The password for extracting the files is nirsoft9876$ Download: NirLauncher 1.30.24 | 39.8 MB (Freeware) Link: NirLauncher Home Page | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By MikeK13 · Posted

      What people who support this position of LibreOffice do not understand is that EuroOffice is not made to appease the open source enthusiasts (I am also one) and evangelists. EuroOffice was made because some European companies wanted independence from Microsoft Office Suite, which is something installable on your computer. This move to independence was pushed by public institutions and governments in Europe, as well. Using a proprietary FORMAT as default, does not make you dependent on MS. The actual program does. A format can be changed with a simple update in the future in a dystopian world where MS would manipulate the format to lock others out. However, using MS Office proprietary format, guarantees that all the current documents used by companies, organizations, institutions, etc, will be compatible with EuroOffice and the suite will have the best chances at adoption, especially by slow moving organizations like governments and the public sector. It is as simple as that. For the same reason, even the UI is incredibly similar to MS Office. For the same reason (adoption) the choice was made to be open source. Not because EU particularly loves open source ideologically, but because it gives the best starting point to create trust in the project and amass developers and contributions to the project quickly, to catch up with proprietary projects like MS Office. I don't understand how people don't realize it.
    • Microsoft hides these secret Windows 11 performance boost settings available on every PC

      By WaltC · Posted

      How old is this tip? Seems 15-20 years old? Processor states for the CPU under Windows power options has been a thing for a long, long time. It certainly isn't new or hidden... Also, with laptops it doesn't make any difference what OS you are running, all of them are configured for battery longevity over performance, for obvious reasons. Wanted to add as well that most systems in use currently do burst as setup in the uefi bios settings, and usually when a setting is "hidden" like this in Windows it's because it's either obsolete or it is redundant--doesn't override the bios and the CPU drivers. There is a lot of crap in the registry that needs to come out...;) It's hamless and might consume 1-2kb of space in total, though.
