Chrome 5 won't support AeroPeek...

[iamwhoiam]

AeroPeek does offer great functionality. I am surprised nobody here sees it..

I give up...I don't want to continue arguing with Google fanboys. It is pointless

You make some wild assumptions. I don't use chrome. If I did, I'd rather the developer work on more important features than eye candy.

Then it is time to lock the thread.

I don't like being insulted by people who don't even know me. This is getting ridiculous.

I didn't insult you, but you however couldn't refrain from throwing insults at me.

Isn't Chromium open source product? So, if you want all those fancy feature for Windows, you can help implementing them. Otherwise not all people are paid for working on Chromium/Chrome.

AeroPeek can be globally disabled. I linked to the instructions earlier in this thread. I have a feeling we'll all be bored of it in a few months as I don't see how it increases efficiency. When XP first came out it had all sorts of extra eye-candy enabled and it only took me a few months before I came to the conclusion that almost all of them can be disabled.

AeroPeek is great for Windows Explorer, MSN, Word, etc.. But When you have dozen's of tabs open in IE/Chrome/Whatever it's just annoying.

Aero Peek is a killer feature. Chrome will become unusable on Windows 7 when they remove it.

So you are saying that Google has no influence on the project? Do you really believe that Google isnt paying developers to write Chrome? Sure there are people developing for Chrome on a voluntary basis, but the majority is getting paid (directly or indirectly) by Google.

Chrome is a great browser and not having Aero Peek won't change that. Having said that, I won't be using it as my default browser till this feature gets properly implemented.

Overall, there is a lot of drama in this thread for a minor eye-candy feature. If this is an essential item for some of you then just use another browser.

That doesn't prevent each tab from being shown as a window.

I thought the idea of tabs in the first place was to prevent them from showing as separate windows. And we're back to SDI-ish MDI.

So stop pretending Chrome doesn't "support" or "fully support" Windows 7. It supports Windows 7, and it supports Aero Peek. Windows 7 does not dictate how a browser should use the AeroPeek feature; the only one dictating arbitrary rules here is you.

Dude, the Chrome developer said it himself. He needs to rewrite lots of code to support it. This means that he did indeed say that they don't support it correctly, and that this won't happen until Chrome 6.

The problem is the guy who attacked the developer and twisted his words, only to later complain that people who called him out on it were attacking him...

Yeah, I agree. I would like to see more options to customize how it appears. I fear that those tabs are displayed because neophytes would start to think that the screen they were working on was lost (when really it just wasn't the focused tab). Most normal people barely have a grip on how tabs work and I often see non-technical people with the same content in 8 different tabs because they don't know how to find it again once a new window was opened by a link they clicked on. I mean, you click a tab, how difficult is that? Apparently, for most regular users, it is.

I didn't twist anyone's words. I just stated the facts. It seems to me that you probably cannot comprehend that. Maybe I should've been more clear in my statement before.

And yes, not delivering this feature is totally inacceptable. I found the developers answer unprofessional and I said it..

So your false accusations and unfounded insinuations against the Chrome devs are called "facts", but whenever anyone points out the obvious, it's called "personal insults"? :whistle:

In which way will Chrome become unusable on Windows 7 if I may ask...?

Have you perhaps not noticed this bar at the top yet?

This amazing thing magically allows you to switch windows without any need for preview bars of any kind. (Y)

This works as long as you can identify the favicons of the website. In reality, many websites have no favicons and even if they do it's hard to recognize unless they are very familiar like Facebook, Google, Bing or Neowin. So, Aero Peek is the easiest way to identify the tab that I want to visit.

Okay, there's a bunch of you that can't keep minor things in perspective without getting all freaked out. I don't see this thread ever getting on a normal course.
