  • Jeremy Keith on Edge switching to Chromium

    Jeremy Keith: There’s just no sugar-coating this. I’m sure the decision makes sound business sense for Microsoft, but it’s not good for the health of the web. His reaction is very similar to mine. His call to action is too.

  • The Chromium Bookmark Manager

    [ad#Adsense: Horiz 468] A few days ago I updated to the latest nightly build of Chromium, something I do every few days using TechCrunch’s Chrome-Up application, and was elated to discover that Chromium finally has a Bookmark Manager. Up until this release I was unable to edit any of the bookmarks that I had imported…

  • Dear Arc

    As an avid Safari fanatic, I’m reluctant to dive into a new browser backed by any company with a business model I find… elusive. I’ve been giving Arc a spin every few releases since signing up for the beta and each time it has improved a lot. Just yesterday I was chatting with our creative…

  • safari.requestMIDIAccess()

    Jeremy Keith recently wrote about Bugblogging: Bugblogging doesn’t need to involve a solution. Just documenting a bug is a good thing to do. I wonder what Germanic compound word Jeremy would come up with to describe blogging about a web API that your favorite browser doesn’t support? Safari does not support navigator.requestMIDIAccess. I dug around…

  • I’m giving Microsoft’s new Chromium-based Edge Insider browser a week of being my default. Immediately miss Firefox’s Containers feature. It may be a feature I simply can’t live without.

  • I say, it’s OK to use HTML

    Jonas Downey, of Basecamp, on Signal vs. Noise: It would surely be easier to do that with 8 simple, straightforward HTML files than with some custom WordPress installation that’s several versions out of date. So what if I have to repeat the navigation markup 8 separate times? It’s not that hard. We used to do…

  • The Samsung Chromebook Series 5 550

    CNet takes a good look at Samsung’s new Chromebook 5 550. It appears that the launch of Google Drive has done wonders for Chrome OS.

  • Some thoughts on Google Chrome removing support for H.264 video playback

    I have to say, this makes very little sense. It is the Chrome team’s prerogative to add or remove any feature from their browser that they’d like to but the reasons they’ve given simply do not make much sense. At least not from my desk or the desk’s of others. John Gruber, as he typically…

  • Switching to Google Chrome Developer channel

    For months I’ve been using Chromium the open source browser that powers Google Chrome. Using Chromium had its advantages and disadvantages. I had the bleeding edge of what was offered by the Chromium team – whether it was stable or not. But, I also had to manually update my personal copy of Chromium on a…

  • RSS Subscription extension for Google Chrome

    Here is a great example of a good extension written for Google Chrome. The RSS Subscription extension is built by someone on the Chromium team and it brings in the unified feed icon button into the location bar to subscribe to any feeds found on a site. Works perfectly, fits naturally, has a fair amount…

  • Launch delay

    No matter how fast your computer is there is a slight delay between asking an application to open and it actually being opened. Depending on the size of the application and how well it was built, this time may vary. I have a still top-of-the-line 15" unibody Macbook Pro and even small applications take a…

  • All Chrome all the time

    I’ve been using Chrome as my default browser for nearly six months. It won Best Browser in my Best of 2009 list. I didn’t even realize it had been that long until I went back through some of [the things I wrote about Chrome here in First initial, last name](http://cdevroe.com/?s=chromium chrome). To be more specific,…

  • The best of 2009 as told by me

    In November 2008 I put forth a list of things I thought were the best Web sites, applications, and various other things that I came across in 2008. I said "They are simply works that I feel should be awarded with the recognition of being the best that I’ve personally found this year." I’m doing…

  • Chrome for Mac developer preview and extensions

    Ever since Google release Chrome, their browser, I’ve been waiting with bated breath for Chrome for Mac. Thanks to my friend Jake Dahn I got a copy of the developer preview. Its really fast. Faster than Safari on the Mac. I’m excited for a more stable and complete beta at which point I plan to…

  • Dipped in Chrome

    Google’s Chrome, the new Web browser by Google, has been getting a lot of attention because of its simple approach to browsing the Web.  But there is more here than meets the eye. It is all about the approach. The new application has its flaws, for sure, but what it gets wrong it makes up…
