#31 | Keep in mind, this is the first beta release of Chrome so the current functionality probably won't be the final functionality. Gmail is STILL in beta so I wonder how long Chrome will be in beta.

#32 | I understand it is still beta, I understand its going to change.
My "caution" exists because it is being produced by what is primarily an advertising agency (lets face it they don't make money on their search engine, email or any other "app", they make it on the advertisements they push to their users) and I just see Google going out of their way to make it difficult to make extensions for Chrome like noScript, something I wouldn't dream of surfing without.

#33 | I can certainly see Chrome not filtering ads or making it difficult to do so but I can't seeing it preventing the user from blocking ANY form of JavaScript execution at all. If they do allow some form of JavaScript execution blocking, it won't block JavaScript driven ads. I can see how this will not make people happy too.

#35 | Well, this is my second day of using it and it does youtube better than yesterday...Probably traffic...Still going back and forth...Interesting thought DarqueMist,
although I think most everything is advertising...Also interesting is the transformation, or transference, of advertising from TV to the internet...  | | | Distinguished Member with 4,606 posts. | | Join Date: Dec 2006 Location: Ontario, Canada Experience: Getting it |
