Title: Google Chrome browser/ open source Chromium
Post by: kvasir on September 03, 2008, 12:47:15 AM: Hello all, just heard about Googles Chrome (http://www.google.com/chrome) browser, and it turns out they have an Open Source (http://code.google.com/chromium/) arrangement. Now for the obvious pipe dream: Anbody (who's coding skill is better than mine) think an AOS3.x/4.x port could be possible? I'm using Chrome to post this msg, its actually quite nice.

Post by: RRunner on September 03, 2008, 02:40:30 AM: Yea, I've been using it for quite a few hours now and it SEEMS to be faster. I've run into one problem though and I'm not sure if that is my problem or the browser's. I can't get it to work with Java Applets. I'll do some more investigation on that shortly but... man, those terms leave a lot of questions...
