Comments on: Chrome is dead? http://www.chromevoice.com/chrome-is-dead/ News and Information about the Google Chrome Browser and the Google Chrome OS Thu, 06 Aug 2009 18:18:17 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: admin http://www.chromevoice.com/chrome-is-dead/comment-page-1/#comment-54 admin Thu, 25 Sep 2008 13:20:45 +0000 http://www.chromevoice.com/?p=521#comment-54 I agree that its success needs more emphasis. I think that will come over time and in the typical Google style of "quietly slipping into a dominant market position while everyone else is focused on the hype of the moment". The lack of hype around Google's product launches reminds me of the common engineering mentality of "product first, marketing is secondary". I haven't tried Netflix with Chrome yet, but a day into our "Living In The Google World", I've switched to the Chromium nightly builds because some of the odd behaviors I was seeing from the public release of Chrome. In typical engineer fashion, I'm seeing small but meaningful bug fixes and cleanups. Nothing earth shattering, just clear and measured progress. I agree that its success needs more emphasis.

A tool like Google Scholar can sit idly for months and then get a refresh and it will take off. A point I didn't make and should have: I used Netflix.com today to use watch Heroes, it does not and probably won't ever work in Chrome. Then again, it doesn't work in Safari, Opera, Camino, or even older versions of IE either. I'm not against Chrome, i just think to be a success it needs more emphasis.
