Thats today. No way in hell does it make sense to have "another browser". Even thinking about makes me gag at the thought of supporting something else, whether they promise "openness" or not. The "not invented here" mindset at Google is now a freaking a joke. They could have easily helped Firefox adopt the so-called "process tabs" and other tricks into what we as a community are still helping grow. There's only so many hours in a day, and only so many years in the battle of making just Firefox alone finally gain some market share. I am starting to think Googles lack of working with what already exists shows the worst kind of engineers you can deal with, the ones that think it's better to build from scratch than work with what already exists. Thanks Google for showing us why engineers shouldn't run a company.

Hi killerweb, if you read my post you would see that it says nothing about the fact of whether or not it's "good" to have another browser. It just stresses the importance of following Open Standards since you never know what the "next browser" (version) will be like...

And if you read what I wrote I never said you did. All I said is "Thats today", which means, it might follow standards today, but might not in the future. All my other comments are rants on another browser which is a fair target on posts that bring up "another browser"

Hi killerweb, thank you for clearing that out. I realize that yes your comments wasn't about me saying positive things about Chrome now when you say it like that :)
In regards to Chrome's future in regards to Open Standards, yes I am also a little bit afraid I must admit, though so far Google has a pretty nice track record in those regards. But there is no doubt what so ever that this is a part of their "dominant design" plans. Maybe first "extension feature" we'll see is that GMail's JS is being pre-jitted to optimize GMail (or something similar), then starting a GMail competitor becomes virtually impossible and so on. These ideas could possibly explode making the web impossible for others to compete against G in regards to. So while I at the same time think this is GREAT news I am also a bit worried myself... :|
