Pocket Lint writes: "he battle of the browsers rolls on, now with Google entering the fray with their Chrome browser. Becoming public on Tuesday, we got our hands on it to put it through its paces. Knowing Google, the "beta" tag will probably remain for the life of the product. So how does it fare in these early stages?
We've become accustomed to Google appearing with software solutions and are big fans of their Google Apps. It makes sense that the company with possibly the biggest name on the Internet has its own browser. A quick download and install, Chrome offers to import your bookmarks as you'd expect. It also pulls across your history, something that Google has always been pretty keen on."
The good:
+Clean design
+Eliminates top window bar
+Dynamic homepage
+Incognito option
+Separate tabs
+Download history
+Spell check
The bad:
-Some teething issues
-Flash appeared slow
-Difficult to highlight text
-Can't drag and drop text
-Back button problems
-No Java support
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
Been using Chrome since it came out. Love it.
I like how you can compare each running Browser in terms of memory with the Task manager in chrome.
Also love the Element inspector.
But its in 0.2 state, its light now but i bet in the end its going to be heavier on memory and such.
"Can't drag and drop text"
I could...
"Flash appeared slow"
Not with me...
I can't seem to get RSS feeds to work. :( My only bummer with Chrome.
i downloaded chrome as soon as i saw it and haven't anything else since.
almost all of the negative aspects talked about in the article were non-existent for me. i have yet to try using Java with chrome, so i don't know about that one.
-flash actually worked better than IE for me, but i did recently just upgrade my computer processing power so that might be affecting it.
-highlighting text was no different than to IE and Firefox.
"-Can't drag and drop text"- i just dragged that from above.
-back button problems: i don't consider having to hold down the back button to be a problem.
the only thing i found weird with chrome was the lack of full-screen mode, which isn't that big of a deal seeing as it pretty much is already in full-screen.
