I have had far more problems with Chrome than with any other browser. I have no idea why. The only web public app where Chrome seems to noticeably outperform IE and FF is Facebook(?). And, well, that's just not enough for me. I have an office with 12 virtual terminal devices on one speedy workstation. We try to get everyone to use Chrome (because its supposedly lighter on resources). As I Walk through the office most people use IE, even after I've taken all the shortcuts icons off except the menu structure. Apparently only computer geeks like Chrome on a PC. I personally don't like Chrome's sparse and restrictive UI. I don't like that IE10 is following in its footsteps when loaded in Windows 8 tile mode. I prefer to have a UI with parts that I can turn on/off to suit my personal tastes. For instance, I prefer my RoboForm toolbar at the top. Call it years of IE indoctrination but that's just my preference. I cannot do this with Chrome. With Chrome it has to be an obstructing overlay on the bottom of the window. I can have the way I want it with IE and FF. So for me Chrome is the one which forces their way on me. I'm liking Google less and less since Eric Schmidt took over as CEO. I didn't care for him at Sun or Novell either. IMO he is to blame for making Google just another "evil" technology company. -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Gustav Brock Sent: Saturday, February 02, 2013 12:34 PM To: dba-tech at databaseadvisors.com Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] http://dromaeo.com/?jslib etc. - IE10 and Chrome 24 javascript testw results Hi Shamil Oh yes, you are missing that IE-version-whatever per definition is and for ever will be bad cruelware. Microsoft just can't write decent software. It's that simple.
