Google Chrome
Submitted by albert on Wed, 2008-09-03 10:00Since it is open source, we can get the code. To start look at: http://dev.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/getting-started is a link for developers.
It is for Windows only for now. The have an plug in for Visual Studio. It would be nice to have an eclipse section.
These commands will get it via the command line interface:
wget http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/archives/chromium.tgz
wget http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/archives/depot_tools_win.zip
The source code is 437 M. The depot tools is much smaller.
Google Chrome announced. Another browser choice
Submitted by albert on Mon, 2008-09-01 22:36Google Chrome Comic is really a comic strip about the new browser call Chrome.
For now http://www.google.com/chrome is the supposed home for this site. It gives a file not found. So, they still have more releasing to do!
Based on webkit as well as other open source projects. At the end of the comic Google seems to be taking a jab at Microsoft. They certainly could have created a closed and proprietary new browser. While never mentioning Microsoft by name, what other browser is proprietary? None that I can think off.
If they can make money off of open source projects, Microsoft should find out how. Also, they should port Developers Studio over to the Mac.
Chrome will be coming soon!
