The author states google's intent to release APIs that would allow toolbars to be used:<BR/><BR/>"We should start by building the infrastructure for an extension system that can support different types of extensibility. The system should be able to support an open-ended list of APIs over time, such as toolbars, sidebars, content scripts (for Greasemonkey-like functionality), and content filtering (for parental filters, malware filters, or adblock-like functionality). Some APIs will require privileges that must be granted, such as access to the history database or access to mail.google.com."<BR/><BR/>now why would they throw in their toolbar just to say they have included their toolbar if the extensions system is not in place yet? its beta test the browser, then they can add features and extensions later once they get their core more solid. It is their beta, they can release it as they seem fit.<BR/><BR/>I have developed software, you can test all you want, your team can test it into the ground, but the first user in the outside world can find a bug in seconds. They released a fast, reliable, pleasing beta web browser, they did not release something to compete with Firefox 3 or IE 7, yet.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02247626836881377416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-74124637109154192812008-12-14T11:32:00.000-08:002008-12-14T11:32:00.000-08:00speed is chrome's big advantage over other browser...speed is chrome's big advantage over other browsers, it is a joy for js heavy apps...burdening it with extensions may just run against the reasons it was developed..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-47013091207339939852008-12-12T14:52:00.000-08:002008-12-12T14:52:00.000-08:00I love google chrome, it is very fast.

Now did you actually read my comments or are you one those people who insist on defending something even though you know it's bullshit.<BR/>Hunnter, beta is not an excuse for something that has so many of the glaring omissions that are evident in Chrome has. Beta is not an excuse for not having Google's toolbar built into Chrome, something an avid user of Google services would come to expect.<BR/><BR/>I know you actually didn't take time to read my comments because you would have noticed that I referred to Windows as the predominant OS. <BR/><BR/>"It was released early for testing since the "surprise" was ruined." WTF!? Do you actually buy this comment? You telling me they put out a browser that lacked some of the most obvious items one would expect in a Google browser?<BR/><BR/>Did you also miss my comment about the fact that I didn't think Chrome was even ready to be released for Windows? Of course you did. Why you might ask? Because as I have stated already the first adopters of Chrome will be those who use many of Google's services. <BR/><BR/>Hunnter, answer me this: How does Google leave out it's own toolbar? I should think that would be in the top 10 items to be in a Google browser don't you? And I refer to my above point about first adopters. Why do I say that is because I am writing this comment using the Chrome browser. The bookmarks at the top of the browser are exactly some of the sites you would find on the Google toolbar on I have on Firefox. <BR/><BR/>I know Hunnter it so much more geekery discussing extensions, api's, and the nuances of some obscure code. But there are people out there that actually use Google services for something other then getting a geek high.<BR/><BR/>Getting it right is more important then satisfying the rumor mill.ppidgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01970627571920963696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-44515968865525791552008-12-02T22:11:00.000-08:002008-12-02T22:11:00.000-08:00I found this- Running Latest Chrome Browser in Adv...I found this- Running Latest Chrome Browser in Advance http://www.planetlowyat.com/blog/running-latest-chrome-browser-in-advance/ and it's worked.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-80893880791010520152008-12-02T18:17:00.000-08:002008-12-02T18:17:00.000-08:00Also, expect Google Gears to become a centerpiece ...Also, expect Google Gears to become a centerpiece of Google's various online applications in the not too distant future.

Besides, how can something not be finished and then released for use for Windows the predominant OS? That makes no sense. Besides you missed one of the important points. As someone who uses many of Google's services, I am prime candidate to be a first adopter of Chrome. Since Google failed to include even it's own toolbar in it's release of Chrome doesn't help it's case when it comes to it's most diehard users. <BR/><BR/>"As in, it doesn't run properly. " Another words it's ok to run Chrome on Windows. Reality check time. The bulk of PC users are not gamers, coders, geeks, and graphic designers.

Imagine my shock when I downloaded Chrome on the PC that runs windows, only to find that it didn't have Google's toolbar! It was not finished when it was released for windows so please don't tell me it is not complete to be released for Mac or Linux. <BR/><BR/>I have 32 extensions for Firefox. Nine of which have to do with Google. Chrome is a shining example of the major problem I have with Google. There are a tons of loose ends that never get tied together. A lot of tinkering with bells and whistles but never anything that ties the various online apps together to provide complete functionality. If Google is going to release a browser it should be aware that it's first adopters will be those of us that use gmail, docs, toolbar. To have included none of these as features in Chrome is mind boggling as well building a browser that is not even cross platform. To be frank, the coders at Google are spending way to much time navel gazing.ppidgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01970627571920963696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-87179664914299664362008-12-02T10:11:00.000-08:002008-12-02T10:11:00.000-08:00Does the publisher of this post realise what 'sic!...Does the publisher of this post realise what 'sic!' means?<BR/>He uses it in something he paraphrased from the source, which is posted later on, so I believe he must be under the impression it's akin to saying 'nice!' or 'great!', as the way it's used here is almost the opposite of it's intended purpose.<BR/><BR/>From Wikipedia:<BR/>"In writing, it is placed within square brackets and usually italicized – [sic] – to indicate that an incorrect or unusual spelling, phrase, punctuation, and/or other preceding quoted material has been reproduced verbatim from the quoted original and is not a transcription error."Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03569131434087773952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-29919921301575359342008-12-02T08:57:00.000-08:002008-12-02T08:57:00.000-08:00Nice, I`m happyNice, I`m happyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-50408733744406156642008-12-02T06:57:00.000-08:002008-12-02T06:57:00.000-08:00noscript! please please please. it's the only thin...noscript! please please please. it's the only thing holding me back of using chrome as my primary browserAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-8594533777180295662008-12-02T06:56:00.000-08:002008-12-02T06:56:00.000-08:00One thing I don't get is how an extension can run ...One thing I don't get is how an extension can run sandboxed, if there is interaction with the browser itself its not sandboxed (e.g. if adblock would mess up the whole page could stop loading... no way to prevent that).David Mulderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02329089489844472485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-75229972641514819682008-12-02T06:43:00.000-08:002008-12-02T06:43:00.000-08:00I wasn't overly fond of the first release of Chrom...I wasn't overly fond of the first release of Chrome.
