Ultimate test of speed: GOOGLE MAPS with Satellite + Labels ... over the eastern US seaboard (highest level, then mousewheel zoom in to almost the tightest level)

Just finished the Comic, and the final couple of pages couldn't resist a not-so-subtle jab...

and yes, I thought I recognized the style of the art. The brilliantly expressive Mr. McCloud, of course *forehead slap*

First "speed test" I've found... A little too basic to really decide anything though ;)

Until Chrome allows the use of AdBlock, I can't see it being a success at all. And I seriously doubt Google will even allow one in its browser. Where do you think they make all their money? Especially now that they've picked up one of the old style add banner places...

Just use this Bookmarklet I found and modified...
Code Select

javascript:if(typeof%20window._tags!=%22string%22){_tags=%20%22iframe:object:embed:ilayer:frame:img%22%20;_ods=defaultStatus;_timods=null;_adBlock=function(t,n){if(!document.getElementsByTagName)return%20false;if(_timods)clearTimeout(_timods);defaultStatus='Blocking%20%22'+t+'%22...';var%20c=document.getElementsByTagName(t);if(c.length>0){for(var%20i=0;i<c.length;i++){switch(t){case%22object%22:if(c[i].outerHTML&&c[i].outerHTML!=%22-%22)c[i].outerHTML=%22-%22;break;case%22iframe%22:case%22img%22:if(c[i].src!=%22about:blank%22)c[i].src=%22about:blank%22;break;case%22embed%22:if(c[i].innerHTML&&c[i].innerHTML!=%22-%22)c[i].innerHTML=%22-%22}}};defaultStatus='Finished%20_adBlock(%22'+t+'%22)%20...%20click%20again%20to%20do%20next%20tag%20(%22'+n+'%22)';_timods=setTimeout('defaultStatus=_ods;_timods=null',5000)}};if(!_tags){void(0)}else{var%20artags=_tags.split(%22:%22);_tags=_tags.substring(artags[0].length+1);void(_adBlock(artags[0],artags[1]?artags[1]:%22-done-%22))}


Each click kills a particular element (based on TagName) ... should work in any DOM-based browser, I'm guessing :)

I like this little thumbnail thingy, it's pretty cool.

I'm really liking the crash safety, I just had one tab crash and the rest are a-ok!

What they should have done was make sure it was impossible for tabs to crash in the first place ;)

enter .% in the omnibar and see what happens

As explained in the cartoon plugins tend to cause crashes and still hook to deep to sandbox without a rewrite.

It just searched for ".%".

oops should have been :% it is a bug that causes the whole browser to crash.
