Comments on: Chrome developer version bashes Street View bug

Street View no longer blacks out with the latest developer release of Google's open-source browser, version 0.4.154.31. So where's the Google Earth plug-in?

Having playing with chrome for a while, I realized I have get used to its Omnibar :( much better than firefox awebar, the bad thing is that for some reason, chrome always crashed when it try to import settings from firefox, so I can't used it yet :(

Google should just remain to search. Reinventing the wheel is nothing to brag about. All Google apps are POS.

What do you expet from a company that steals codes from microsoft to build their chrome... Even their chrome icon is like microsoft start button. Same exact colors.

I love IE and i use opera for 10% of my browsing and firefox for only ftp addon to upload my website.

Most people thinks IE dont render sites properly. Its because IE is by default set not to run in compatibily mode and when that is fixed by the user, firefox can't even compete.

Talking about fastness... i dont know about chrome but i believe it may be a fast browser from what people say. But when it come to firefox i have an experience about it. Its a slow browser.

Please cite sources that back up your claim about Google stealing code from Microsoft. I call bull. Your comment is idiotic and stupid.

What a bunch of whiners. If you don't like it, don't use it! Seriously, complaining about increased (free) competition? Isn't that what the free market is all about?

I sad chromehas microsoft codes in it, and you said you source so here it is: http://www.campustechnology.com/articles/67551/ read it and tell me what you understand.

You said Google steals code from Microsoft. They didn't steal it, it's open source from Microsoft. Per the article:

"Microsoft let the WTL pass into open source about four years ago. It apparently was one of the first such projects to go that route, according to Hanselman's account. Still, Microsoft execs back then were leery about "the business value" of open source software. The WTL's release was a rarity."

There's a difference between STEALING and using open source code that's provided by whomever. Chrome is open source as well, meaning they let other people use their code as well, and some have (see Iron browser).

Chrome is just the best web browser. We just need add-ons, and that's all.

Chrome rules!!!.
IE sucks!!!!!.
IE is just the worst web browser.

Google used some of MIcrosoft's open-source code called the Windows Template Library. Microsoft certainly wrote it, but since it's open-source software, Google is free to use it, so calling it theft is mostly inappropriate.
