Now, you say the scroll bars work, and that's true, but moving them doesn't do anything. I was hoping that each one would represent how far along that number is from changing (if it's 1:30:00, 1's scroll bar would be halfway down, but all the other numbers would be right at the beginning).
Something else I like in this vein -- [the389.com] (though it only really works well in Chrome or Safari).
Question in regards to both sites; I'm assuming these are actually scroll bars and not just fancy scripting with some graphics? Cause that'd be easy to do ... actual scroll bars not so easy to do.
Can't test with OS/browser either, cause the graphics could be dynamically set depending on these factors ... and most code and right-click functionality can be altered server side :( I need answers!
@iheartpie: I use a custom XP skin (XPMC Compact) and the clock showed the correct scroll bars , so it's definitively using actual scrollbars and not just emulating them with graphics.
Looking at the mac version of chrome it clearly takes up more tabs and tool bar space than the windows equivalents which reminds me of Microsofts horrible IE6 with its space hoggin ability !!! heres a link of what im talking about
@glaeven: Yeah, I think I see what you mean, what with the awkward placement of the little circle button things. (they probably have a name, I don't know what it is.)
@glaeven: See that is the one thing i miss from the safari 4 beta, was the tabs on top. I dont need the title bar taking up the whole section when it could be used for tabs and save me another 25 px.
To firefox? Why not to safari? I use safari for it's speed, and for top sites. If Chrome is that much faster, and has an add-on to duplicate top sites, I'll switch.
@MacAttack7388: I like Safari too, partly because it means one less piece of software to install on a new Mac and also because it's so visually subdued. I hate how other browsers have toolbars littered with colorful icons. I know, I know, there's themes to make Firefox look however you wish, I just can't be bothered with pimpin' my browser all day.
How is Safari 4 not already a challenger to Firefox? On the Mac, it kicks the crap out of Firefox as it is. And for the people who use FIrefox over Safari in the name of features, they're not going to give a shit about Chrome.
@SysRq: I completely agree with you. I did switch briefly from Safari to Firefox until Safari 4 was released, I tried it out, and was stunned by the realisation that I didn't have to wait thirty seconds to boot my browser and load a webpage. I haven't even booted up Firefox since.
@SysRq: You seem to imply that choosing a browser for features instead of speed is a mistake. I would have to disagree with you. I use Firefox, and I'm not even considering switching. If you notice, those times are in ms. As in milliseconds. As in 1/1000th of a second. I'd trade .5 sec for a huge library of add-ons any day. Do you really think that is what matters in a browser is thousandths of seconds of load time? Welcome to the real world, where a lot of functionality is more valuable than a little performance.
And to anyone who uses the argument that time adds up, and by using Chrome I will save a significant amount of time in the long run, I could get one add-on for Firefox that Chrome doesn't have that will save me 10x or 100x as much time. (I don't have a specific add-on in mind. There's lots that save time. Pick one.)
@Yossarian Threepwood: Adblock and StumbleUpon were the only two add ons I used in Firefox, and both can be used with Safari. It's so much nicer to have a faster and better looking browser than a feature bloated and slow one.
@ForestFire0: I'm not trying to say that performance > features or vice versa. I'm just saying the great thing about the "browser war" is that people like you, who value features, can have a browser you like, and people like me, who value performance, can have a browser we like. One is not more important than the other universally. People have needs, people have opinions, people have preferences.
I find Safari 4 to be much faster than Firefox. I don't really care about add-ons, the few add-ons I care about I can get for Safari. When I have a page that is acting weird in Safari (rare but it happens) I load it in Firefox. That's why I keep them side by side in my dock. Different tools for different problems.
How about Camino? In my personal experience that seems to be really fast. I switch between that and Safari, and they both seem to be about the same, firefox always seemed slower on a mac, and so does opera. I know there are some tweaks you can do to make firefox faster, but I don't understand why I would need to tweak a finished product. Shouldn't it come set up to be as fast as it can be? I am pumped for this though, when they released it for pc, I was disappointed that I had removed my windows partition...
@djdare: I was a big fan of Camino (used it as my primary browser for a couple of years), but recently it's lagged too far behind the big boys to be my everyday browser. Quite a few bugs that just never seem to get taken care of and average speed compared to Safari 4 and Firefox 3.5 IMHO.

Too bad ME users might be using IE 6 or lower... And it might look like this.

If you want a browser that has tons of gadgets and crap, use Firefox. Chrome is made for a fast, simple browsing experience.
