Ignore Pete, flash is not built in. But it seems to work fine. Yes it can be blocked by millions of addons, possibly including AdThwart. Definitely can by AdBlock.
What the hell is an exif? No idea. Oh ok that stuff. I looked it up. Yes.
Google Chrome Now Comes With Flash Built In
On Thursday evening, Google released Chrome 5.0.375.86 to the Stable channel [and] the integrated Flash Player has now been enabled by default.
It's still disableable if you goto chrome://plugins/ but the point is you have it without asking.
You know how FireFox felt really lightweight and fast and flexible and configurable after years of IE being the only viable (shit, but better than the rest) browser for a long time?
That's how Chrome feels in comparison to FF now. It just feels faster. Not just pageloads (which have got to the point where it's so fast I don't give a fuck anyway) but as FF got more bloated its UI started to just feel... unresponsive and stodgy. Chrome just feels quick. And it loads much quicker. It also looks better and works better in a million little tiny ways.
So, nothing specific really, it just feels better.
Use it for a week and if you don't like it I will literally give you your money back, figuratively speaking.
I thought so. Can you tell that other guy that wanted to know.
Have you tried latest Opera yet?
Faster rendering than Chrome it has, in some situations (can't remember details, just a pretty graph showing them with insigificant differences most times, and Opera significantly ahead on a couple. IE and Firefox lagging behind, as expected) (graph created by work colleague with some automation software, against a smallish sample (pages from one website). )
Thanks! No you didn't, I was just confused because it wasn't *horrible* looking to me. But after seeing what you saw I can understand what you were saying!
