Support NeoGAF

[-Pyromaniac-]

Not really. Android innovates a lot version-to-version, iOS doesn't.

tick tock

same for hardware and software

Doesn't chrome sit ontop of whatever webkit version is on iOS? So when Chrome decides to add functionality not available in safari's webkit it won't be able to on iOS?

 

[Utako]

I was really hoping they would announce something big (akin to WebGL support). I don't care about App Engine or Drive API.

 

[Phoenix]

Many of us have told you that AppEngine is shit.

They haven't said but i'd assume it'll be safari's webkit as they're not exactly friendly with Apple atm. I will use it for bookmark sync etc.

Google going after Amazon on all fronts, dayum.

Linux VMs through Google's servers?

O_O

the only way chrome on iOS can differentiate is with features. Which is more than enough if dem features are good.

Gruber:

It’s not the Chrome rendering or JavaScript engines — the App Store rules forbid that. It’s the iOS system version of WebKit wrapped in Google’s own browser UI. The pressure for Apple to allow users to specify a third-party app as their default browser is going to increase significantly after this.

 

[Izick]

What are the big Chrome announcements so far?

 

[D4Danger]

O_O

It's the same thing Amazon and Microsoft have been doing for years

Chrome on iOS

Yeah. Just never thought a search engine would join in the party.

[Enco]

Fuck yea iOS Chrome!

Later today as in midnight?

All 3rd-party browsers on iOS can do is offer a better user experience than Safari. Which is pretty low-hanging fruit.

Safari's WebKit is pretty good, except for some glaring omissions (made so that the Web can't properly compete with the App Store).

 

[D4Danger]

It's big business now. Nobody wants to invest in the infrastructure anymore.

Apple and Facebook are still content to build their own data centers but they have billions to play with

Such bullcrap.

If it doesn't use V8 and its own WebKit then it ain't Chrome, I don't care what they say. Android Chrome was already pushing it without an auto-updater.

Then I don't see why people are comparing it to Chrome on android and not being available on earlier versions.

Sounds more like Chrome Mini on iOS.

 

[Phoenix]

Dude I could generate some of the best porn ever with 770k cores

 

[kehs]

fuuuu

 

[Utako]

He's talking about VIDEOGAMES!!

 

[Phoenix]

Here comes WebGL.

 

[clav]

For a minute I thought it was native.

 

[Brinbe]

Bulletstorm haha

 

[jokkir]

Dat fps

 

[ThatObviousUser]

OnLive HTML5? That's really crazy!

 

[clav]

Challenge: Play Bulletstorm while Chrome box consistently spins 360 degrees.

OnLive HTML5? That's really crazy!

Really pushing that one Chromebook/top future.

 

[Utako]

Awesome, a more "package-oriented" paradigm is exactly what I wanted from Chrome Store.

 

[Tranced Shadow]

Wait, so are Chrome apps supported on the iOS version?

If so, I could have From Dust on my iPad :O

 

[D4Danger]

I don't know what's happening right now

Judging from the current state of the Android version of Chrome, I say no.

 

[Utako]

It's very likely that this is not the case.

 

[clav]

wtf is going on

 

[Good Job Bob]

No, Chrome apps aren't even supported on the Android version (yet).

 

[jokkir]

IT'S WONDERBOOK ALL OVER AGAIN

 

[Tranced Shadow]

It's very likely that this is not the case.

Dang, got my hopes up when they were talking about apps being supported across desktops, tablets, and phones...

 

[Vermillion]

IT'S WONDERBOOK ALL OVER AGAIN

Thisssssss!

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Me neither. This is like the Q part of yesterday's keynote.

 

[Utako]

Nice - the webcam and WebRTC APIs. Huge game-changers, but they've been in Canary for a while.

[edit] Why are people cheering for CSS Transitions?

 

[D4Danger]

let me show you some divs

 

[kehs]

This shit is crazy.

 

[Brinbe]

whaa

 

[Divvy]

I have no idea what's going on

 

[Phoenix]

This demo is VERY cool (albeit boring), but they limited themselves a fair amount by doing this just with DIVs and CSS3 transforms.

CSS is the same thing as HTML to these people.

 

[clav]

That was running from the iPad version of Chrome.

 

[D4Danger]

he's finally leaving!

*clap**clap**clap**clap*

 

[Good Job Bob]

Why was he using the iPad?

 

[acksman]

And Apple is going but but but iTunes store!

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Old Chrome and old Google... memories. Love them showing the small UI changes.

This is a great video.

 

[clav]

Old Chrome and old Google... memories.

Chrome was so unstable when it launched.

Ugh.
