“Our God given unalienable rights are given to us all as individuals. They tell us what me may do for ourselves, and they are the embodiment of liberty.
The so-called rights that government gives to some of us are parcelled out to select groups as classes. They tell us what one class of people may require another to do for them, and they are the very essence of slavery.”— Perri Nelson, February 9, 2010

I both like and dislike this browser. I downloaded it yesterday and I've been trying it out at home. I've been using Firefox 3.0 for a while now, because it's far superior to any of the versions of Internet Explorer that I've tried. I don't know if I'm ready to switch permanently yet, but so far I haven't found much not to like (other than the reported security vulnerabilities, and the initial license agreement).
One of the things that I think is really cool is how this browser handles things like the TEXTAREA HTML element. There's one that appears in the comment form. On every browser that I've used (until now), you can't resize the text area, so if it's too small to be usable, you're out of luck. This is one of the deficiencies in my comment form that I haven't bothered to fix yet.
I was reading some of the recent comments on the site and noticed something odd about the comment form while I was using Chrome. It's there in the bottom right hand corner of this image…
So I moved my mouse over that little triangle of dots and clicked and dragged. The text area changed size! That doesn't happen with Internet Explorer or Firefox! I don't know about you, but I think that's a pretty cool feature.
I wonder what other gems I'll find while I play with this new browser.
Oh. I found one thing I definitely don't like about it. Brinkster's live chat doesn't seem to work too well with it. It seems that the text window in that application hangs from time to time. I still like the resizable text areas though.
All in all, not a bad Beta, for the most part.
