As a Computer Science student and expert Web Developer, I looked into
what Google is doing with their Chrome browser.
It's a nightmare for all developers and programmers across the Free
Internet and world.
Google's Chrome and its very design is breaking all known and stable
internet standards (like JavaScript) for corporate/control reasons.
The goals and vision as stated by Google are not to work with W3C,
Mozilla, Microsoft, etc. on standards, but to rewrite the WWW.
With wild claims of a Google platform for "rich interactive
applications" that are non-existent or simple/dumb, it's questionable.
Perhaps a corporate power grab, masked in the language of "open
source" and media hype, Google's Chrome must be boycotted.
Google is effectively building a G-Browser for a "Google WWW", not the
stable Free Internet we all share.
In the end, no smart user will trust a Google "Cloud" server with
their privacy or passwords.

Can you back up some of your claims? If not get out of here please.

I am also a Computer Science student and an experienced web developer,
and if there's one thing I've learned from university it's if you
can't reference a claim, it's not worth saying it at all.

Yes, but do you have any arguments against Google Chrome ?

I think Google are making the right moves first of using Webkit,
second keeping user eye on the content not browser, next is making the
web more powerful and easier to use now im no pro at web dev and i
don't do Computer Science but from use there doing things right, i
haven't had to change the way i code it works the same, in fact
because of things like Webkit its easier and more fun because of the
outcome

Anybody that responds to this is responding to an obvious troll.

Ya, this guy is definitely a troll. He posted on chromium-discuss as
well with the same post, word-for-word.

The Chrome V8 JS engine is designed to be entirely compatible with
the
Safari Nitro/Squirrelfish/KJS/whatever its called engine. Arguably
Apple's
trying to break the open web with endorsing of h.264 as html5 video
and
marketing vendor-specific css additions as part of the standard.
Ian Hickson writes and edits many of the w3c standards. Look at the
HTML5
spec page (http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html). On the header
is the list of editors. Google is demonstrably working with others in
making
the w3c standards.
Chrome isn't even close to a majority share. Assuming that you are
right
about everything else, Chrome still is not nearly in the position to
hurt
the development of the internet. Google, if not anything else is
promoting
the competition in the web-space by their sheer presence.
