New Browser: "Cruz"

Neato:

If you click on the CoverFlow button and do, say, a Google search, it displays thumbnails album-art style of each of the links. Pretty snazzy!

Thanks for the heads up on this Kaido.

Here's my issue. I know people want to build their own app, but the browser scene is RIDICULOUS. These developers need to buckle down and just build extensibility into Firefox, or Safari, or IE. Those are the three big players, and I would honestly prefer that it stay that way. I think all these small players just muck up the web development scene, and it annoys the heck out of me.

I definitely would like to see more 3rd party development into Safari, but only if they do it correctly. Inquisitor and Safari-Adblock are the only 2 that I use, and they are both great, but way too many others are still using SIMBL and other sort of hacks that can cause numerous problems.

Forget that. As much as i love Firefox, i wouldn't want them to be the only browser. How else are you going to get innovation if people are sticking to a standard?

Yes, but you need a standard in order to make the experience something that is actually desirable. Right now, the development of web sites can be frustrating at best, when you have all these browsers that you have to deal with. I understand creativity, but creativity can be had within the standards compliant environment.

Also, why, when you have PHP, Javascript, CSS, XHTML, SpryWidgets, Ajax, Coldfusion, RubyOnRails, .NET, etc... can you not be creative?

I'm just saying that there is already too much creativity sometimes.

LOL too much creativity? That's a new one.

Anyways, i can't unzip this file. Getting an Error 1 - Operation not permitted.

That didn't come out as well as I had intended it. Either way, though, I still hold that there needs to be a platform standard. Web development can leap and bound above the limitations of the standard, but if you are coding for a standard, then that needs to be displayed EXACTLY the same across all the browsers. And I do understand the text discrepancies of the OSes, but I'm talking that CSS styles work in FF3, but then don't display anything in IE7, or vice versa. That is just unacceptable.

Either way. I don't do too well explaining my opinions alot of times... :/

I played with it some. It's a neat idea. I particularly like how you can put one webpage in one "frame" and another webpage in one beside it. It'd be handy in a lot of situations, but I kind of wish there was more parity between the three frames.
