Kiyouta Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Not so much HTML5, but I found it cool how Google managed to do so much with HTML4, Javascript & CSS with that Pac-Man game they created for the Google Logo celebrating its 30th anniversary. Ok so they used Flash for the sound, but HTML5 covers that now! I guess HTML5 really has potential to be the Flash killer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruntlord6 Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Amen! I hate Flash!YouTube is opt in html 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted May 25, 2010 Author Share Posted May 25, 2010 YouTube is opt in html 5Do you need a youtube account in order to opt in? Or does simple cookie remember?Where is the option?EDIT:http://www.youtube.com/html5has a simple thing to click on. No registration. Doesn't seem, to work for me. Guess I'll have to wait until firefox comes out with webm version. Hopefully 3.6.x release will enable webm, and not wait for firefox 4.0EDIT:I installed Chromium daily ppa which has webm support. youtube works.Chrome is nice and fast, but without proper adblock+ it is useless. Going to some websites there are video ads playing and my CPU goes up to 70% (both cores) while it plays all the ads.Sorry, but a core2duo should be fast enough to browse the internet.

athanasios Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I agree and add: even single core, like mine. OK some videos maybe a bit choppy but then I download and watch with media player classic. Firefox forever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted May 27, 2010 Author Share Posted May 27, 2010 https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/cfhdojbkjhnklbpkdaibdccddilifddbOnly hides ads. Doesn't prevent connections. In fact it says on that page that it has to show the ads, then it hides them.Chome/Chromium doesn't support blocking connections like firefox adblock+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athanasios Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Good you mentioned that, so I will 'never' install Chrome and waste my time. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted May 28, 2010 Author Share Posted May 28, 2010 Good you mentioned that, so I will 'never' install Chrome and waste my time. Thanks.Well you could always install it and try it, but if you are looking for proper adblock+ for chrome, there is none. Although you could install hosts file which would prevent some connections.

athanasios Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Nice applet but loading in memory at startup. I avoid such wasters of resources except the necessary ones since my hardware is aging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If in usa/canada, you can probably find used sdram or ddrram for free. I know I got a bunch of old ram laying around. 1x128mb, 3x236mb sdram, 2x1gb ddr2 ram.3ghz pemtium4 is good speed, but 256mb ram can barely run basic os/apps nowadays. And with older computers you want to avoid swapping to HDD at all costs, since HDD on older computers are slowwwwww (30mb/s on my 8 year old).If using computer specifically for google chrome/internet, and not afraid of linux, try out Lubuntu. Which is a leightweight OS with chromium by default. I would run chromium ppa on it too for newest version.If chrome gets proper adblock+, I can see lots of firefox users switching over to it.I agree that chrome seems faster (even after I had it import all my firefox data). Which is great news because it forces every other browser to get better. Competition = good. MSFT monopoly on IE6 back in the day was bad for web browsers and the internet.

athanasios Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 I had 256M and upgraded my PIII to 512MB (damned compaq doesn't accept more). Big difference in browsing with many tabs open. No more running out of memory. And even better with 1G on my Athlon 1800+ (overclocked to 2000+). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSFT monopoly on IE6 back in the day was bad for web browsers and the internet.this is only suited for internet and office software, its an old laptop, uses IDE, and it already had an hdd upgrade(from single platter 30gb to 80 gb dual platter.) Chrome is used because its optimal on both my pcs, the hard disk is basicly not noticeable, which is major on this system. I can live without adblock, if i dont see the ads and they are only in memory for 1 second then its fine, its never noticeable to me except when a site tells me im supposed to see an ad and dont Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 Google Chrome to drop support for h.264slashdot discussionThe html5 war is still ongoing. Google just leaned more towards 'free'. Good news for Firefox and other small browsers. Next step: youtube uses webm by default if available on web browser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
