Fluther on Chrome
Posted September 3rd, 2008 by benIf you haven’t already heard about Google’s new Chrome browser, well… I suppose that means you’re not addicted to tech blogs.
Nonetheless, we’re happy to report that Fluther does work like a charm on it. We had to take our friends justin and PnL’s words for it, though, because we’re still waiting for a Mac version:
Has anyone else tried this out?

Since Chrome uses WebKit, shouldn’t Fluther look the same there as it does in Safari, Midori and whatnot?

Works great, as far as I can tell.

@Vincent… my guess is that the “more correct” typeface rendering* is something that’s either not part of WebKit, or they elected to leave off. Do you know if that piece is available in the WebKit?

@Vincent- Technically, yes. But in the browser world, I’m a lot more tentative saying “should” than I used to be.
@Eambos- Thanks. Glad to hear it.

it’s a fun browser if you’re using windblows, when i use safari on it, it feels so out of place, yet chrome feels…right in the middle

Wish I could download it… Come on, Mac version!

Sorry to see this so late - it never occurred to me Fluther might NOT work on Chrome. I have such faith in you guys! Anyway, it works great!
(Unlike a certain website some of us may have come from… and yes, websites that won’t run on it identify the site as using a version of Safari it is not compatible with.)

Has anyone tried compiling it for Linux or Mac yet? I’ve heard nothing but horror stories thus far, with no actual product being usable at the end of it. Maybe I will so I can check fluther using it.

I’m having some difficulties with a footer floating into the middle of the page using CSS as I redevelop my website. I hate the fact that there’s yet ANOTHER browser out there that I have to take into consideration.

It’s definitely a clean slick look. But I have waaaay too many awesome plugins for Firefox to just switch to Chrome. Besides, I don’t want my Most visited sites showing porn.
j/k I am a nice boy.
