Google Chrome and Facebook Woes

Thursday, September 4, 2008

In general, I think Google chrome is great. Its fast, its secure (well except for the DOS bug), bleeding edge, and did I mention fast?

Problem is, it has some compatibility problems with many ajax driven sites, most notably, Facebook. As of version 0.2.149.27, about 60-70% of the Ajax functionality on Facebook doesn't work with Chrome, so for you Facebook fans, save yourself some trouble and continue using Firefox until Google comes out with a fix.

P.S. If they are going to copy Firebug with "inspect elements", they really should do a more thorough job.
