Google Chrome’s First Bug

Posted on September 8, 2008 by Jeremy Clark

The first vulnerability of Google’s new browser has been announced and fixed. The bug is a buffer overflow when the user tries to save a web page containing a very long title tag. Now I’m sure it’s because of all the attention the browser is getting that this vulnerability was even discovered and more so that it was patched so quickly. The side affect of all the attention is more bugs and problems will probably arise but also that these will be patched and a excellent browser will emerge.

Side Note: I just can’t figure out why that decided to use Apple’s WebKit instead of Gecko for the engine. I have a problem with my computer at work with my mouse wheel scrolling not working correctly in Safari for Windows and the same problem occurs with Chrome.

Testing out new ad network

Posted on September 4, 2008 by Jeremy Clark

I came across this free advertising service called adgridwork.com that allows you to display a few text links on a page in exchange for your text link being shown on other sites around the world. This looks very promising, so I decided to give it a try, you can see the links down in the right sidebar at the bottom. The ads are fairly unobtrusive and not obnoxious, the best part is it’s free. If this sounds good to you please use this link and sign up for their service.

Google Chrome Screen Shots

Posted on September 3, 2008 by Jeremy Clark

I promised some screen shots and that’s what I’m giving.

One of the nice features I’ve found so far is the incognito window, this makes a function that is only available through a plugin in Firefox built in. In essence it is doesn’t keep track of what you do in that window. So if you happen to be on some inappropriate sites no one will ever know.

The biggest difference that I can see is that Chrome doesn’t use some of Mozilla’s custom CSS tags such as -moz-border-radius which makes pretty rounded buttons in Firefox. I’ve done a little side by side screen shot to show what I mean. Since all the screens are large I’m going to post them on the full page click below to continue on to the screens.

I’ve written an extremely simple plugin to disable to the Post Revisioning in WordPress 2.6. Some people have found this feature to be a bit annoying. All you have to do is activate it.
