I’m not passing judgement on the cause – merely saying that from a user perspective it’s not there yet

In what sense are you using the word "non-compliant"? “…is it the fault of non-compliant websites that they don’t render nicely in Chrome?”

In what sense are you using the word “non-compliant”?

Henry Mon, 15 Sep 2008 19:25:02 +0000 http://diversity.net.nz/chrome-a-week-or-two-on/2008/09/16/#comment-9045 I've been playing around with Chrome too. Interestingly our site, which is not exactly simple on the code side, seems to run well in Chrome even though we never tested it until Chrome released. My CEO did a little post about <a href="http://www.liquidplanner.com/blog/2008/09/02/liquidplanner-dressed-in-google-chrome" rel="nofollow">how LiquidPlanner runs in Chrome</a>. I'm very interested because Chrome is Google's foray into building a browser specifically for running web applications. Being a SaaS company with a rather javascript intensive product this piques out interest to say the least. The chicken & egg problem of getting enough Chrome users to justify supporting Chrome on your site will diminish over time I think. The proliferation of (relatively) standards compliant browsers makes it less important to support any ONE browser and more important to support the standards. That's my take. FWIW I too have switched back to FF3. I’ve been playing around with Chrome too.
