I'd love to know what everyday tasks you're doing for which Chrome or the iPhone are too limiting.
- slowpoke 14y agoNot the parent, but for Chrome, probably the horribly limited extension API. I could not even begin to imagine how I would use a browser without Pentadactyl. Or Tree Style Tabs. Both of which are flat out impossible in Chrome. As are tons of other extensions.
- icebraining 14y agoWell, for one, I'm a Pentadactyl user just like slowpoke, but also of DownThemAll!, NoScript (from everything I've read, NotScripts is a poor clone - no offense to the developer, as I said, they're limitations of the browser API) and some others. In the past, I've also used my own extension, that allowed me (and the few hundred other users) to select a piece of text and launch a terminal using it as a command. Absolutely impossible to do in Chrome. Finally, Tiddlywiki - only usable in Chrome if you install and run a Java program (applet?). Since I don't have Java in my work laptop, no dice. As for the iPhone, simply installing non-approved apps; old console emulators, for example.
