Good stuff. Thank God the Mac version doesn't have that awful blue color that Chrome has on Windows. When Chrome is ripe with all features and add-ons like AdBlock Plus, Firebug and GreaseMonkey -- FF will have to shape up.

Oh just you wait, the blue will come. And even better on Linux they plan on painting for own windows borders (they don't like your window manager) so it looks like Vista in the name of branding.

No we don't. Fitting in with different windows managers is probably going to be a case of distributions skinning Chromium based on their default WM.

But we have bigger fish to fry for the moment.

Having said that. It would be hilarious, so it might be an option :)

Citation please?

"My other priority is to ensure that the core essence of Chrome's design makes it to each of our platforms. A key aspect to this is the "Skyline" of the browser with tabs merging with the title bar and the general visual design. There are other aspects too mainly related to how certain features work. To me, it's important that the product be recognizable from a distance as "Chrome" - e.g when seen on TV or over someone's shoulder. I do believe it's possible to achieve this and still be harmonious with the target operating system. "

And when this was complained about Alex Russell replied by saying "Then you don't want Chrome"
