Loop alert

My stats software Woopra tells me Safari is now the browser for 10.6% of my visitors; it was 0.9% last week. As both Safari and Chrome are based on Webkit, it seems Woopra doesn’t report on Chrome yet.

This evening I was frustrated with an array in jQuery and as I was working in Chrome, I couldn’t use Firebug. So I tried to debug the old fashioned way: by displaying an alert in the each() loop. On the second alert box, Chrome added a checkbox: ‘Prevent this page from creating additional dialogs’. Really helpful.

Just got home, downloaded Chrome and made sure my (heavy on the javascript) plugin Run For Cover works ok. It does. That’s egocentric browsertesting for ya.

It’s nice to have a couple of tabs open without the airconditioning going into overdrive. Let’s explore.
