Its kinda funny to act like that when for most of you, Google brings in most of your traffic...

Would you like it if Google banned your site from its search results? If it didn't allow gmail users to register on your site using their email?
That would be quite fair...

I guess if your a lazy styler like myself and hates styling then this type of hack is a godsend. Could you possibly intergrate a block IE feature? lol

You could then put a warning at the top or a warning intro page but still let them browse the site. This is what I'm going to do (the intro page) with IE6- and my new design for my site, as its a CSS-driven layout and I don't want to spend one week fixing crappy IE6's bugs I'll even put up propaganda-articles about why should they switch/upgrade and what browser should they choose, written with the n00b in mind (everyone who wants a translation pm me, lets heal the internet from the plague called IE6 ) edit: Or should I release this as a hack? :idea:

But IE6 is OLD, so I can justify such movements. But come on...Chrome? It has a great rendering engine, an awsome Javascript engine that's faster than anything else I've seen... Why would someone block it? Then the user that gets the block will probably re-visit using IE...IE6 sometimes... Do we want that?

I'm a big fan of google, My remark is purely made as a joke. I think the browser has great potential though from a stylers perspective I can see the benefits from this script. That said, All my uptodate styles look flawless in chrome I actually like the browser but i like being lazy more.

Personally, I wouldn't use the script but I'm tempted in using hasaans little gem. :up:

I think everybody should decide on his own if he wants/needs this or not.

Remember there are even sites around in the internet that are not to be found via Google and still want to be "hidden" like they where before.
They will love this AddOn


This was jsut a quick release, nothing more - use it or not ...

Oh noes they will see ur pr0nz!



Anyways, dont think this is necessary. Google has always been doing this, so has all those social bookmarking places (I dont see anyone jumping to block THEM tho) and MSN type programs and Facebook/My space. If you arent researching how to make a bomb or looking at illegal Malaysian jackfruit porn, I dont see why it matters much.

Chrome is a security nightmare, indexes your bank accounts

Thank-you; I will only delete this mod if the browser is out of beta (security reasons) and nominated =)
