Surprised to see so much attention to this: Isn't it exactly what Safari on iOS does on hundreds of millions of devices worldwide?
EDIT: And given the seeming confusion by some, no, the "article" (if a couple of screenshots and some guy giving an opinion is an "article") is utterly irrelevant to this comment. Noting that it mentions iOS is meaningless. We continually see front-pagers voted up by people who seem blissfully unaware of trends in the industry.
How could you have gone ahead and posted such a banal, irrelevant comment long after I made it clear that the linked content doesn't matter? Sad attempt at a dogpile?
No, I didn't read the article, nor did I claim or indicate that I did in any way. Yet here is yet another front pager about Chrome experimenting with something that Safari on iOS has done for some time, as if people just discovered fire.
Well, a 'sunday' front-pager. Meaningless. Monday morning all this lint will be swept away once more than a couple thousand readers turn their attention back to HN.
