Eastereggs are a simple way of getting sympathy (for the less geeky ones like 'tilt') and geek cred (for the geeky ones just like this). Probably, some engineer just built if for relaxation (or training with the code), so the cost of it is neglectible.
A huge part of the appeal of eastereggs is the discovery. Listing them would actually remove that.
It is basically the same as collections of jokes: the are just not as great as one of those jokes randomly being told to you one evening.

Anyone who knows me knows that I am a rather solid Mozilla/Firefox fan. I have Chromium installed for verification that things work with my web development, but that's all I use it for. I much prefer Firefox. It was only when I read the comments that had been made here that I remembered that Firefox had removed support and checked it in Chrome to see what had been intended. I did not actually check at that point that…
Good to hear. Sorry for being a dick; it just seemed like you were trying to make an anti-FF statement based on prior knowledge and nothing else, glad to hear it was just their nightly build not functioning properly. For what it's worth, I prefer FF as a company, but I like Chrome for syncing tabs and the developer tools.
CSS animations work fine in Nightly. I'll say with certainty 0.95 that it'll be Google's fault.
As a corollary, the AdWords management interface detects Nightly as an old browser rather than a very new browser.

#35Kind of awkward given that Chrome's new rendering engine (which has branched from Webkit) is called Blink http://blog.chromium.org/2013/04/blink-rendering-engine-for-...
Aparrently the name is partly a reference to the tag:
>Why did Google call the new rendering engine Blink? Upson told me it’s obviously supposed to signify how the focus here is on speed and simplicity. Browser developers, however, also tend to have a tendency to have a bit of fun with their names. Chrome, for example, is all about making the “chrome” disappear as much as possible and Blink, he told me, is meant to remind people of the good old (and annoying) blink tag the Netscape Navigator introduced in the 90s.

Thinking about it I agree it does seem infinitely more likely to be something on Google's end.

Alas, people have forgotten the “data:” URL scheme. data:text/html, Look%20at%20me%20gooooo!!!!
"data:" is also disabled by default in Firefox.
You mean hyperlinks to data: URLs? At least that's not a problem here, as HN doesn't linkify them anyway, so you'll already have to open the URL manually.

Haven't forgotten it. Just not using it cause it's more difficult. No need to do something more difficult if I don't have to, right?

What's REALLY awkward? Google stole the BLINK name from a startup having used the name for more than a year. It's all a smokescreen. bit.ly/10gkQfn | The same goes for Microsoft BLINK. bit.ly/19k2snj | Can you say, "Deliberate trademark infringement to cause consumer confusion in a hasty attempt to prevent a potential competitors dominate market share?"
