Google Chrome

[ewx]

If Google object to de-Googlized versions of their new browser still being called 'Chrome' (as Mozilla do with Firefox) then I propose 'Molybdenum' as an alternative, on the grounds that it's in the same column as Chromium and sounds better than the alternatives (Tungsten, Seaborgium).

Looking at the periodic spiral (www.periodicspiral.com), it looks like Vanadium might have supporters too.

I was about to say that.

Or rhodium, because I prefer its lustre to chrome, anyway.

I am Chrome of Seaborg.

You will be assimigoogled.

Hmmm, maybe "Gold" (which must be taken for about 26 different things by now, oh well.) Even if it is the wrong way around.

Surely Seaborgium is the version of the browser with integrated e-mail software? (I do like what I see of GMail, but I am rather reluctant to store all my e-mail on someone else's server. If there could be a client that offered the functionality of GMail but let you store your data locally, I'd be very tempted.)

Why not call it Chromium?

Lo and behold, http://www.chromium.org/.
