Is this proposing simply that googlebot merely a web-rendering engine (a web browser) or is it saying that googlebot is crowd sourced web crawling performed by everyone using chrome?<p>It sounds like the former, which is rather boring and kinda obvious, since the ability to crawl js-based websites requires "a browser" of sorts to render the content...
Meta: That blog as got to be one of the best examples of terrible design - intrusive pop overs, buttons that constantly shake (<blink> tag anyone?), icons that randomly rotate to distract you and overloaded scroll bars that I can't grab.<p>Just. Stop. It.
