| Date of publication | 2008 |
| Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) | Google Chrome |
| Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) | The comic is the subject of the "Announcement" section of the article, but no direct link of preview is provided. And the comic is really interesting and showing that it exists instead of just mentioning it would provide a lot of value to that section. |
| Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1) |
The software or website from which the screenshot is taken is copyrighted and not released under a free license, so creation of a free image is not possible. |
| Not replaceable with textual coverage because (WP:NFCC#1) |
The current text does not convey the graphical style or the shown attitude towards open source software. |
| Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) | The original resolution downloaded was about 1000xsomething. The new resolution is 500 × 710. It also is only the first panel of 38. |
| Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2) |
The use of a low resolution screenshot from software or a website will not impact the commercial viability of the software or site. |
