EPTFF4 was the biggest disappointment, as it kept freezing, like IE
And FF3 never did that for me
I seriously considered downgrading to FF3, but well 5.0 is out and I'll give it a whirl~

This devolved fast. EDIT: Actually, I'll leave this open if it doesn't turn into a browser debate. | ||

Didn't try 4 but I didn't like the look at all and am perfectly fine with 3.6.X. Also, we still get updates, so all is good. | ||

I'm gonna ask you to open 15 tabs in chrome and then in FF. Chrome will most probably have 1 process for each tab with however much memory used because of it crash protection thingy. And then check FF with same 15 tabs open Should be one process and less memory because only one instance of an application is open. Not sure about IE but it sucks no matter what they do. | ||

Try zooming pages in out, shifting areas. chrome is decently fast at this, but nowhere near as fast as opera does the same thing. neither of the browsers have hardware acceleration at the moment.just because the latest iteration of a previously crap browser is 0.1% faster then chrome doesn't mean i'm gonna switch.

Chrome users claim to be the ones aspiring toward fast speed and efficient usage, while their browser fails at both these facets: its slower than opera, uses the most memory of all mainstream browsers, and doesnt have plugin flexibility to make up for it. In short, Chrome is a load of hot air. I have chrome, ff and ie installed and i checked a lot of sites to see for myself and chrome loads everything way faster. Don't care about memory usage and I can find all the plugins i need. On June 25 2011 00:20 Zephirdd wrote: I just got the auto-update, so I believe it is not beta anymore. FFox 5.0 Beta Thread http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/5.0/releasenotes/ wtf, 4.0 was released a few months ago and 5.0 is already out?! During 4.0's release they also announced that the following updates will be released faster than before (like google does.) | ||

It completely changed the layout of the top area of the screen, with limited options to change it back, among other annoying things. Worst of all is the "hardware accelerated text" or whatever it's called. All of the text on the web was virtually unreadable.... the text is blurry, letters blend together, and if you zoom in 800% you can see the letters are made of light browns and blues instead of dark blacks and purples. There were supposed to be solutions to change the text back, but none of them worked for me in FF4. As a browser it was literally unusable. Just for the hell of it I installed FF5. Much better layout, and actually works as fast as Chrome now. Text problem was still there, but the "turn that shit off" solution actually works in FF5. Ever since Chrome came out I've had to choose between the awesome speediness of Chrome, or the full featured Firefox with its Adblock that actually blocks EVERYTHING, where Chrome's misses a lot of video ads. Now I don't have to choose... FF5 is by far the best browser I've ever seen. Loving it. | ||

I like the fact that Chrome keeps things in separate processes, for numerous reasons. If one tab crashes the whole thing doesn't burn and I don't have to restart the browser. As for increased memory usage from this it is really a negligible amount. Chrome is weakest in the add-ons. Firefox is still the best at this since it's very open source and been like this for a while, AdBlockPlus and NoScript are just a couple of examples. As for switching browsers, I've been on Opera and Chrome for years, switching is a pretty big hassle. | ||
