3.6 was nice, and I've had very very little problems with it. I will move on to 5 eventually, but it's still unknown as to when that may be. | ||

Try opening 50 tabs in opera/ff. its gonna take around 500.600 meg assuming typical blog/forum style pages. then try it in chrome: it will take 2 gigs or more. Chrome is flat out terrible in memory use, its that simple. honest? rofl, i dont open 50 tabs in chrome. why should i? i never actually open that many tabs, maybe 20 max. its different for everybody, everybody uses browsers differently, you cant just make a blanket statement on why other people should use the browser you like. i always find it amusing that these arguments on internet browsers are such that people have to use the words "be honest" in replies to me i've also had resource issues in the past and present with all of the listed browsers and they all fail in some cases, but the multi process design of chrome makes it much easier to handle when something goes wrong in memory usage since individual processes can just be killed manually in chrome using its built in manager. this is really the design i wish more browsers had but dont, i think that creating new processes should be a little smarter than the way chrome does it but it is a step in the right direction to making a more easily controllable browser (hence why they have chrome OS now) On June 25 2011 09:23 DarkOptik wrote: Is it just me or does Adblock for Chrome not work for Jtv ads?

It works fine with FF4/5 though. chrome does not block embeeded flash ads well, if at all--i have not seen it properly block flash ads ever. even opera does better than chrome at this, but if you want a browser that actually blocks everything you hate, use firefox. i dont know if chrome will ever improve upon this. the opera way of blocking ads is more crude than firefox and can actually sometimes be detrimental to performance with some badly made filters.

Firefox is going to load everything because it's been around for so long web designers are used to programing for it. With 5.0 Firefox is also catching back up in terms of speed. I find all the chrome fanboys strange. I tried chrome, it didn't load pages correctly broke flash players. Maybe it's gotten better but not loading all webpages is fail for a browser. That said I keep switching back and forth between safari(on Mac) and firefox. Safari keeps flash from loading in new tabs until you actually switch to the tab saving battery life for laptops. never had that issue, opera sure sucks at handling some webscripts though. | ||

Seriously both of those are so ugly, just use internet explorer... firefox is crap. I hope you're trolling. Firefox has extremely customizable appearance (in multiple ways), and is generally always ahead in web standards and feature support over Internet Explorer. Bandwagoning has nothing to do with it — it's about using an excellent product, one that caters to the user with a huge amount of extensions that will provide the exact features a user needs, and one which is highly configurable via screens like about:config. | ||

Ever since FF4, it seems like any flash related site has a 1/4 chance of crashing my firefox, it's driving me mad. | ||

Edit : But honestly I don't have a huge preference between the big three. Lot of exaggerated hate going around in this thread... Try to take a deep breath, reread your post, then decide if it's worth it :S | ||

wow guess this wasn't my computer's problem Sometimes youtube will crash when I minimize or try to close firefox if it has 2 or more tags and it's really pissing me off, ctrl-alt-delete won't fix it. I just have to wait a long time until it finally asks me "U WANT TO CLOSE TABS YES/NO??" I really don't want to jump ship to chrome because DownloadthemAll is an amazing addon which chrome doesn't have  edit: On a side note, if chrome has downloadthemall addon, I would jump ship. Or anything even similar to it. | ||
