I'm typing this using Google Chrome right now because my favorite browser, Firefox, has become a complete piece of shit.
It used to be perfect, customized and able to hit my favorite sites with no problem. But since an update to Firefox in November, the update to Firefox 8, it's become NOTHING but an enormous pain in the ass.
Ever since Firefox updated, I've been terrified of the prospect of closing the program, because I know that opening it again could cost me upwards of fifteen minutes of keyboard-smashing frustration as Firefox either refuses to load websites, or throws a tantrum and freezes because I DARED to open more than one tab. I have to go through a process of opening, freezing, force-quitting and opening again and again until Firefox feels like working.
I've had to deal with this since November, and I'm DONE.
Chrome is working perfectly, which means my computer is fine. It doesn't feel the need to spasmodically use between 10-20% of my CPU and nearly 500 megs of my RAM to sit there and freeze, like Firefox is.
I tried disabling my two major addons, nothing. I tried uninstalling Firefox and re-installing it from the website-downloaded application, still getting the same bullshit.
Does anyone know why this is happening or how to stop it once and for all? Because until such time as I can surf with Firefox and not pull my hair out, I'm using Chrome. I don't WANT to use Chrome...
The only thing that puts me off from using Chrome is the Omnibar. It should act more like Firefox's Awesomebar out of the box. I don't have issues with Firefox that often, but it's more than Chrome gives me.
I guess this is more likely to be a release issue rather than an user side issue.
I switched to chrome because FF became a memory whore, I'm going to switch to chromium one of these days because of chrome's privacy issues.

Google doesn't use the data from anything apart from to find out how to make the experience better for you
I'm using beta 9.0, seems to run fine for me other than some minor quirks that might not be related to the browser it self.
Welcome to chrome...
I was getting pissed at how slow ff loaded pages.
The ad block is better in FF though.

It's the collection of data that bothers me, not the usage of collected data.

Use incognito mode.
That means youl need to keep logging into websites though because cookies wont be storing any data

So they know what you do. So what? Let them collect it, it doesnt bother me.
Some people are paranoid. But likewise they need to learn
