[QUOTE]With no apparent weaknesses and generally strong finishes all-around, combined with near-native start times, greatly-improved hardware acceleration scores, and almost-perfect reliability, the latest version of Firefox soundly wins this installment of the Web Browser Grand Prix. [/QUOTE]

Chrome is still better.
That's cool. I stick with Firefox for just about everything, though I do use Chrome on occasion for a few things that are for some reason buggy on Firefox, but there aren't that many really.
How is FF with the whole "Leave a tab open and it gradually eats more ram" thing?
[QUOTE=EliteGuy;41267079]Chrome is still better.[/QUOTE]
Opinions.
I dont want to bash any of these browsers because between Chrome and Firefox, its practically a UI preference. They both do an exceptional job.
I've used Firefox for years, and then switched to Chrome because it was turning into a laggy piece of shit.

Firefox is taking up 800Mbs right now, it's already been a huge memory hog.
I'm having a hard choice between Firefox and Chrome, Firefox is much slower but Chrome uses so much more memory
[QUOTE=Jewkari;41267162]I'm having a hard choice between Firefox and Chrome, Firefox is much slower but Chrome uses so much more memory[/QUOTE]Weird, because Firefox is much faster for me, but uses more memory. (It's hovering around 415 MBs with nine tabs open, one of which being Youtube.)

How is Chrome with the whole "open a second tab and Chrome shits itself" thing?
Both of them like to eat memory on my computer. I use FF on my laptop and chrome on my desktop for the simple reason that they are equally laggy.
I prefer Firefox because of the vertical tab addon.
Both aren't really the best that a browser can be.
Once Chrome is broken, for me it stays broken and forces me to switch. Once Firefox breaks I can tweak it... albeit with some annoyance.
There's never a really smooth browser that doesn't hang or let settings be altered without you knowing.
[QUOTE=zakedodead;41267228]How is Chrome with the whole "open a second tab and Chrome shits itself" thing?[/QUOTE]
I have never had any problems with having multiple tabs on Chrome and I average 5-9 tabs a session.
[QUOTE=iWhatIsLove;41267109]Opinions.[/QUOTE]
not really, firefox used to be a real good browser up to 2.0.22 and after that version they somehow managed to make each version worse than the previous one. They fucked up really bad and this is why chrome is the reference nowadays, not to mention chrome's interface is really clean and convenient compared to what FF is now.
I switched to Chrome recently because my Pale Moon installation started to do these ten-second freezes every five minutes or so, and after a couple hours of having it on it froze completely and I had to end it with task manager.
No such issues with Chrome yet and I managed to modify the UI to my liking as well, I just wish there was a good vertical tabs addon.
the fuck is conformance
Opera master rac-
Oh.
[QUOTE=zakedodead;41267228]How is Chrome with the whole "open a second tab and Chrome shits itself" thing?[/QUOTE]
I normally have around 20 tabs open on chrome while reading up on things because i hate the back button and it barely makes a difference.
what the fuck are you smoking

Easily this, i originally used IE when i was younger (didn't know of anything that exsisted instead of it) was introduced to fire fox in school, felt almost the same as IE, someone told me about chrome, always use chrome now. It literally burns down to preference.

Is 800 MB really a "huge memory hog" for you?
Chrome is a process + memory hog, I still love it to bits. Got a new laptop, got Chrome, signed into Google/YouTube account, retrieved all my bookmarks, backgrounds and passwords.
It also downloaded my browsing history :suicide:
I told you firefox is better, but noooooooooo, I am never confortable around Chrome I absolutely despite it since its being advertised everywhere even in free software like avast.
C'mon I have never seen Firefox get advertised by someone else ever.
[QUOTE=iWhatIsLove;41267109]Opinions.[/QUOTE]
Chromium is widely considered to be the best rendering engine atm, even with it's flaws and web standards mess. Opera is switching to it for a reason
I used Firefox for like 6 years but a couple months ago I couldn't take flash crashing and Firefox freezing for like 10 seconds every couple hours.
Chrome #1
[QUOTE=Within;41267695]Is 800 MB really a "huge memory hog" for you?[/QUOTE]
I have 8 gigs of RAM and I'd be fucking pissed if anything, spare a game, used that much RAM on me.

You can transfer bookmarks, passwords, and all your fun stuff from Firefox as well. With Firefox Synch and you can save them as a txt file downloaded from your browser, put 'em on a flash drive and then put that into your new computer and go to bookmarks and "import".
I liked using the IE10 metro version because it's a nice full screen interface. Works really well.

or with Chrome it does it all for you just by logging into Chrome (same account as Gmail)
