[QUOTE=glitchvid;47351948]Oh, that makes sense; I'll start putting higher octane in my chrome when I need it to run better. Browsers are not cars, memory efficiency improvements will benefit everyone who uses the browser, not just people who use a ton of tabs, I retain my assertion that chrome devs simply want to avoid doing any complex work, as they've done to something as simple as APNG support (Seriously, look at the developer discussions, patches [I]exist[/I] that provide excellent APNG support, but chromium maintainers refuse to add it). Also, I simply prefer chrome to Opera and Firefox, memory handling isn't something that significant to make me switch; especially because firefox only performs [I]slightly[/I] better in that regard; and then it lacks a ton of features I enjoy in chrome - You are literally arguing against chrome improving its memory handling.[/QUOTE] they refuse to add APNG support because it's nonstandard?

[QUOTE=Levelog;47343953]It's an absolute memory hog and prone to leaks.[/QUOTE] chrome uses less memory than ff and ie, u need to not trust the task manager where pooled memory is involved all those processes that look like they're using lots of memory aren't actually using memory

[QUOTE=LordCrypto;47352168]they refuse to add APNG support because it's nonstandard?[/QUOTE] Yes, among many reasons, APNG isn't very well standardized, it was simply an example that got closest to what I was trying to illustrate; these issues get very complex and even simplifying it to "memory efficiency" or "handling" could even be too far. My main point is that expecting chrome to improve isn't absurd, that it should improve if it wants to compete with firefox.

Project Spartan? Halo 3 port is now confirmed to be bundled only with new shitty Internet Exlporer.

Whoops. I agree with you

[QUOTE=space1;47352580]Project Spartan? Halo 3 port is now confirmed to be bundled only with new shitty Internet Exlporer.[/QUOTE] My question is, when are they going to name a piece of software after Sergeant Johnson?

[QUOTE=LordCrypto;47352452]if this isn't competing i don't know what is (market share in november/december 14) [t]http://lambda.sx/DIy[/t][/QUOTE] In a previous post I talk about that chrome isn't doing terribly worse than firefox in memory handling* Depending on who you're looking to for stats ([url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_web_browsers#Summary_table]They vary wildly depending on what website/group collects the information[/url]) most would agree that Chrome and FF are in the lead, usually by 2x respectively. So they certainly compete with each other, my point is if firefox continued, or even progressed considerably in memory management then it could possibly overtake chrome in market share, which would be cool cause chromium devs might start doing some more cool stuff. I still remember when Chrome didn't support proper anti-aliased fonts, IIRC version 37 fixed that. *The source on this is from 2013, and I CBA to test if it's still the case.

Can anybody tell me if Opera sucks or not, because that's what I use

I use up to 10 tabs at one time, but that's when I'm working on stuff and need reference images/code while browsing threads on Facepunch. Things, however, start to feel slow around 3-5.

Good fucking riddence

I rarely go past 5 tabs my OCD won't let me.

To everyone saying I don't want to switch because of chromes better UI, [url]https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/fxchrome/[/url]

Fuck off, sweet prince.

[QUOTE=srobins;47345553]It is totally ridiculous and unnecessary to have 30+ tabs open, no offense.[/QUOTE] You've obviously never used a computer to do college research or to work on a project. If you have a tab for each piece of information you need that adds-up really quick. [editline]20th March 2015[/editline] I like Firefox for cool things like Tab Groups: [t]http://puu.sh/gHMBv/73f96cb02f.jpg[/t] Though I'm not averse to using Chrome for specific tasks, especially regarding Youtube.

[QUOTE=gary spivey;47353355]Can anybody tell me if Opera sucks or not, because that's what I use[/QUOTE] If it's old Opera (v12), why? Shit's unsupported. If it's new Opera (post v12), it's pretty much just Chrome with a different skin, so it's fine.
