Chrome vs. Firefox
I've been playing around with Chrome for a few days now, and I can simply say this -- while there are a few things that don't quite work perfectly (it, like most Google products, is still in Beta) -- it seems to replicate most of what I like about Firefox.
And my biggest complaint about Firefox is, of course, that it's a huge memory suck. I've been opening up identical tabs on each browser and then checking the performance occasionally, and Firefox is consistently using anywhere from three to four times as much memory. That's tangible, and Chrome so far is a huge winner in what I consider perhaps the biggest flaw of Firefox.
I liked it too.

But I got rid of it because of this:

So no thanks for now.
Thanks Candy Gurus -- just checked that site and you're right -- sounds like it may get to be really good but not now.
ReplyDeleteAs to how much space Firefox takes up, monster gigantic hard drives and faster chips are relatively cheap (thanks to the gamers) -- I just had the local shop put in a 300 gig Hard Drive (more than all I need for now) and transfer all my files and programs to it -- total was less than $100.
I've been going there for upgrades and repairs since just after my CPM computer became a dinosaur ("Hey man -- it's CPM! -- It's the industry standard! It's not going to change.")
