Members blargh Posted November 1, 2009 Members Share Posted November 1, 2009 This {censored}ing browser has really been getting on my nerves lately. The recent updates seem to have made it suck. It feels sluggish, takes forever to cold start, and I've been having stability issues with it for a couple months now where some sites make it crash almost daily, it eats up stupid amounts of memory, yesterday it completely locked up my computer where i had to reset the {censored}ing thing and after it crashes and you start it up again... it tries to go restore your tabs and go back to the site that MADE IT CRASH IN THE FIRST PLACE :facepalm: should i change browsers? is it my computer and maybe i just need to reinstall windows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NaturalBornBoy Posted November 1, 2009 Members Share Posted November 1, 2009 I installed Firefox a few days ago and initially it worked perfect. Then all of a sudden, I can't play YT vids on HC???? WTF?!?!?!?!?! Went back to using Safari and all was good again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Aibric Posted November 1, 2009 Members Share Posted November 1, 2009 Its fine for me and I am running various plug-ins as well (Fire FM, ABP, foxyproxy, FireFTP). It can take up a good chunk of memory if you don't have much to begin with, but that is partially dependent on what you're browsing. Its really pretty comparable memory wise to any other full-featured browser and its features work better than those in others. I have tried all the browsers and many have their strong points, but Firefox still meets my needs the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Nate-Peavey Posted November 1, 2009 Members Share Posted November 1, 2009 Google Chrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Aibric Posted November 1, 2009 Members Share Posted November 1, 2009 Not the biggest fan of Chrome. It isn't bad, its just weird to me and not as useful as Firefox considering all the crap I like using. I also think its retarded that they are marketing gimmicks like "personalizing" your browser's background with a picture and worthless {censored} like that. They are clearly going after the same crowd as Apple with crap like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Nate-Peavey Posted November 1, 2009 Members Share Posted November 1, 2009 So Firefox > Chrome??? Depends what you are doing... If you are just browsing and surfing on a Windows based machine.... Chrome is faster. Tech geek after tech geek has written about it. If you are Linux based... Firefox. If you like tons of add ons and want your browser to be much more than just a browswer... Firefox. {censored} IE. Period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
