Been using Firefox for the last 6 years or so, and the last couple days its been crashing randomly.

So I decided to jump ship and install Google Chrome and im pretty impressed!

No crashing, better layout than Firefox, and easy to use stealth mode for guilt free porno browsing Mr. Green

. Also got the Gmail checker to check for new emails. Im in love..

how do you use stealth mode in chrome?

is it easier than clicking tools, private browsing?

I agree, Chrome is much quicker than Firefox or IE on Windows XP, but I find that IE8 is a lot quicker in Windows 7 for some reason

Hi

Tend to use them all. Find Chrome is pretty quick (Javascript stuff runs very quickly on chrome), but find on a low spec machine switching between tabs is dog slow, far worse than Firefox or Opera.

All the best

I could never get on with firefox for some reason.

I use Chrome on the laptop as it is noticeably faster, but use Firefox on my desktop as there is no difference (that i can see)

For firefox, use this: https://www.forevergeek.com/2004/12/make_firefox_faster/

It will make pages load a bit faster/snappier Smile

Chrome hides many configuration options and is a bit too 'dumbed down'.
They also have very regular release cycles, which ends up in some cases with unstable areas and inconsistent results.
Much as I don't like safari, it is based on the same 'webkit' framework, but offers a more stable product with more configuration options. I expect we'll be moving to recommending this to our customers at work for our heavy-weight web application.

I use firefox for general browsing and chrome for anything needing a bit of oomph.
Lots of tabs seems to slow chrome down more - presumably as each is kept very seperate. It used to be a lot, lot worse in speed to swap between tabs.
