My post shouldn't confuse you unless you're under the impression that 'best' means completely perfect in every way.
If you are under that impression then I'll correct it. When I use the term best I am indicating that Google Chrome does what it was designed to do better than all other browsers, it has problems that extend far beyond my system. Google Chrome is a very nice browser with a lot of functionality that nothing else comes close to. It's problems annoy me, I put up with them because the pros outweigh the cons. Do not confuse the problems I'm having as problems with my setup without looking into it. Do not assume that because everyone you know runs Google Chrome fine the browser is fine. There is no reason not to look into what I'm describing, if you don't want to then I don't understand why you're blaming my computer with such a small idea of how Chrome really runs for the majority.
Streaming is absolutely NOT a problem with my computer, if you didn't know this then go look into it. Regardless of whether or not you have problems with streaming, there are a very high number of others that have problems streaming things in chrome specifically. I know you aren't dismissing what I'm saying, but you're belittling it based on your experience which may not be the experience of the majority.

RE: I Hate Firefox
I don't restart every 10-15 minutes, I bite the bullet because I don't want to.
That is just one solution to it.
A good test for me is a lot of streams buffer slower than sh^t in chrome.
I just DL'd firefox after not using it for a year or so to take a look, and streaming the same address happens near instantly.
It's not my setup, but that doesn't mean everyone runs into problems with it.
I would just suggest looking into this to curb disappointment when/if you find out Chrome isn't a savior.
I've been using it for a couple of years, it is of course still the best browser like I've said..
The problems get annoying sometimes though, when I first began using it I either didn't notice these things, or I was so used to a bad browser I got over them.. -
RE: I Hate Firefox
That's true that is 3 O:
I'm not exactly asking to be believed, I'm explaining to you a problem with Chrome that many people don't know..
Of course there are also a lot of people that do know about Chrome's memory leak..
I only mean to get the point across that Chrome is far from perfect, but it's also the browser I use. I see a lot of bashing on Firefox for it's memory leak issues so I just try to inform those people that it's not just Firefox. If anyone thinks Chrome doesn't have big memory leak problems over time they're wrong..
Rather than explain it, I would just advise you to look into it yourself.. -
RE: I Hate Firefox
I understand the extreme love for Google Chrome right now, especially considering it's my browser of choice..
Here's something it seems like no one knows though..
If you're only running Google Chrome, then it works great.
The better computer you have, the better Google Chrome works.The longer you have Google Chrome open regardless of how many tabs, the worse your computer becomes.
If you leave google chrome open for too long, especially with other programs open as well, your computer constantly becomes more and more bogged down until you close it.
This, is a REAL memory leak..
Google Chrome has the worst memory leak I've ever seen, it's just very well masked.
It's also something that I don't think they can fix unless they rewrite the ENTIRE program..If you don't run into problems with this you're not leaving chrome open very long, you have one hell of a computer, or you're doing nothing other than browsing the internet.
It's possible to self-fix this, it's just annoying.
You have two main options:- Restart the browser every 10-15 minutes to release the memory.
- Clear your browser history every 5 minutes (I'd love some way for this to happen automatically every 5 minutes...)
or - Run in Incognito 24/7..........................
Google Chrome when opened long enough can eat so much memory you will crash your PC.
Depending on your PC and how many tabs you have open this will certainly take a long time, however that's when it reaches rock bottom.I love google chrome, I hate this problem.
