i prefer the extensions of my FF...like ietab and adblock...so i'm not even going to waste my time. use Firetune if you want a fast FF. if you want it clean then use a minimalist theme and get rid of the icons you dont need...simple
Chrome is good but I'm missing my FF plugins! Also, what's up with the RAM usage for Chrome? If you just open the browser, the task manager will show 3 Chrome.exe processes. If you open a new tab within Chrome, another process pops-up, making it 4 total processes.
I'll keep FF as the main browser and keep an eye on this chrome thing. It seems fast at certain things but FF is pretty fast itself. Nothing mind blowing and like everyone else is saying I don't like my usage being saved on some hard drive in googles system. Also FF has good functionality with the add-ons.
Its not like the next time you get caught for molesting a child the prosecutor is gonna provide evidence from google of your child porn surfing habits. Instead you will be targeted for child porn advertisements and fake twats. Which might end up helping you, and save the children.
we need lot of RAM The advantage of this is that when something goes wrong on the website and it crashes it takes down the whole browser. In chrome every web page is a completely separate process,so when a web page crashes you won`t lose all your pages. We all know that all today's browsers has the ability of tab browsing which takes a lot of RAM memory (the more web pages you have opened). The web pages are also full of pictures, animations, scripts, links to different web pages....bottom line...for fast browsing with multiple pages opened, we need pc with lots of memory. Right now I`m "forced" to be using an old laptop with 384 MB of Ram memory and I can tell that it is slow in whatever I`m trying to do on it.
Pssh, since all of the web-based tools I use for work only operate correctly in IE, I'll be sticking with Firefox 3 + IE Tabs...the best combo ever.
