I've switched back to Chrome
-
After using Firefox for maybe 6 or 7 months, I can't cope with it anymore. Always crashing, locking up when switching between tabs if a flash video is playing on one of them. I'm back on Chrome and I have to say, everything feels much more responsive than Firefox. Anyone else noticed this too?

It is hard for me to imagine a browser being better or worse than another. I just use them to display web pages. All of them do display web pages. Speed of dislay does not matter, as it is mainly page transfer which is the bottleneck. I don't care about the menus, I don't use them. Even less about the graphical design. I don't see any distinctive feature. Maybe just one: FTP access is a crap under IE and Chrome. I haven't tried with the others... :)

Surprisingly, I've gone the other way - from Chrome to FF. Chrome was giving me intermittent problems when a number of tabs was open - not sure exactly how many, it seemed to vary. New tab opening would take over a minute to load, and Chrome CPU usage > 50%. Same tabs, same page with FF, couple of seconds. I Haven't isolated what it was, or if it was one of their frequent updates, but I'll give it a few weeks and go back, see what happens.

Yes, about two months ago. Since then, Chrome seems to lock up on every page that contains, mentions or 3rd-level-links to something that looks remotely like flash. With the usual workarounds not helping. Posted from IE10

I've noticed this, too. I have a laptop with Windows 8, and Chrome is almost unusable with any video (even YouTube!). It crashes almost every time, after a few minutes. I've had to use Firefox more and more on my laptop. On my desktop (Windows 7), haven't notices as many issues, but it's my work machine, so not watching a lot of videos on there anyway.

My code has no bugs, it runs exactly as it was written.

Nope. I switched to Chrome about 5 years ago and that's all I've been using. :-)

I have tried every browser under the sun. IMO, Firefox wins. IE - garbage in, garbage out, or in this case, garbage period - most insecure browser on the planet. Firefox on Linux is much better than Firefox on Windows - hmmmm - wonder why! Chrome, too many short comings. I use Palemoon a lot too - faster than Firefox (on which its based), but run into occasional glitches - I do use a lot of add-ons - one reason I prefer Firefox (and Palemoon) over Chrome and IE - better add-ons. I have tried Safari and am not impressed at all - I put it in the same class as IE ((which can be the worse browser on the internet), however, it may be more secure than IE and not a million patches a month (I know, I am exaggerating - but not far from the truth with security patches coming every week along with the rest of Windows 7 - so much for being more secure). Other browsers I have tried are Firefox based. I do like the array of add-ons with Firefox. Rarely run into one that doesn't work or screw things up. Chrome is another story - while there are a large number, most are crapola IMO. The few that I would have liked to use don't work all that well and, in some cases, not at all. I do like to get into the guts of things at times and Firefox lets me do that better than the others. Oh, left off Opera - which is also good - better than Chrome - although recent versions have left me wondering!

I used Chrome early on, then decided it wasn't mature enough (I'm a JavaScript dev, so I see some things that others don't), and I went back to FF. But FF has just been a POS lately, and is pretty much intolerable. Chrome, on the other hand, really nailed some things down as of late, and I'm back on it. Chrome still has some annoying behaviors, though, such as dropping asynchronous JavaScript (AJAX) requests before the response actually comes back. That's NOT what asynchronous is supposed to mean. They consider that a feature, and not a bug. But they do it that way because they have no other way to be "asynchronous", allowing the JavaScript thread to do other things while waiting for the response. So instead, you have to jump through hoops to make it work correctly. But for general usage, far better. Current pref order for the big three is Chrome, IE10, FF.
