Firefox and Chrome

Thread Starter 
Hello.
Seems FF and Chrome have competition.
But gues they rush so fast that they make more problems instead of fixing them.


FF flash player problems what hangs up everything.
Chrome cant skip youtube videos and cant load homepage.

So is any other fast internet software I could use?
As long as it supports WOT and battlelog plugins works for me.

Chrome is threaded unlike Firefox, so i never get the INSANE RAM usage that FF gives me, and i don't get corruption/crashed tabs every 20 minutes either.

I don't have any of the problems you describe in Chrome.

I don't have any of the problems you describe in Chrome.

Chrome puts each tab in a separate process, not thread. While this might sound like nitpicking, the reason why I raise it is because threads share address spaces where as processes do not. Thus running each tab as a process would use up considerable more resources.

I think this is why Chrome tends to perform better on higher spec machines were as FF tends to perform better on lower specs. though there's a lot of other conditions that also come into play (not least of all the plug ins you install)
