Yahoo is still around??? That like admitting you use My Space. 
You use My Space?
Sorry, Badger said it would be okay because you were buy in the frak parties. I needed some place to practice my jutsu’s. If you need “your space” back that’s cool. 
Nicely played.
my new laptop gets in on wednesday. maybe i should check out chrome aided by 6GB of RAM.
That should work nicely if you use nothing but chrome for 3 days without restarting the browser. Chrome still writes to a swap file and never fills my RAM in Vista. Hopefully, you’ll have better performance.
Right the IE tab plug-in isn’t working yet on 3.6. Have to wait a few weeks until I can upgrade, cause some sites only let me watch videos on them with that plug-in. Hate that!!:mad:
I choose Safari. Looks like I put Safari into second in the poll. Cool. I am on a Mac so Safari is the way to go. I have tried of the others Firefox, Opera, Cruz but i like Safari.
I see someone voted for Baltar web browser. i am not surprised even being a whiny little twit that he started out to be he problem works better than IE
Wow, 3 votes for IE now.
Omra, i have to post the bigger file, because that firefox girl is foine…
I used to love Opera but when Firefox started putting out some serious improvements I dropped it. I tried Google Chrome for a day. That thing is seriously bloated! And frankly, not any faster than Firefox. Had to go with Firefox, if only because of Adblock and Scriptblocker.
I entered the room. The hastily built lab reeked of smoke. Dr. Baltar was apparently having a really bad day.
Gaeta was on a day off again. This has been happening a lot. Nobody on the crew ever knew how Gaeta survived assisting Dr. Baltar. Somehow I got stuck with assisting the “greatest mind of our time”, whatever Helo meant by that way back when.
“Yes?” Baltar called.
“I’m here, sir,” I replied.
“Where is Gaeta? No, no, no…that’s okay. I have to focus on work now. No, I don’t care about some baby right now…” Baltar said to seemingly nobody in particular.
Baltar’s project seemed innocuous enough. We were browsing the spectrum to see what we could intercept in terms of transmitted data. There was plenty of noise. There was so much noise that I named the patterns after some of the pilots. Firefox was a protege of Starbuck. Opera was that one guy who kept singing in the shower. Safari was that Marine who switched career tracks to being a pilot. Konqueror, though, was one of the biggest safety hazards on the flight line.
“Dr. Baltar, I’m lost in browsing. I’m not finding any Cylon signals to intercept,” I said.
Baltar never replied. The fumarello was hanging out of his mouth. He had that thousand yard stare again while looking at a bare bulkhead.
Gaeta must be bonkers. What good could this browsing with Baltar be?
love this! haha. i bet browsing with Baltar would be quiet a different experience if the assistant was a woman
I know when i started this poll i voted for firefox, but recently, the Extensions functionality previously only available in Chromium, the testing version of Chrome, is now available to the real Google Chrome.
There are a couple of extensions i find that recreates most of my firefox experience:
And now I am beginning to wonder why I should stay with Firefox… anyone?
There are a few issues i have with the extensions. Smooth Gestures is the best, not to mention the only working gestures addon i can find. However it seems to conflict with the right click context menu. The way to resolve it is to set the middle button as the trigger, and turn on force context menu. Or leave the settings and just double click the right mouse button to engage context menu. not quiet the same as firefox, but i guess i can live with it…
edit i just found out that is due to a Goolge Chrome context menu bug on linux and OSX version. So Context menu would work in Windows. That is also why most other extensions doesn’t work at all in Linux. So, those on Linux and OSX just have to wait till it is fixed by google. But hey, double click is fine.
well i to was once a disciple of firefox but chrome won me over; simple, clean fast, now with extensions… my only concern is google controlling the world ten years from now. but thats a problem, for ten years from now me…
I used Firefox for years, but ever since I tried out google chrome I haven’t gone back.
It is much faster to launch than Firefox and have similar add-ons to those I used to use in Firefox, only with much better design. I used to have a facebook extension that took up a whole toolbar, now I have the same functions in a single, small logo in the top corner. The design and launch times are the two major reasons I’m sticking with google. I love the minimalistic design. Oh and the start page with thumbnails of eight different websites you have visited a lot is awesome too.
As for the memory use, I haven’t had those problems at all. Right now I have been using chrome for an hour or two and have six pages open and my computer is using 600 mb of memory in total. And I’m working on a 4 year old crappy acer laptop. I’ve never experienced Chrome slowing down my computer. But Firefox used to take up a lot of CPU power.
The only problem I have with Chrome is that sometimes it has issues with Shockwave which brakes down, and when I play online games from a certain site which is made in Java I have to switch to IE to make them run smoothly.
I apologize for the thread necro. But, I’m guessing it’s better than making a new thread.
I ran into a problem last night with Firefox where it would consistently crash when I had a certian number of windows/tabs open. It crashed 3 times, then auto-updated itself to the latest version, and crashed some more. Between crashes, “free -tom” stated a near 2 gigabyte difference between when FF wasn’t on and just before crashing. Windows Task Manager had FF stable up to 1.5 gigabytes. I tried getting the windows and tabs back down to a number where it stopped crashing when restoring sessions.
I was shopping between Walmart, Amazon, and Overstock sites. Prolly had 10-15 tabs per site above my normal go to sites (10-30 tabs over 6 windows).
I’m using Windows 7 64 Ultimate. I don’t know whether there’s an issue regarding 32 bit apps only able to use 2 gigs of memory or not.
Looks like I might have to rely on Chrome more. While Chrome does seem to use more memory, it seems more stable.
A lot of people have been complaining about Firefox new plugin though.
fastcart, are you using firefox 4 beta or still on 3.6.x? and did you have the recovery tabs option openned? if so, did it recove the tabs?
I haven’t ran into firefox crashing since… oh i can’t even remember… recently i only have the adobe flash plugin crash on me once or twice a day.
I voted Baltar (ugh). I use both Firefox and Chrome. Chrome’s better for some sites for me, but I find Firefox easier to use.
