Killer app for chrome for me is that one tab crashing doesn't take the whole browser with it. So I do most of my surfing with it.
Also helps with memory consumption because its per tab so I can easily regain more killing tabs as opposed to killing tabs and then reloading the browser.
I really miss the awesome bar though (got really used to having all of my history show up from typing a few characters) so I still use beta / minefield branch for some surfing and do most development in the stable firefox so that I can use the bulk of plugins that help with web dev
- natmaster 16y agoOn the other hand it hurts memory consumption b/c there's a lot of repeated memory in each process (at least that's the explanation I can come up with for why chrome eats up way more memory than any other browser besides opera)
- ErrantX 16y agoI fondly remember the early dev builds where a tab crash randomly took other tabs with it... and none would reload w/o a browser restart. :)
- Qz 16y agoHistory in the awesome bar is pretty sweet. There's a bunch of sites that I've been too lazy to bookmark just because I can type one or two letters into the bar and go right to it (and no they're not porn, just normal webpages).
