Yeah, I use Firefox and it's fantastic for simple documents. However, Chrome is still the most popular browser so I have to wonder how it got that way. If it turns out that Chrome actually is the better browser and my hardware is the problem then ideally I'd like to know (even if I never change due to philosophical reasons). p.s. I use Linux with a simple WM. I have gone through great lengths to ensure that my system uses very few resources. I just want to know why/how everyone else is tolerating these inefficiencies.
