- frik 13y agoI still think Chrome peaked around version 20, I have an portable version of it around. With it I can open hundreds of tabs without any problems and it is perfect. Chrome 32 is so bad that I question the QA department/process of Google. Three days ago I Canary crashed on start (Win7) had to wait til next silent update, but now it's a lot better than 32. Firefox 26 is great, the only missing thing is multi-process support - otherwise a single website can hang the whole browser... not so good if you open dozens of tabs and keep them open for days.
- scholia 13y agoI think it was the Chrome 26/27 era that finally drove me away.... Understood re Firefox 26 multi-process support, but it makes a big difference to resource consumption. I've not had any problems but if necessary you could kill the browser thread and restart excluding the bad tab....
