Does anyone find that chrome is just unnecessary? It seems like google got to the game just when all the other browsers hot a point when they are all good.
Not long ago, FF seemed like a real edge. Now I just use it cuz I'm used to it and it has extensions that I am used to. Safari is also good and even the new IE is good. I wouldn't mind using either of them or using chrome. The pace of improvement seems to be strong and even.
I have no beef with an extra competitor, but I am surprised to say I have a browser and its good.
- RyanMcGreal 17y agoI think we can fairly credit Chrome with dramatically raising the bar for javascript performance across the competing browser engines. The V8 virtual machine for Chrome compiles JS to machine code rather than interpreting it or running in bytecode. Mozilla has since responded with the TraceMonkey optimization for its javascript engine; WebKit developed SquirrelFish Extreme; and so on.
