I switched from Firefox to Chrome right around Firefox 3.6. I have an average of around 20 tabs open at any given moment, and I tend to go around a week or two between reboots.
Other than the occasional tab crashing and quickly reloading (and by "occasional", I mean maybe once every couple of months or so), I've never had an issue with Chrome. It just works.
- snowwrestler 12y agoI also have better luck with tabs in Chrome. Overall CPU usage is lower, and the in-browser task inspector makes it trivial to ID bad tabs and close them. Firefox is a lot better than it used to be, but it can still be brought to its knees across the board by a bad script, at least in my experience, and it's hard to find the one bad tab to kill.
- psykovsky 12y agoGithub will bring firefox to it's knees with many tabs open. But I suspect it's because of flash content.
- zobzu 12y agoFirefox 3.6 was pretty slow compared to Firefox today. I would switch again to Chrome if we were in Firefox 3.6 times. Turns out, they fixed Firefox up pretty good over the years
