give edge a try. of course mostly the same technology base as chrome, but the defaults are more aggressive on stuff like tab freezing and such, which might matter.

e: actually reading some tests the difference is apparently pretty big, which is weird, but good.

the UI changes are just weird. Hopefully it goes the way of new coke and they revert back to the normal, actually usable interface

im a fucking monster

i hate how they keep removing useful features and customisation options because they might confuse the computer-illiterate grandmas that make up 0.01% of their userbase

my browser has 'bookmarks' where I can keep things for later

it would be cool if the browser took a snapshot of the website when you bookmarked it though in case the site goes away or the author decides to redo the entire thing

I think I remember seeing an ext that would save the page source and external resources so you could open the page again from your local fs

now that theres essentially a browser monopoly they should all collude to limit maximum open tabs to something like 15-20 so that it covers every normal use case but would absolutely wreck the crazies

agreed

if I get to 20 tabs it's because I'm googling for an answer to some stupid problem I don't want to be solving and I don't like the answer in the first 18 or so tabs

firefox was the cause of my gpu drivers crashing all the time, had to disable hardware acceleration but at least now it works fine, looks like firefox does suck sometimes, still prefer it to any alternatives
