I seriously dont get it , How is chrome going up ???
or is the problem only for me?
I have been trying chrom since its start, and there is not a single time when it doesn't crash in 15 mins of opening
it is faster yes, very ; but it crashes here and there, and i cant find any reason! simply! DHIM!gone!
The last time it crashed, i was at the payment gateway for a purchase of 2k! Havent got the guts to use it again!

i have a netbook and FF is a real memory eater
So, i use the latest IE, which is quite good !
I always use Chrome on my office as well as personal laptop and this is quite good..only time I need to use IE is when I need to connect to my office VPN

i have never used it continously for more than 15 mins without crashin, so i dont know!
But FF, is a real memory hogger, and it sometimes takes 350 mb, from my 1 gb ram netbook, and thn processor goes to 100% and then everything freezes!
Since i see so many people with no issues with chrome, i guess, it can be a support issue with my netbook?

Chrome is very good, the only reason for me to put off using it is lack of extensions/addons like those of FF. Anyways, using [strike]ChromeOS[/strike] ChromiumOS when i need to go to net ASAP, and it rocks.
BTW, itching to try out the remote functionality which launched just recently.

Chrome is a quick and easy browser : Like a branded computer
You just plug and play
Firefox is more like assembling your own computer
Get the base, customise with add on's
May not be as quiet or small as the branded ones, but its exactly what you want (unless you want chrome,in which case you use chrome)
RAM usage is not really very significant, even if FF uses 1 GB of RAM (its using about 270MB for me as of now), most of us have that much to spare.

IE takes up a lot of processing cycles and memory in my case. If i use it, i cannot run any other process for 10~30 seconds, will be very slow.

chrome + fb = flash plugin crash.
it is not that the plugin does not crash on FF, but FF does not hog every last bit of available RAM before realizing plugin crash unlike chrome. chrome will take its sweet time and systems sweet memory... strangle the system until you hard reset system due to frustration.. it will show plugin crash screen in 15mins if you are lucky and patient enough on a x4 clocked at 3.1GHz and 4GB memory..which otherwise has more than 2GB free at ideal.
