Chromed out

I’ve been using the browser Chrome at work a little, just to see if my bad impression of it was correct.

And it’s terrible.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s fast if you do very little – which I guess is the use case for most people – but if you try to do anything intensive with it, it totally chokes.

In other words, it’s very much made for the “average user” who maybe has 2-3 tabs open and doesn’t do much in the way of real work or power use.

Sometimes in Firefox I have 2-5 windows open with 30-40 tabs in each one. And yes, I am using all of them and do need them all open and know what’s in each window and tab.

Just because you can’t do something doesn’t mean that I can’t. Don’t assume that my use case is yours.

And if you try opening 2-3 Chrome windows with 20-30 tabs in each one, that piece of shit is like using Windows 95 on a 386sx with 4MB of RAM way back when. It crawls so slowly it might be going backwards in time.

So, yes, Chrome is great browser if you need to do very little. Too bad Firefox is going the same direction.
