Interesting thread.
Every 13 months or so, I'll give Chromium a shot, as Firefox suddenly misbehaves (as of 2 weeks ago, whenever I uncheck "remember me" on the google sign-in page, all my "remember me"s across sites, eg LQ, vanish...hmmm). Anyhow, the lack of an extension even remotely similar to Tab Mix Plus has me scurrying back to FF within a day and a half. As of 2 weeks ago, I've begun weaning myself off anything Google. I believe they've truly jumped the shark, and have chosen the path of evil. Can't say we didn't see it coming, tho'.... cheers, |
The real deal breaker for me is the lack of tree tabs. There is a tree tab type extension but it's a sidebar (separate window) if I recall. But it has been a while. I like my tree tabs to feel integrated.

Currently, Chrome is the only Linux browser providing the current version of Adobe Flash ("PepperFlash"), which includes hardware acceleration for Intel GPUs and has nVidia support fixed. I never really used Gecko-based browsers (Seamonkey/Firefox), because they are slow. For everything else I stick with Opera 12. When the latter doesn't work anymore, I will stop browsing altogether and end the WWW era for myself. ;) |

Bottom line, when it comes to resource utilization, there are no good browsers to choose from. Features, features, profligate features. That's all they give us, and to hell with frugality. |
I'm going to, in most cases, give up Chrome. On Linux, it still has the best Flash player, but the browser itself is horribly unstable both on CentOS, and on Slackware 14.1 in VirtualBox. I'll be switching to Firefox for now and trying Opera, and saving Chrome exclusively for Flash.
I've also been forced to admit that Chrome isn't the best browser on iOS or Windows either. On Windows, I get unsmooth video playback even when playing MP4 files directly (it's not Pepperflash), and on iOS the integration with other software just isn't as good. I'll be switching to Internet Explorer (which I was amazed to find was the best Windows browser) on Windows, and Safari on iOS. |
