Starting to hate Google Chrome
    #14002318 - 02/21/11 03:54 PM (12 years, 11 months ago)

So when I first got Google Chrome it ran kind of slow. I looked up the reason why, and it had to do with contacting the servers or something (I'm not much of a computer nerd, though used to be), so I went into the preferences and fixed it.
After doing that, it ran significantly faster than Firefox.

Now Chrome is starting to annoy the shit out of me.
Sometimes when I try to view a photo, or load some kind of script, I will sit there for a minute or two... waiting...and waiting....and waiting....
And finally I grow impatient, so I click to another page to refresh the browser and see if it's possibly frozen;
and RIGHT when It begins loading the other page, the script that was taking forever to load suddenly pops up, but it's too late because I'm already going to a different page :crankey:

This happens with photos sometimes. It sometimes happens when I'm waiting for a comment box to appear so I can type, and sometimes it happens if I'm waiting for some kind of flash code to do it's thing.

So I'm thinking there must be a reason for this, because it seems to be happening more and more. When I open internet explorer, and try the exact same thing, it works just fine, but I hate IE.

Any idea why it would be doing this?
Is it possibly a similar problem to what I originally had?
Should I try updating Java? Or maybe updating my Adobe Flash?

Saving your bookmarks and reinstalling Chrome is a safe option.

I haven't found any faults with Chrome, it's run smooth since day 1 of installation.

I actually migrated from Firefox to Google Chrome because someone told me that with Google Chrome you don't get the commercials on youtube.

...They fucking lied  :crankynoweed:

Just get the Adblocker addon for Firefox.

It's not running slow...

It sometimes will sit there acting like it's loading a script for however long I am willing to patiently sit.
Then when I become impatient and click to view another page, the script magically appears at the last split second as I'm leaving that page.

It's hard to explain. I wish I had fraps on this computer so I could record it.

Basically the script is actually already loaded, but it wont show that it is loaded until I am leaving the page.

Got it. You know, it could be just that certain browsers are weird under certain configurations. Stick to an alternate browser.

Chrome is faster than a motherfucker on my machine, but I stick with firefox because it's better and saving passwords and usernames and such and automatically filling them in

i have had some funky shit happen with chrome, but it was all due to addons. cooliris and xmarks would cause the browser to eventually crash after about a day no matter what i did until they were disabled. now it works like a charm except for randomly deciding to load youtube vids at dialup speed even though i'm not using any other bandwidth.

I think I'm going to move back to Firefox.

It never gave me problems, I just wanted to try to get rid of those goddamn commercials on youtube.
