chrome alternative
    #14487479 - 05/20/11 11:35 PM (12 years, 8 months ago)

so, i dont know which update did it, but suddenly i could not listen to or load a single song on youtube while using chrome.

while i was initially diehard about chrome when it came out, a lot of things have been slowly annoying me about chrome as new updates have been made. but i guess this was the straw that broke the camel's back.... so i went out looking for an alternative and found this browser called slimbrowser.

its kinda weird to navigate around but it is pretty fast and best of all unlike chrome it does not zap your CPU while it is running.

so if any of you have a similar problem maybe this could be your solution

Opera

Or use lynx, it is the fastest.

eh, I originally switched from FF, it made no sense to go back. As for opera, I did consider that browser but opted to skip it after I read that the last complete version was slower than chrome, and I didnt want a beta version that was still in development as that was my biggest problem with chrome.

I hadn't heard of lynx before, but I ended up picking slim browser because I like how little resources it uses. Ill check lynx out.

Okay sorry, lynx is a text based browser... hence the fastest.

You are really basing browsers on speed? Those tests are so fuckered up in my idea of browser test.


Opera is really the pioneer of all things that F.F., chrome, and IE use.

Really speed is your problem?

Use FF or Opera. Chrome will mature later and probably be pretty damn good. Fuck the rest.
