Switched to Chrome from Firefox

[Ryan Leech]

The OS you use is closed source

Almost all of the software you use is closed source

The laptop you use is closed source

The phone you use is closed source

I dual boot Linux, I use any open source software that's available, I dual boot my laptop, I have a stock android phone. sup

Good for you, but 90% of all your hardware and software is closed source.

After finding out about waterfox (a 64 bit version of Firefox) it cleared up most of the issues I had with Firefox.

This needs to change. I'm not just going to accept it

Yup. Waterfox is awesome.

I'm the opposite, I recently jumped off the Chrome hype train and onto Firefox. Speed differences aren't that noticeable to me and the general ui is the same. The only reason I switched was because i thought Chrome's resource usage was really high. I also like Firefox's smoothscrolling.

Sadly there's no real money to be made producing open source software. Write it yourself, that's the open source 'spirit'!....  <_<

it's always funny when you compare the number of contributers to the number of open source 'advocates'.

 

i honestly don't see why nonprogrammers care about open source.

 

complaining about something has literally exactly the same effect as if the software was private.

 

chrome is a performance joke.  same performance as everybody else but hugely more memory and bandwidth required.

I used IE the Firefox then chrome but now I'm back to FF and sometimes IE simply because Chrome kept breaking. It was fine for awhile and was gas for me but the flash player kept crashing. How can I watch YouTube if flash crashes? Couple other problems happened on my system. Went back to FF and everything just works. Its plenty fast. I think I may try Firefox nightly and waterfox to see how those are. I have tried others such as opera, safari, and others and just didn't like how they were set up and/or worked.
