What issues are you having with Adblock on Firefox? It works just fine for me.

Hi there, I'm looking for a new browser, chrome is tooo heavy, now i've got one tab open and 8 chrome.exe's in my task manager  :/, i tried firefox but adblock does not block ads on yt correctly. What browser should i check next?

If I remember correctly, each task is separated into its own respective process. That's why things are appearing that way. It's because Chrome runs each task sandboxed, so if a plugin or tab fails, it doesn't bring down the whole browser. It also increases security.

Well like @JeffreyEagan said Chrome has multiple tasks running since each is a part of Chrome (one is Chrome itself, one is a tab, one task for each extension, and a GPU process). It's designed so that if one thing crashes (AdBlock for example) it won't take down everything else with it. It's normal and a great design if you ask me.

AdBlock doesn't work as it should probably because you have AdBlock Plus. Delete that and install AdBlock

none.

Nvidia is to Dr Dre Beets as AMD is to KFC.

One makes you broke, the other you can get more of and have a midnight snack from the fridge when hungry again. Once you go Nvidia, you go broked, turn into an Elitist, or get the incorrect amount of VRAM.

 I was only 9 years old. I loved Fifflaren so much, I had all the NiP merchandise and matches pirated. I prayed to Fifflaren every night before bed. Thanking him for the life I have been given. Fifflaren is love I say. Fifflaren is life. My dad hears and calls me a fuckhead. I knew he was just jelly of my passion for Fifflaren. I called him a Sw@yer. He hits me and sends me to go to sleep. I'm crying now, and my face hurts. I lay in bed and it's really cold. A warmth is moving towards me. I feel someone touching me. I feel someone touching me. It's Fifflaren. I am so happy. He whispers in my ear; "this is my pyjama". He grabs me with his powerful Swedish hands and puts me on my hands and knees. I'm ready. I spread my ass cheeks for Fifflaren. He penetrates my butt-hole. It hurts so much but I do it for Fifflaren. I can feel my butt tearing as my eyes start to water. I push against his force. I want to please Fifflaren. He roars a viking roar as he fills my butt with his love. My dad walks in. Fifflaren looks straight into his eyes and says; "He is a ninja now". Fifflaren is love, Fifflaren is life

The latest version of IE is fine to use. While it doesn't have any fancy extension system if it is light enough and fast enough for you to use then I wouldn't hesitate. It is the safest browser out of the bunch believe it or not. Otherwise I would opt for FireFox or a lighter browser utilizing WebKit such as Midori.
