Internet Browsers

[gamerxxl12]

So I've been doing a lot of research lately about browsers and I came to the conclusion that:

Chrome- Fast, but slows down computer proformance.

IE: Isn't the most secure.

Firefox: Somewhere between Chrome and IE, overall alright browser.

Opera: Not as fast as Chrome but doesn't use as much of your computer.

When I researched Chrome it uses the most Ram, the most disk space, whenever you open a new tab it starts a new process, and it is always sending data to Google which means that there are stutters when ever you have other stuff open. So to sum it up it takes a lot but the most powerful.

Leave a comment of which browser you use and if I'm wrong or right.

So far I'm going to go for Opera 15

Thanks

Apparently chromium browser is the best. It is a light edition of chrome. It uses a lot less cpu power and does not have all the bloat that chrome does.

Chrome slows down computer? Unless your running some kind of legacy hardware or you're running like 1000 tabs, I don't see how a browser can slow down performance.

I would say chromium, but I have a bunch of information on chrome that it's ridiculous to switch

Chrome all the way, FireFox is similar but I prefer Chrome - love how it works and how it notifies you when downloading stuff and the incognito-browser is awesome, for those lonely nights, no need to delete history.

 

I don't see how you can be on a forum on which most people have beast PC's and notice how a browser slows down your PC lol.  ;)

I notice it slowing down my connection but that's not my PC.

I do have a good computer but I don't want it to slow it down, as compared to other browsers.

With "regular web browsing" (i.e. less than 20 tabs at once, and less than 10 add-ons) I seriously doubt you would notice a "slowing" in computer performance due to chrome. It will not slow things down.

I used firefox until some update happened making firefox take 30 seconds to load about a year ago, now its chrome all the way. IE is pathetic at everything, even its name is shitty.

I use Chrome, the reason that Chrome starts a new process for each tab is so that if one of your tabs stop responding/plain just breaks, it will not affect your other tabs so you don't have to open everything up again.

The validity of benchmarks like that can be disputed, but I find it interesting.

 

Anyway, I initially went with Firefox for the customization, but now I stick with it because I feel they're worth supporting, compared to Google who are slipping ever further away from their "don't be evil" mantra.

I remember reading that IE actually is the most safest browser nowdays, and Chrome is the least secure.

I don't think Chromium has a lot of plugin support, though I could be completely wrong. But it is nice enough for google to build there browser and improve on it.

 

I use Chrome because my phone has chrome. I log in and have all my book marks, my history, and best of all my logins. I don't have to try and remember passwords for random sites I visit on my phone it all remembers that for me. I visit a page put it on my book marks on my phone and can come back later and view the same page on my desktop without having to remember how to get there.

 

Firefox I assume does mostly the same thing but I've been using Chrome for to long to switch.

Watch this

This is new and and from the results chrome is the most secure

That is the old verison of Opera, the new update improved a lot

This is a big reason I'm not going with google
