Hello there you sexy forum ;)

 

im about done fed up with google chrome, its just not what it used to be. I can't think of any specifics right now, but i want a new browser.

i dunno if a mainstream one like Firefox will meet my requierments, but i just want to have varied opinions.

 

Things im looking for:

-easy on system resources

-i dont care about plugin support

-thats about it

 

thank you, and have a wonderful day :D

I used chrome for years, before it had strange issues and it got a lot slower even on fresh installs

 

I use maxthon and really like it

I'd say edge too, I'm currently using it as my daily browser and it's fine and fast. Only thing missing are plugins

For users with a weak PC maybe

Its just a a more optimized and lightweight version of chrome with some different styles and more data compression

 

The reason chrome is so much better is because it actually uses the ram you have to speed up page loading by caching all the pages you have previously accessed

it also uses all 8 CPU cores and has hardware acceleration that also uses your GPU

Chrome is the best for someone who doesnt want to compromise their browsing experience because "not enough ram" or "it uses too many resources"

 

Plus the chrome flat theme looks awesome, there are tons of plugins and themes, and no more crappy java either

I have to say Firefox and Chrome are the best. If you don't like Chrome then use Firefox. I personally use both for different reasons. The absolute best selling point for Firefox is the Bluhell Firewall add-on. It is hands down the best ad/malicious website blocker. It also speeds up your web browsing.

Getting old is wonderful, when you consider the alternative.
