Faster than FireFox3

Thats why i am using it :)

I don't care about URL highlighting or Improved search

@Riki: I am sorry to tell you that statistics prove you wrong!

Rikitatsu5712d ago

I didn't not based my judgment on statistics like some people like you do (Even though statistics favors Chrome)

I just simply tried both of them, Chrome is faster even without the AdblockPlus Add-on

Google Chrome's infrastructure and goal in mind gives it potential to be greatly faster than firefox, albeit using more memory and processing power.

Baka-akaB5712d ago

More memory ? yes and no i'd say .

indeed it takes more initial memory , however unlike firefox 3 , it remains stable and doesnt go up .

I like firefox's interface , but it drives me to wall that it still hasnt fixed with it's 3rd version the main flaw imo : that damn memory leak .

For someone like me who enjoy keeping a huge amount of opened tabs , launch the browser with the same huge amount of tabs opening , it's a problem . Try having 350 mo of tabs+cache with firefox in memory , and let it on all night .. most likely by the morning it would have gone up to 500-600 mo .

My chrome cache in the beginning is heavier , but in the long haul remains the same , thus smaller .

Also any browser with its own personal taskbar and detailled infos on each tabs bandwith and memory usage , is a good friend of mine .

Chrome got some kinks to iron out , and a few missing interfaces features , but its shaping up really good , and already a good runner up for firefox imo .

The main reason why Firefox is the best. AdBlock.

PopEmUp5712d ago

adblock come to chrome I think it's safe to used CHROME as your standard browser, and FIREFOX is your backup plan

Close_Second5712d ago

...and I'm hooked. It loads faster, it browses faster. Its simple and sleek.

To be honest, its still just a web browser and at the end of the day it comes down to personal preference. Some will stay with IE, others with Firefox, etc. Use the one you like and live with it. Its not like its a major life changing event.

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
