    Tried to switch from Firefox to Chrome, but can't

    thats how i pile tabs up too. not bookmark worthy, but worth a read. after switching to chrome and using OneTab, i got accustomed to forcing myself to close tabs. after a few days back on firefox, the habit caught on and right now i only have 7 tabs open, instead of my average 90+ it used to be.

    Tried to switch from Firefox to Chrome, but can't

    yeah it happens on random machines. doesnt seem like there's a pattern on config/software/hardware or anything. i can get it to happen on pandora, youtube, or anything that uses flash on that pc. its the combo of flash/chrome, it doesnt happen on firefox. from what ive read it's a GUI...

    actually the machine that locks up has 12 gigs of ram. it's an i7 machine running win7 64bit. my work laptop doesnt have the issue and neither does my 4 year old macbook pro. makes me sad. ive tried all the "fixes" and workarounds people have tried to no avail. the issue only happens to a...

    Well, I had to switch back to Firefox. On top of purple link syncing not available, it intermittently locks up one of my PCs. It's a chrome/flash issue, and it's been reported years ago with no fix yet. http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=138678

    Tried to switch from Firefox to Chrome, but can't

    Well I'm pretty much settled into Chrome now. It's definitely much quicker. The only feature I miss from FF is purple link syncing. I opened a ticket with Chrome and hopefully they'll implement it one day. https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=237155

    Tried to switch from Firefox to Chrome, but can't

    I saw this youtube stutter issue last night when I was moving all my tabs from firefox to chrome at home. youtube was stuttering on FF, meanwhile when i moved the tab to chrome, it was fine. it doesnt seem like a hardware related video problem, and im always on the latest geforce drivers/adobe...

    Tried to switch from Firefox to Chrome, but can't

    I've finally been able to switch with the arrival of http://www.one-tab.com/ Quick question for Chrome vets. When I clicked on a bookmark in my bookmark bar in Firefox while I have a pinned tab in focus (like gmail), it will automatically open in a new tab and not attempt to go to that...

    Tried to switch from Firefox to Chrome, but can't

    when u right click on the tab bar in chrome, then task manager, then stats for nerds on the bottom left, it shows the amount of memory each browser is running. for example, i have firefox running at 974k right now (65 tabs), IE 9 with 1 tab at 35k and chrome with 1 tab at 158k chrome may still...

    Tried to switch from Firefox to Chrome, but can't

    ^ This is why I use tabs. ^ This is what happens to me as well Question to you sir, do you use Chrome? If so, do you have any suggestions on how to keep it from using so much memory? If like you're saying it's not a defect and using 2gb of memory is acceptable, is there an extension that...

    Tried to switch from Firefox to Chrome, but can't

    I'm one of those users who have 30-60 tabs open, and sync tabs/bookmarks/etc across multiple PCs and Macs. This is the reason why I've been stuck with FF, since doing so is seamless. I do hate how youtube stutters sometimes on FF and wanted to switch to a "lighter/faster" browser so I gave...

    Went from BMW to Subaru

    Trust me, I've considered a 335i before I bought my 540i 3 years ago (Alpine White of course!). They're awesome cars, and yeah probably a lot nicer than a WRX. Just curious though, where did you get the figure of a 10k difference? I configured a 335xi with Nav, Satellite radio, Ipod...

    Went from BMW to Subaru

    She's the one who wanted the Sentra, LOL... It has more tech than her 540. BT, NAV, Backup Cam, Ipod. Even the speakers in that econobox are better. It can't hold a candle to the 540s performance though.
