Surprisingly slow to load certain webpages

Comment by OmgItsTheSmartGuy about Google Chrome 14 days ago

I've recently noticed that Chrome loads large webpages much slower than Safari in Mac OS X. While the difference isn't large enough to notice in most day-to-day browsing, Chrome tends to stutter and lag out on my Hackintosh when it attempts to load extremely large pages, such as long Wikipedia articles or forum threads.

Meanwhile, Safari can load anything pretty much instantaneously. I love Chrome (and there's no chance that I'm giving up all of its extra features for Safari), but this discrepancy in loading times is rather puzzling to me.

The mobile version is a pleasure to use

Positive Comment by OmgItsTheSmartGuy about Google Chrome Jul 2012

Chrome for iPhone and iPad doesn't have a lot of extra features, unlike other 3rd-party browsers (e.g. Atomic Web Browser, Mercury Browser, iCab, etc...). However, Chrome is a real pleasure to use on my iPhone, which is more than can be said for the other browsers.

Very good but...

Comment by User6129169 about Google Chrome May 2012

It is great in term of speed and stability but questionable when it comes to privacy

Devtools are awesome

Positive Comment by Eostyx about Google Chrome Apr 2012

I can't believe how wicked Chrome devtools are. After putting it off because I was wholly anti-google in the respect of ad-head hunting. But in this world, you don't have enough time to worry about this crap. I use this as my main browser now. I do still have IE and Firefox if I need them.

This is a great browser. Try it.

Frequent crashing on Mac OS X

Comment by OmgItsTheSmartGuy about Google Chrome Aug 2011

On my Hackintosh, Google Chrome crashes every other day-- usually when I'm opening or saving files. It's kind of annoying, though not a deal-killer, since Chrome can restart and restore all of my tabs in like 3 seconds. Individual pages crash relatively frequently, too. Once again, not a deal-killer, but Google seriously has to work on the stability of Chrome on Mac OS X.

UPDATE (7/8/12): The problem resolved itself a few months ago. Chrome now runs great on my Hackintosh.

Not convinced

Comment by orblio about Google Chrome Firefox Jul 2011

Impressive speed, but interface needs much improvement to be at the same level of functionality and convenience like Firefox. Take away the hype, and Firefox is still miles ahead.

Faster, cleaner, more user-friendly than Firefox.

Faster, cleaner, more user-friendly than Firefox. Definitely the best-in-market browser nowadays!
