Chrome

[L P]

After many years of using Fire Fox I decided to put Chrome on my laptop. It has a clean install of 64 bit Windows 7 so it's not been cluttered up yet. However I only have a 2 Ghz single core Celeron processor with 4 GB ram.

I've noticed Chrome runs very fast most of the time but there are times that it seems to be bogged down. It also seems to be a resource hog.

Is the problem my processor or is it the browser?

Anyone have any opinions about the browser?

Lately Firefox has been eating up a lot of resources, RAM usage going into 500mbs and experiencing 'freezing' when loading new pages. doesn`t happen on the Chrome, so nothing bad to say about chrome. Up to Firefox 4.0, Chrome was just about the same, but when FF started updating it got ****tier and now Chrome wins out :p

My Chrome is behaving like Fire Fox does by using lots of RAM. FF got too cluttered and will wind up like Netscape.

it deppends on the sites you visit. some sites like facebook eat ALOT of ram due to javascript

That's a good point. Is there a browser that handles that stuff better or will it not make a difference?

N-W flies on Chrome and Fire Fox but like you said it's the Java.
