Integration with flash

People bought into the meme that Chrome was the fastest browser and IE was slow as shit. Now it's literally the opposite yet people still cling to Chrome.

>>62002199
because google constantly asks you to use chrome if you use a non-chrome browser on any of their services.

>>62002260
This.

Google advertises it on google.com and Firefox was going through a rough transition period where they had to wean everyone off legacy extensions in order to move to a more modern code base. This is literally the reason Google made Chrome in the first place, because rewriting/upgrading Firefox was considered too hard / not worth it at the time.

>>62002281
>People bought into the meme that Chrome was the fastest browser and IE was slow as shit. Now it's literally the opposite yet people still cling to Chrome.
Is it? Is Edge actually fast or is it fast, because they, yet again, don't follow the spec?

A few years ago Chrome undoubtedly had the fastest JS engine.

>>62002281
Edge is honestly OK for most things now. It just needs weebum/VP8 support and a bit more compliance with web standards and I could see maining it on my Windows install.

>>62002223
Exactly this.

I still don't understand how Microsoft got pwned by the eurocucks for including IE in their fucking OS but they didn't care about Google using their dominant position to monopolize the browser market.

>search something using the most popular search engine
>try chrome, a faster browser! pops up every time

Gee, I wonder why?

Also, it's hard to imagine now, but once upon a time Google was thought of very differently by people in a position to influence these sorts of things. Development of other browser had stagnated a little bit as well, with Firefox being awfully bloated at the time.

>>62002303
firefox is just broken in its core.

>>62002306
Edge is fast because is pretty much the only browser on Windows that can into hardware acceleration.

google chrome was really better than others around 2007-2008 when it took off. it started and loaded pages much faster than firefox or IE. it also was less bloated and occupied less UI space than the other browsers.

It's really not. FF57 is significantly faster than Chrome for rendering large pages, and once NoScript gets ported (this is almost done, should be done by the time FF57.0 releases as stable) it will be far and away more secure than Chrome too. uBlock Origin + Violentmonkey + Stylus + Dev Edition dark theme gets me everything else I need.

Chrome 60 eats up 2.2GB just to display 10 pages.
Firefox uses 400MB.

>>62002199

Still use Firefox over chrome because downsampled images in Chrome are blurred to fuck (any image in general is as well).

everytime i switch back to firefox i get asscancer because of the way it handels extentions.
>extention is not compatible with your version of firefox
even way before web extensions.

>>62002558
What's fucking hilarious is that this problem used to go the other way around, about ten years ago. Firefox used a downsampling algorithm that lead to jaggie filled output and either Chrome or IE used a different one.

>>62002533
downloadmoreram.com

>>62002628
That's because the XUL/XPCOM extensions hook directly into the full source of the running browser, so any source level change had the potential to break extensions. It's an inevitable artifact of full source access plus a fast release cycle. Again, this is what moving to webextensions is all about fixing, and why Chrome used webextensions from day one.

It's advertised by google and it meets all of the standards for being a browser of choice for an average person. Then there's this opinion :
>hurr durr BOTNET
.. so ? Does it change anything ? Why should an average person care about google having their browsing information ?

FF seems to be buggy and not good enough for modern web to me and it also is slower compared to chrome (at least in my experience), meanwhile Edge is a work in progress but it looks promising.

Hail botnets for now, I guess.

People tend to dismiss its because Google advertised it. It's true that part of its success is attributable to it being heavily advertised, but the big reason why it's so successful is because it's actually really, really good. Its interface was super clean and simple and lead to a new paradigm in browser UI development, it wasn't bogged down by extraneous features that most people didn't want, and it was fast as fuck. Basically it was exactly the kind of browser that people wanted to do the job of surfing websites.

By developing V8, the best/fastest javascript engine.

By making the best rendering engine too.

By supporting the most web standards of all browsers. Basically almost everything works on it, no matter how old or new.

By making a self-updating browser, which made sure everyone who installed it has the latest version, and so increasing the quality of the web.

Chrome still looks like ass though and it's a botnet.

I remember when Chrome first came out, I used Firefox on XP at the time. Chrome felt a million times faster at rendering pages, even on an Athlon 3500+, though I stuck with Firefox for a while until Firefox 4 fucked things up for a while

If Opera 12 didn't break webpages with the ancient javascript engine I'd go back to it immediately.
I read somewhere that they leaked the presto source code some time back, I honestly hope something comes out of it. All of the other browsers suck. Firefox has always been garbage, Chrome is a joke, Edge is IE with skins and safari is for faggots.

Webkit/blink is objectively the worst rendering engine due to having infinite bajillion forks, all with different standards support. You can't even use feature detection because some will return (true) even when given feature is not actually working. Or working as expected.

For me, it was all about it being multiprocess. At the time, many sites still used Flash, and Flash often crashed my whole browser. Multiprocess also meant being able to pinpoint what page is spinning on the CPU, which is a big deal.

Now that Firefox is claiming to have gone multiprocess, I'm strongly considering returning if only for Vimperator being better than Vimium. The problem perhaps being pic related.

>>62002199
It's the most polished, scales, and has the fastest UI response across tabs. Try running 50-100+ tabs at once in firefox and ask why chrome is the most dominant. Yes, it uses a lot of memory and process threads which is why it feels so fast. Corelets and memlets need not apply.

There was also some benchmarks that showed chrome was faster. But those benchmarks were run without adblock plus installed. With adblock installed, you know, like every single fucking chrome fanboi ran it in those days, chrome was slower than firefox. Noticeably so on a slow computer. But chrome fags were so suggestible they would continue to swear chrome was obviously much faster.
Shit like that, and the fact that firefox still werks just fine on my machine and chrome is closed botnet google shit, makes me kind of dislike chrome to the point where it would be my last option. Plus the fact it's butt ugly and got a generally retardedl layout.

What else do you want on your browser? Browsers are for viewing web pages, anything else is just plain ricing

at this point it's all pointless unless you're one of the top 1000 online security experts in the world or something

It's all being stored somewhere no matter what, but no actual human will ever look at it because nobody gives a fuck about you. Just don't be a dumbass and incriminate yourself by posting embarrassing or illegal shit on social media where people you know IRL will see it.

Maybe they're trying to tell you something. Like, "Just close this one dude. You don't need this many open tabs anyway."

>what is ctrl+tab

But don't people make technology? Even if not, people are certainly the only ones using it.

when I get that many tabs open I just use the "bookmark all tabs" feature then close them all so I can see what the hell I'm looking at and I still have all of them available in a more organized way

also get gud with your clicking, no reason that should be a frequent problem unless you have Parkinsons

by nagging every visitor to the single most used page on the entire internet to install it

by putting it in drive-by malware installers on e.g. CNET

What are you talking about? Why is everyone making excuses for this obvious huge flaw? Weird the way chome has no tab management addons and every is just like oh just change the way you operate and give up them luxuries, what a bunch of pussies.

pussies, I am good with my clicking and know to tip toe around. Firefox has ten times betters choices when it comes to tabs.
You are both misunderstanding the problem but seems you're happy being cucked and making gay excuses, ffs what has the world come to
Stop being a bitch and ask them for options.

I don't know why you would have more than 20 tabs open on any browser though, it will obviously make the whole browser run slower no matter what

It's so much easier to just save them to a bookmark folder when your tabs get out of control. They're all still there and just a click away, it's so much better than looking at a laggy clusterfuck.

I have plenty of ram and have multiple windows open, say one has /g/ threads, even using tab scissors to split it into 2 windows. One may have /tv/ threads open before everything 404s especially useful on 4chan of all places to open stuff beforehand because stuff disappears fast sometimes.
I use another browser to watch loads of youtubes. So that's 2 browsers multiple tabs and windows.
No lag.
I only have an i5 4690k & 24gb of ram so it's a modest setup, it's going to be the ram that's an issue most of the time really tho.

Recently I've been using even more tabs because I've been comparing desks and chairs to order. Finally done that though.
Waiting on them arriving today :^) cool

If Voltaire, or Nietzsche, or Marx, Plato, etc. were born in modern times, what would they think of Google? What would they think of consumers?

The botnet is real.

All organizations are more than the sum of their parts, a corporation is an entity unto itself, a superorganism. Traditionally, this has been bounded by the actual parts, the humans themselves that work for the company. With Google, it's unbounded -- the parts are software, the parts are automated, and the parts think for themselves, and make decisions that affect human lives -- this is a mostly automated machine that interacts with billions of human minds, constantly, shaping their view of the world. Google is so omnipresent that it's now a filter on reality itself -- the eyes see what Google wants them to see, and read what Google wants them to read.

Does anyone feel good about this anymore?

>how did a browser made by the world's largest advertising company and the world's dominant source of information get used by so many people?

If you shake your head around you might knock some braincells together

Every time you use gmail (the most used web mail client), google search (the most used search engine), or youtube (the most popular video player on the web), they shilled that piece of shit browser at you.
