Google chrome review

September 18, 2008

Speed comparison

  1. Slower than firefox3
  2. Slower than ie8
  3. Equivalent to safari
  4. Can’t be compared to opera

Performance

  1. Opens up with a lot of memory hog.
  2. Takes a lot of time for warm up.
  3. window doesn’t have GUI menu for newbies.
  4. Worthless bookmarking tool.
  5. No extensions.

Most common noted glitches/bugs

  1. Multiple tapping of the left mouse click over back button might crash the entire browser window.
  2. while opening a new tab, the window often freezes for some seconds.
  3. The standard tab/menu bar is absent, and the view space is awkwardly bigger than other standard browsers making it a compromise for space and also causing less maneuverability and hence often crashes due to multiple commands.

Google chrome is still under beta testing and the version is available for downloading prior to user satisfaction.
The window would look like this

Addition to this review is pending as the google chrome version is still under beta testing


Optimize firefox browser, speed up web browsing.

April 3, 2008

Windows can’t be better than Mac but
when it comes to having software diversity Mac gets a loose character with all
the glitches and moreover web browsers created on the platform change the basic
appearance of the websites! safari is not a good one here! Every system on the
net endorses firefox which eats more memory than a mini os quota

while randomizing my tour I came across the super memory hungry firefox using my
pc’s 56,576k. almost multitasking banned for firefox users!

Optimize firefox

save your bookmarks first! transfer them
to an extra file in the hard drive.

Using profile management

1. Run
” C:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/firefox.exe”-P
(specify your own respective installation path)

2. Create new profile but do not modify the existing default profile

3. restart firefox and first of all reboot the cache as firefox is really a cunning fox at showing you the same saved page again
and again even if you reinstall the default profile.

4. check if the speed has improved or not and if not switch back the useless
changes. and do fresh reinstall.
