Now I know I have already made about 2 blogs already about Fire Fox and Chrome, and usually with me siding with FireFox.
Recently I had been getting pretty annoyed with some of the quirks that happen with FireFox and loading images, sometimes they would be slightly blurred and sometimes they would be extended by an extra row/column of pixels. Image examples below:
17264I got pretty annoyed seeing those strange anomalies so I decided to download chrome and see if they were there as well. Nope. And I was also happy to see that they got rid of that ugly blue bar at the top that my school computers seem to be cursed with (that or it's because they are winXP). So I decided to stick with it for a while and was pretty happy. Despite what Chrome is advertised for, I don't notice any significant difference in the load speed. But recently I have noticed that chrome has quirks of it's own :(And a huge problem that I am having is that some of the animated gifs are running slower. I think RamboFox's avatar is one of the cutest things I have ever seen, but in chrome he looks like he is slowly taking steps while making clear jumps from frame to frame. >:lMaybe some of these are just oddities that have to be dealt with by the web designer…FireFox had a lot more add-ons; I miss the simplicity of using chatzilla (although I'm finding mIRC pretty cool), though I was able to find a pretty useful eyedropper extension that does pretty much the equivalent of what my FireFox add-on did.For now I'm going to continue to use Chrome, and may switch back if I find too many annoyances.Also, Chrome lets me resize text boxes; pretty useful for typing blogs in 64Digits's small text box.Also also, notice that in chrome when you highlight from right to left it skips the character you started on? (on input text only) (It became a habit for me to highlight right to left to avoid the endline character)Also also also, I wuv you :3
on my netbook chrome loads in 1 second while firefox takes about 10 seconds so it matters in that department for me. i only use firefox whenever I need one of it's extensions. however chrome is now getting extensions and maybe one day i won't need firefox D:
I had no Idea there were speed differences with gifs in chrome. I just tested rambofox's avatar on firefox and saw the huge speed boost. Most gifs don't specify the delay speed for each frame in there animations so I didn't get any changes with mine.
Hooray, one less firefox user to worry about. If you look on the firefox bug list thingy, you'll see that they often ignore bugs for years just because nobody feels like working on it. Such as the copy paste bug which they have known about since 2001.
I dont have any problems with FF. Also you might have been zoomed in? I also like all my tools to develop web pages, which is the main reason I use it, and i like the bookmarks this way more than chrome's (personally).
Though I agree, firefox does feel bloated now. But I will never go back to IE, not that microsoft cares anyway, its free software. as long as it works. oh, and i use chrome for quick browsing.One of us! One of us!
I switched to Chrome from Firefox because I love the uncluttered interface.That's funny, I won't switch to chrome because I can't make the interface as simple/functional as FF's. I literally only have one bar, the status bar/tab bar, with the Vimperator input line popping up when I focus it. Until I can emulate something similar in Chrome, FF does the job, and does it well.
Are you sure those bugs are from Chrome and not from bad web development practices?
