google chrome - not ready for primetime
Jul. 25th, 2010 03:00 pmSo, Firefox has been extra-wonky lately, so I've been using Google Chrome for a couple of days.
There are some features I like about it -- but, dang, it's got a major resource problem. Some sites, especially those which involve lots of refreshes -- cause major memory leakage, to the point where the browser window has to be closed every few hours just to keep the machine from running out of RAM.
ETA. It also seems to choke on AJAX, which I would be more annoyed about if more websites used AJAX for good instead of evil (I'm looking at you, HuffingtonPost). This makes Facebook unusable, BTW. A browser that can't handle Facebook doesn't have much of a future.
