is chrome going downhill?

is google chrome going downhill since a few months in comparison of firefox catching back or it just me?

Seems fine to me, when ever I use Firefox it seems slow to load in comparison

@quebec946: Try the 64bit version of it.

I never saw the appeal of Chrome, lots of webpages I use still don't work properly with it.

Besides, Firefox now is just as fast and more secure (ie, not Google taking data)

Chrome makes my computer lag and takes up way more ram than any browser. I also believe it is going downhill

Been using firefox for years and don't see a reason to leave.

Yeah, always used Firefox. Only used Chrome a little bit when they had the exclusive 60 fps YouTube vids. Now Firefox supports that. No need for Chrome.

Switched to Firefox after reading the Chrome privacy policy. I was surprised how much I liked it. Have been with Firefox for a while now without any regrets.

I've never had it been better than FF on any of my systems. It isnt bad, its just not as lightweight and modular as FF. Moving tabs around is slightly easier on chrome though. My work software requires all three major browsers to be used, and chrome is always the biggest eater of ram, and IE is the slowest.

Feels fine for me, it has always been a bit buggy. However the speed difference is too nice, so I use it instead of Firefox.

Opera is also another choice since it's based on chromium.

I always felt a better speed with Chrome compared to IE. I never looked back, but never used Firefox.

@quebec946: I agree, switched back to Firefox a few months ago.

I'm back to Firefox for the last few months after they finally slimmed their beast of a browser down. Come to think of it Chrome really did seem slower after I switched back to FF.

Used Chrome for years, yes yes yes it's RAM intensive but what is the point of having 8GB or 16GB of RAM if only 2GB is actually used? And if you're using high amounts of RAM then you're not browsing the web.

I uninstalled FF ages ago, might give it a blast and see how it compares but Chrome is fine to me even at work on crappy PCs with 2GB of RAM, works much better than IE.

At my last job most of us utilized Firefox, but there were a couple of small programs some of us ran that would cause only conflicts and crashes with Firefox so we stopped use it and Chrome became the main browser for us. We were asked to IE since the webpages for our company were designed to make use of IE9/10 and were going to be upgraded for IE11 when it launched....but IE was so slow compared to other browsers.

I just got used to using Chrome now and I haven't seen a reason to move away from it.....except I greatly dislike the new bookmark GUI they implemented a little while ago, it's gaudy and annoying to navigate.

It's why I can't wait for the release of W10 because it means all the IE users both professional and non professional will switch to Spartan/Edge. It is a whole lot heck faster than IE.

Some people on NVidia forums complaining that the drivers keep crashing chrome on the 900 series cards.

^^disable hardware acceleration

Chrome is the best and fastest browser there is period.

Chrome's been working fine for me. Compared to Firefox, it's *so* much faster loading up a dozen tabs at once. And unlike Firefox, I've never gotten intermittent crashing once (which causes me to switch to Chrome in the first place). It also has a few nifty features that I'd miss on Firefox too.

That's funny, I've actually been switching back to Chrome this week on both my home and office computers, after about a year and a half of hiatus. I had been using IE11 ever since Windows 8.1 came out and thought it was great. Well, until the last IE update (11.0.20) made half the images blank on various websites. I couldn't find a solution so I went back to Chrome, signed in, and was happy to find all my bookmarks and settings intact.

I'm curious about Edge, the new browser that Microsoft is shipping with Windows 10. I'll definitely want to test it out and see how it is.

I'm still Chroming... went back Firefox couple times, don't like it anymore. maybe I didn't give it enough.

I gave up with Chrome awhile back, something happened I can't fully recall that put me off it.

Chrome is still way more stable for me, I used to only use Firefox, but chrome is faster and more stable IMO.

I don't know... I wish I could grouping of tabs done in Chrome or Firefox as easily as I did in Opera.

Chrome crashes too much. I have switched to firefox and it rarely crashes.

I'm considering giving Chrome a try.

Firefox has been annoying me lately. It regularly pops up the failed to close and crash bug report dialogue when I close the window or after I try to open a new instance. Also when I'm using private browsing it will open a new tab as if it isn't and the new tab will not scroll. Tried clean installing it, same issue, only add-ons I'm using are FlashBlock and NoScript.

installed the 64 bit firefox ! i missed the sync option when i was using fox ... its here now going back to fox this is really nice :)

After toying with Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 Technical Preview, it matches, if not better than Chrome

I only stopped using Chrome because of GlitchSpot. It worked fine for every other bit of my Internet needs. I get the feeling at the root of it is a smug staff member who despises Chrome, sabotaging it's fuctionality to drive people to switch OS.
