Good morning Yesterday I changed browser from Safari to Chrome. This is not a suck it and see temporary alternative. These are the bells of freedom type of change.
I have been an avid user of Safari for years and, on and off, tried Camino and Opera and Shiira and Flock and OmniWeb as well as Firefox. I started to feel frustrated with Safari a few months back, because of the drag on the CPU and other sluggishness. After each Safari update I thought this is the one that will free it up and give it the speed its purported to have. But it seems to get slower and command more processor power and RAM. So I gave Firefox another go for a couple of weeks and it seemed faster with less drag on the system, but its bloated with add-ons and other stuff. Then I gave Chrome another go, spent time setting it up nicely with some extensions and having a serious go at Google's offering as contender for my main browser. The longer I used Chrome the more I liked it. It seems to render pages faster than the other browsers and there is far less drag on the CPU. The interface is clean and stripped down, the add-ons sit in the tool bar and are less obtrusive than in Firefox. The spinning rainbow disc has not appeared in my browsing life since Chrome - it was a never ending fact of life with Safari. So, I managed to break away from the Safari habit and feel a sense of freedom with Google's Chrome. I wonder what WAMUG users have to say about browsers these days?
