Google Chrome higher speeds

[mikkelz_za]

Naw, have tried it last night. Its fast but suddenly i see what a lot of crap adblock block. Ill keep my firefox thanks until the same plugins is available for chrome.

I totally agree. So in the mean time, I'm using Chromifox Basic for Firefox.

In the past month I've found Chrome useful for sites where I've previously only been able to use IE6.

I've just migrated to Opera 10, which seems a lot faster. (I've also started using Windows 7, which appears much faster on my Laptop than Vista ever was)

I was a big lover of Chrome back in the day when I was on DSL, but since changing over to 3G and cutting back on some bandwidth, because of AdBlock+ on FF Chrome is no longer my default browser at the moment.

Chrome is great for real estate value and speed, but will make the change once they have an adblocker going.

But that would hurt their business right?

FF uses a technique they call link prefetching to load pages faster, the problem is it's a waste of bandwidth. I had a whole thread about this last month, look here there's a setting to stop it doing this.

BTW Chrome has a technique called DNS prefetching, which doesn't waste bandwidth.

FF + adblock/NoScript + prefetching off + bigger cache should be your lowest bandwidth usage.

was about to ask if they got addblock yet.. guess I'll stick to FF then.

http://www.adsweep.org/ adblocker extension for chrome.

To enable extensions in chrome you have to start it up with the --enable-extensions flag and then just download the *.crx to install.

If you want to uninstall it, just visit chrome://extensions/

Chrome makes Gmail enormously faster.

i have found chrome to be rather slow... well the v2 and thought ok maybe i was just being different the other day when i switched back from chrome to mozilla but then i realised why i had done it in the firstplace, cause chrome is bloody slow, its like a ouma trying to carry all her groceries( no offence intended) but i cannot wait for something to load for 30secs, it must load and get finished with, and also show me its doing something rather than stand there and look pretty...
