Chrome set to knock Firefox to 3rd place

gaffyh4589d ago

Chrome is my favourite browser now, it had a few teething problems earlier on, but now it is almost perfect imo. Just needs more (and better) plugin support, but I can make do with just having adblock.

Yea the plugin market is the biggest thing. have you been having issues with adblock though? I realized my system froze a couple times last night because of a faulty filter in ABP... Disabled it till they update easylist.

Vames4589d ago

You should use the other adblock because ABP load adverts before blocking them.

Speed-Racer4589d ago

Well the thing is, it's a bit selfish if you hide ads all together. As a webmaster yourself, you know that less ads means less revenue to support your site. Sure you blog with your heart, but that doesn't pay the server bills. So ABP does help you get some revenue from CPM ads, but still hides it from users. It's not the most justifiable thing, but I guess it suffices.

Maybe you can change the filter in the options?

firefox has gotton away from being bloaty and chrome is heading in that direction

DeFFeR4589d ago

I don't need lifehacker to perform tests when I can compare them myself...

For what I do, chrome works - give me a link that proves that it doesn't work perfectly for me.

I will never understand this argument (nor the console argument...) about market share... if you like it, use it. If you DON'T like it, find something better.

(P.S. - these browsers are FREE...)

Never really liked firefox TBH. It had way too much on it and I absolutely hated the download system where it opens up a new window. Chrome is much better for me...

that's one of the reasons why I like chrome more than the other browsers, the downloads open in another tab not in a separate window and the cookie clearance thing is so fast in chrome. Don't care bout the rankings as long as it's got everything I need.

But you can drag it into a separate window. I like that just in case I accidentally close the main widnow.

You can actually do this with Firefox as well, it's an option in the preferences. I'm using Firefox 6, but it's not a new feature.
