Re: I tried.... -- PCTECH

I am in Gmail all day every day both at home and at work in FF. I
don't ever crash. Do you have any add-on installed? Sometimes it
seems that Gmail uses too much CPU on my old home laptop, and I close
it down for a short time while doing something else CPU intensive.
But it has been at least 60 days since the last crash.

You should give Chrome a try. One neat feature that I really like is you
can drag a tab into a new window. Especialy nice with dual monitors. The
other think I like about Chrome is that it is very clean. Pretty much
a minimalist approach to browsing. Kind of like an iPod Shuffle vs an
iTouch.
The two main sites I use are gmail and then the designer for my eCommerce
site (Still tweaking, but it is up and ready and capable of taking orders:

crashes it hourly (or more). MSIE or Chrome dont ever crash it. Also seems
to be associated with the number of open windows and tabs.

But a few sites don't work with Chrome. So I tried Firefox. Is it better
than MSIE? Probably equal. But, it is one of the most unstable
applications I've used in a long time!

Wow. I use Firefox constantly -- I probably use it more than 16 hours a
day. I can't even remember the last time it crashed. Do you really
have a lot of problems with it crashing???

MSIE -- it works, but it's interface is awkward, and it has major
security problems. I use it when I absolutely must, which is rare.

I've used Opera, and it's nice -- from a usability standpoint, I'd say
it's equal to FF. But it has more problems with site compatibility than
FF does, so I don't use it.

Safari is okay, too... My feelings about it are pretty close to my
feelings about Opera. It has more compatibility issues than FF, so why
use it?

I haven't tried Chrome.
