Nothing surprising here, the best browser is absolutely crushing the competition right now...

I honestly lost it laughing when I saw that

It’s pretty funny seeing big-shot Microsoft (TM) actually suggesting that something else might be better than their own software

Mark my words, we definitely need to remember this date😁

I'm not totally sold on it yet. I mean, if I didn't have Opera, maybe I would... and if it handled opening multiple tabs within the same window better, I’d probably make the switch. πŸ™‚

But seriously, which browser out there isn't just some cheap imitation or a glorified shell of Internet Explorer? Nothing actually beats IE.

Honestly, Chrome handles tabs perfectly fineβ€”just like Opera does, if not even better... :confused:

Even they finally realized Internet Explorer is full of holes.

Tsk tsk tsk... oh man, driftingnomad68, you have no idea what you're missing.

You've bitten the Opera bug and there's no turning back now... such a shame, especially since Chrome totally crushes Opera. 😒

I honestly recommend grabbing the "Tab Browser" extension...

It’s a game changer... you can customize just about everything you can imagine regarding your tabs...

The link is http://white.sakura.ne.jp/~piro/xul/...nsions.html.en

If you want to install it right away, just click HERE (217 KB)
Once it's installed, restart Chrome, go to Tools -> Extensions, find the settings for Tab Browser, and tweak it however you like...πŸ™‚

Man, what a headache. Now that I've finally gotten used to Opera, switching to something else feels like a chore, doesn't it? 😒 😁 😁

Ugh, what is going on with this thing? I'm trying to install Chrome and the image keeps "flickering" or jumping around like crazy πŸ™„ πŸ™„

Is it just me, or am I losing my mind here?

I'm loving Mozilla, Opera is ancient history for me now.
Just one question though, what actually is Mozilla 1.7?

It says it's a browser, but is there any real difference compared to Chrome?

Chrome is basically just a lighter version of Mozilla, though I’m actually running both Opera and Mozilla right now.

I ended up ditching Chrome because my screen kept flickering 😁, but only inside the window itselfβ€”everything else stayed perfectly steady.

Pretty weird. I got rid of Opera for the same reasonβ€”screen flickering.

That extension for extra tabs is actually incredible, though. The speed at which windows pop up is insane. I have certain pages I use to test load speeds, and with this extension, it hit record numbers.

Legit cool. Props to whoever suggested it.
