Strange, Chrome does not work no my main machine. It always hangs.

I think that probably Google tries to collect information, which is then intercepted by one of the anti-virus programs or Spybot, which are all running in the background.

I have now replaced Chrome with Safari.

What a shame for Google!


Here are the reasons that I use several browsers:

(1) Each of the browsers will open on a different screen. So I use them depending on which screen is available.
(2) Firefox is my standard browser, works pretty well.
(3) Opera has a huge number of websites preloaded for convenience, just takes a little bit longer to open. For Firefox there is an add-on which does the same thing, but it is more convenient with Opera as it is in-built.
(4) Safari will now popup on my left screen.

Recently I have run into trouble with Chrome too. Out of the blue it started to use 100% of both cores.

I have uninstalled and re-installed it just now. Seems to be ok so far.

IE is out of question due to the latest security hole. It has a nice feature though: I often copy text from websites into OneNote and IE is the only browser properly recognizing the language of the text.

Firefox seems to have problems with Twitter: It cannot properly display my timeline.

Thank you for your answer, but I do not even know how to find out which add-ons are installed. Firefox shows me easily the add-ons, while Chrome does not show anything. When I try to download new add-ons, I get something which looks like a fun fair for adolescents, including a Chinese Shopping Assistant. This is really commercial overkill.


Please see the difference:

(1) Firefox




(2) Chrome




But I do not know which media players etc. are installed and cannot deactivate them.


If you type this in I think it's what your looking for: chrome://plugins/

Even after reinstallation Chrome hangs all the time, I don't use it anymore.

Funny thing is I just started using chrome just in the last couple weeks and been noticing the same thing but I just hit the home button and it loads and works fine after that.

That being said, in the interest in having something that functions as it should I reinstalled Firefox again and will see if that works better for me now....it was crashing my computer for some reason and I deleted it, maybe I had some corrupted file or something, appears to be functioning correctly at the moment.

Firefox did not work correctly with all versions of the FlashPlayer...
