![]() ![]() It made such a huge difference in speed and general responsiveness that I ended up sticking with Firefox. Is there like any reason to use Chrome on Ubuntu?Īnd please don’t give me ‘Netflix’, you can easily install the widevine DRM lib from a PPA.”ĭjb1034: “I was having the same experience as you a few months ago, and in a last ditch attempt before switching to Chrome, I tried out Firefox nightly. Like I get why on Windows because Windows in general does not come with a build environment out of the box and has no ‘distribution’ that does the compiling for you, and since google only releases source, not binaries for Chromium, Windows users have to go to the trouble of setting up a build environment and build it themselves, but here?

Why leave RAM for LibreOffice to work fast when you can instead make Google Docs seem fast? And even just in general, they don’t benefit from people using desktop applications, but they do have their ads+tracking on most internet services.” Throwaway: “I would even go as far as to say that they don’t assume that, but actually want it that way. Supposedly recent versions of Chrome are improving that, but I haven’t had enough time to make any conclusions.” I rest my case with chromeOS.”Įntanzed: “Yeah, I definitely see a difference in battery power consumption. The problem with chrome imo is that Google developers assume that chrome is the only application that you will ever need for everything and anything. ![]() Knvngy: “Chrome is faster but also a resource and battery hog.
