Goodbye Firefox. Hello, Chrome~



So I officially switched to Google Chrome.  For those of you that do not know what Chrome is, it is a web browser developed by Google.  Sadly, I have to say goodbye to Firefox, and you may wonder why.  Here is why.
Ever since I started using Firefox, I never looked back to Internet Explorer.  Most people out there can testify that Firefox is a lot better than Internet Explorer, and it is indeed.  Firefox was stable, used less resources, and tabs inside the browser was definitely more attractive.  Of course that Microsoft, the multi-billion copying company, also added the "tabs" feature in the Internet Explorer later.  Well...great job on the copying, but its not going to save your crappy reputation.  I've been using Firefox for at least 5 years now, and quite happy with it until recently.  Modzilla constantly updates Firefox, mostly good updates, such as bugs fixes or new and useful features.  However, one down side with updating the software is that then the program itself takes up more and more space, both storage wise and RAM wise.  My main problem is that Firefox, from time to time, takes up so much of my CPU and RAM, and my computer becomes bascially "un-runable".  And I am clearly not alone in this, just Google the problem: "Firefox takes up too much memory" and you will see.  So I got so fed up one day, I decided to switch to Chrome.  So far, it has been over 2 days, and I do not miss Firefox one bit.  

Bottom Line: Most of the time, if not all the time, software developers make newer and newer versions of the same product, but end up screwing it up for some reason.  Here is a good site for you to use the slightly older version if you are not completely satisfied with the newer ones.  And trust me, just because you call the toll-free number, the company ain't doing jack about it.  Who wants to admit that their creation sucks?
