Firefox 33 Just Dropped
-
I finally took a look at Chrome earlier this year, but in general I prefer FF. I love Tree Style Tabs and can't seem to find something similar for Chrome. Also the plug-in for LastPass works better in FF than Chrome.
And lastly, for the past month or so Chrome has been super buggy, crashes and slow.

I hear people talking about this but I haven't experienced this...

Yeah, it's been killing me. Several crashes every day.

And not sure what you mean by the LastPass working better on FF than Chrome. I've used it on both and haven't really seen one outperform the other. Can you provide examples?

What version are you on?

@thanksaj 64bit.

It's bad enough that I have gone back to using Explorer as my second browser. FireFox and Explorer are working better than Chrome is for me on my Windows 8.1 PC. However on my MacBook Chrome is working fine. Is Chrome on the Mac the same as on IOS (running Safari in the background)?

Ah, see. I'm still on the x86 version, AFAIK. I did have issues with the x64 version, so I went back to the x86 version and the issues went away.
-
I rolled back and still have the same issues. Which is why I did the upgrade to begin with.
-
I'm running X86 Chrome.
As for LastPass, the interface on FF is much nicer, it's a pop out window, not a tab. Also, in FF, the fields fill in consistantly, on Chrome, often times I much choose autofill, etc to get my username/passwords to fill in.

No, Chrome is Chrome everywhere except for on iOS.

Oh, you know I never really thought about it but you are right, Chrome just can't remember usernames and passwords well.

Hmm. I'll admit the auto-fill isn't perfect in Chrome but it's never been enough to bother me. shrugs Idk what to tell you.
-
FF is much better at the autofill stuff than anything else.
-
So why is Chrome stable on my MacBook then and not my windows desktop I wonder?

Use LastPass with FF for a while, you'll grow to dislike it's implementation on Chrome.

I don't remember seeing issues in the IA32 version. I need to fall back and see if it changes things.

OS hooks, perhaps.

64-bit applications still seem to have constant stability issues, from what I've seen. Even though we're in a 64-bit world, most of what the applications we use are still 32-bit programs.

Most? That seems unlikely. Windows is the only platform that really has any at all. And very little that I use, at least, is 32bit.
