.. faster than FF and uses less memory ...
How do you disable the new Touch Optimized interface? It's awful
That is what i see on my PC this morning. It's not only the main Menu that is affected but also Bookmarks within folders and Right-Click context menus too.
There is an option in chrome://flags but it doesn't seem to do anything:
Edit: Found a solution:
Go to the properties of your chrome shortcut and at the end of the target line add a space then --disable-new-menu-style
I like Chrome as a browser because it's faster than FF and uses less memory and has 1 process per tab, but I hate all the cloud BS. Last I tried it, it wanted me to sign in to Google account just so I can use bookmarks. I uninstalled it.
Yeah it really blows to have all of your bookmarks span multiple devices.....
I did a test on that. I opened five tabs in FF and Chrome (same tabs). Adding all the processes showed Chrome using almost double the memory of FF.
Leave em running for a few days though. FF starts to use multiple GB's of memory if left open for a while. Unless they fixed that, have not really noticed in a while since I have 12GB of ram now. When I had 3.5GB of ram I'd start to get memory errors if I left it open too long.

Wrong.
I left my firefox open for months with no issues.
Right, cause you need SO many resources/threads to run a freakin browser.

Linus Upson, vice president of Engineering at Google, and Alex Komoroske, product manager on the Open Web Platform team, told us that the costs of sharing code now outweighed the advantages.
By that they mean having the same codebase for two separate projects was becoming difficult. Webkit is LGPL, so "Blink" should be open-source too.
Chromium or Iron is so much better without Googles crap built into it, yet apart from that is the same, dunno why you guys use Chrome.
and Iron is just Chromium but with ads thrown in. Don't know why you'd recommend that.
can't imagine why it would be recommended over Chrome:hmm:

Furthermore, the "URL tracking" mentioned both on IRC and on the Iron website refers to the GoogleURLTracker class. This unforutnately-named class figures out whether to use google.com or google.es for searches from the URL bar, and does not in any way do any sort of spyware URL monitoring. This is obvious to anyone who can read code, and should be obvious to anyone technical enough to produce a product like Iron. At this point I can't believe they're doing anything other than being intentionally misleading.
Well, I was referring to having it as an option at all if Chromium is available.
Well I...well I...well I.....OMG are you bored? wtf, people will use any excuse to find something to argue about. I wasn't comparing it to Chromium idiot, i was comparing it to Chrome, actually i was originally comparing it and Chromium to Chrome. Just use Chromium then duh.
