And she's a really fast and sexy young lady!

Using her right now, loving it! <8)

So who else updated to it?

I had the betas and RC's for a while but went back to 3.6 until today.

Pros:
Faster
Cleaner
Better extension integration
Tab Grouping
HTML5 support
Combined stop/reload button

Cons:
Crashes my video driver when using GPU acceleration. Driver is up to date but I plan on getting a new GPU soon anyway so I'm hoping that fixes it.
Not all my add ons work right away but that's to be expected.

Lol, will do.

Check this out.

***GTAce*** · 03-23-2011, 01:48 AM

That's because we are both equally awesome.

I've been using the beta for a while. I'm glad with the performance improvements and all my extensions but one worked. However, I disabled the compatibility check and now I can use the one I was missing anyway :-P

do i need to download it if i already have the nightly build? Is it 64bit supported?

**Segitz** · 03-23-2011, 06:39 AM

I will stick with Chromium dev channel release.

Jean-Claude-Van-DAYUM FireFox 4 runs fine!
Loving everything about it. Fast, slick, even the annoying Windows pop-ups are replaced by slick custom ones!

I hear the new chrome beta is lighting fast.

***GTAce*** · 03-23-2011, 11:49 PM

And I hear a high-pitched noise in my left ear when it's quiet.

Don't think you need to download it if you do nightlies and it's still 32 bit. They've been working on 64 bit for forever and they do have a build you can try but I don't know how up to date it is.

***D3adcell*** · 03-24-2011, 04:00 AM

I am liking it!

**Nova** · 03-24-2011, 04:34 PM

This shit gives me DNS errors that I don't get on Chrome.

***Viper*** · 03-24-2011, 05:05 PM

Do you use a 3rd party DNS application like OpenDNS?

Yesterday (3/23) Mozilla released Firefox 4, which is fast. Then Google had to rain on their parade and release Google Chrome v11 Beta.
http://www.google.com/intl/en/landing/chrome/beta/

Website load up instantly and this thing just feels very snappy and fast.

During my unofficial test, I opened www.foodnetwork.com (a retardedly resource intensive site)
Chrome v10 - ~13 sec load time
Chrome V11 - ~1.6 sec load time

just sayin....

No difference, I'm afraid. It's bizarre.

Dusty, I get a 9.3 second load to completion time on that web page with FF 4. But I'm also already running a dozen tabs and a few instances of FF 4 and have had them open for hours. I'll retest later with a fresh instance.

Nova, paste some of the errors you are getting.

**Raitei** · 03-25-2011, 11:45 AM

Don't really know, FF4 is nice, definitely, just some annoying niggles, I'm just too used to chrome to switch, epeciallly seeing as there's not a huge amount from FF that i'd want in chrome (tab groups look nice though)
