Guess what? This is my first blog post written on Chrome. Looks pretty much the same, doesn’t it?
We’ll see how it goes. Firefox generally works fine, but I finally got tired of the performance problems. Too many sites these days seem to have scripts or code that freewheel forever, sucking up so many CPU cycles that they bring the entire browser to a screeching halt. The Wall Street Journal is especially bad on this front, but plenty of other sites do it too. Chrome seems to be a bit better on this score, so I’m giving it a try.
Sadly, AdBlock doesn’t seem to work as well as it does on Firefox, so I have to put up with more ads than I used to. But maybe that will improve.
Got any advice for me? Leave it in comments. I’m thinking about getting a new email client too that has a better search capability than Thunderbird. Feel free to offer recommendations.
UPDATE: Well, that was a short-lived experiment. Turns out that our blogging software doesn’t play well with Chrome, and I don’t feel like keeping two browsers open all the time, so it’s back to Firefox. Sic transit etc.
