Chris Moss Acid Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 I love chrome, but i feel this is going to the way of firefox. great and fast when its just the browser.. start adding extentions, its gonna slow shit down, and slow browsers arnt an option for me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nfi5UCx6vTw&feature=player_embedded the iris picture viewer looks neat, but i'd imagine it's a CPU eater! thoughts?

Guest iamabe Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 I use dozens of extensions for chrome in OSX and Win7 and chrome still boots as fast as it did the day I installed it. :) Never tried IRIS though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenGOD Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 I had the cool iris viewer for firefox installed for a while, but hardly ever used it. Didn't find it to be a drain on the system really. But yes, extensions will slow down the load time of the browser. I also hope that google thought to include the option to turn off autoupdate.

oscillik Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 best thing about extensions - you can choose to use them or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Enter a new display name Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 You don't have to install extensions if you really want to reduce your CPU/RAM consumption, you know. The only Chrome extensions that slowed down browsing speed on my computer were Ad blockers, so I avoid them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenGOD Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 lol yeah I have 6 firefox add-ons. none of which are huge strains on the system resources. Interesting that the adblockers slowed down chrome noticeably for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nene multiple assgasms Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 well, adblockers in chrome can't actually keep the ads from loading like in firefox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubbhasdance Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 well, adblockers in chrome can't actually keep the ads from loading like in firefox. Says who? It's true. It doesn't keep them from loading, it just blocks them. EDIT: 1300th post yeah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenGOD Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 well, adblockers in chrome can't actually keep the ads from loading like in firefox. because then google would lose revenue...lol but yeah that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azatoth Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 best thing about extensions - you can choose to use them or not this. why install a shitload of extensions that you marginally might have a need for. is it because the need of new shiny things?
