However, among that sea of windows to the World Wide Web are some genuine stand-out candidates. Sadly, more choice can mean more confusion, making the decision of what to switch to far harder than the decision to switch at all. Where once there were just a handful of mega powers in the ‘browseosphere’ there’s now more choice than a hipster brewery. The Browser Wars of yesteryear are well and truly over. I need to get with the times a little and sow my wild bookmarks. Time that I gave up on Chrome and found myself a new portal to the internet. Worse still, I can’t shake the feeling that the Googleplex has some suit-wearing corporate overlord salivating like Pavlov’s dog every time I click a link or strike enter at the end of a search query.Īnd so, I think it’s time. I’m not sure what half of Chrome’s seemingly every-other-day updates even do, but I know it’s not making anything faster - and they’ve yet to add the toggle switch for “Simulate the thermals of a nuclear control rod when running more than 5 tabs” option to the chrome://flags/ page, instead, Google seemingly presumes that’s a feature I want on by default. Gremlin doppelgangers of my once beloved browser spring up in abundance to take part in some Hungry, Hungry Hippos battle royale to see who can be crowned king of gobbling up the most RAM and bringing my machine to a juddering halt the fastest. There, Chrome processes multiply and spread like I’ve failed to adhere to any rule in the “How to properly care for your Google Mogwai” handbook. If you’ve ever dared to crack open the task manager while Chrome chutters along then you know exactly what I’m talking about.
