I mean sure, it seems nice and snappy... But there's a reason behind it: http://www.howtogeek.com/124218/why-doe ... processes/
Yeah. Every freakin' little thing. Every app, every widget, every open tab - each it's own process.
This might be nice... if your machine has the horsepower for it. On an old budget-rate laptop like mine? The moment I start a media stream, it chugs - even if I set it to the lowest quality level.
The only reason why I'm bothering with Chrome right now is because I just started using Evernote as a means to gather all inspiration and ideas for my writing into one neat and tidy spot. The nice part is that it not only has a desktop application for Windows and OS X, but widgets for most web browsers, and apps of iOS and Android platforms. Which means I can use my nice new HTC Desire 510 to snaps some pics of something interesting, instantly uploading them as 'notes' with inline text, access them on my laptop at home, and further research online using their 'web snipper' tool.
Unfortunately, the web snipper for Chrome is far more refined than the one for Firefox, so this is what has pushed me to using Chrome now. But evidently, if I ever want to watch Youtube or Crunchyroll vids, I'm gonna have to shut down Chrome and switch to Firefox. *headesk*
