Supadorf is a mod too now? Supa, I thought you were inactive on these forums?

JadElClemens · Before February 2015

He was relatively inactive, iirc. Besides, we weren't picked based on how active we were (although people that were totally inactive obviously wouldn't have been good choices).

All you nubs who say Chrome are just scared of the POWER of Opera. Too many options for you to handle I guess. Chrome doesn't even have an advanced config page.

Tried both, both ugly. Maxthon works especially slow on my computer, and Opera [along with FX] is too blocky.

Different55 · Before February 2015

Opera? Blocky? What are you smoking? Even if you did screw something up so bad that it's blocky all you need to do is download a new skin. Just click Download, wait a few seconds, and your new skin will have installed itself without a restart or anything.

Tako · Before February 2015

Well, convince the majority here - I personally enjoy the speed and simplicity of Chrome while you may enjoy the flexibility of Opera.

And if I may, you might be interested in this or this study if you're interested in speed tests.

Wow, it's rare that we agree. Chrome actually isn't my first choice, but it's probably my second; it may be basic, but it's very fast.

Tako: In none of those tests has Opera been tweaked. Chrome doesn't even have the ability to be easily tweaked. And if you want UI simplicity you can remove/reorganize buttons until they fit your taste. I took out the address bar and moved it to the status bar along with the rest of the buttons I use. I moved the red Opera button, too. They all shrunk themselves, but they're all still completely usable. I have a lot more space, and I used attractive dividers to separate types of buttons in the status bar. It's all tiny and simple.

Like I said, Opera is clearly much more flexible than Chrome. And a big part in judging is judging from initial looks, not looks after you mess with it.

I agree that maxthon seems slow, but the reason for this is the way it loads pages - it won't often give you the incomplete page, it waits until it has all of the page (or a substantial amount) before rendering it. You may or may not like it, but it's no slower than any other browser.

Jaybm · Before February 2015

Chrome is fast, but doesn't work very well on my mac book pro. It has typing problems or something, and makes my laptop get really hot when having more than one tab open. Like right now its so hot its burning my leg, wait... why am i on chrome? *switches to safari*

I've never used maxthon before. Opera is nice, i guess. It works well, never had any problems with it really.

supadorf24 · Before February 2015

I use a MacBook Pro and Chrome. No problems here.

Maybe its just my computer or something. Its kinda old. Plus i have not updated it in like a year.

It's mainly a keyboard problem while using chrome. I will type something like: ?Hello?. Then it comes up on the screen as: ?Hlo?. It lag types or something. Its weird because I dont have this problem on safari, just on chrome. Im going to try updating it tomorrow and see if that works. Any idea on how to fix it?

Oops im getting off-topic.

Question: Which would you rather have? A nearly perfect brick that is just like every other of it's kind, or an imperfect ball of clay that can be molded into whatever the perfect thing you need?

Why is judging based on out-of-the-box performance? Judging should be based on a browser's peak performance. With chrome, you're limited. The speed can never be improved. With opera, there are hundreds of settings to be tweaked to increase speed.

The brick, because I'm not good at moulding things :[

Ratburntro44 · Before February 2015

^Me too. When you're getting something from someone else, it should come already as good as it should be. I should not be expected to take the time to mould the clay into a better brick (which in my opinion it still doesn't become) but should instead simply use the brick (a much more efficient use of my time).

That's why I use Safari. Not to mention Opera is still a bit behind in CSS3 support.

Chrome ftw

Echo! · Before February 2015

I want a chromthon browser, that would be good.

I think there's a certain word you're describing the 'tweaks' to be: sacrificial. I doubt there are hundred different add-ons that improve speed, only things that can be removed; however useless they may be.

Instead of stripping the crap, Chrome gives you its best while maintaining efficiency, and you can add on from there.

Different55 · Before February 2015

Why sacrifice? A simple tweak that works for everyone is increasing the speed is changing Max Connections Total higher than it is. It doesn't remove anything, it just speeds things up. *looks through opera:config some more* This setting would be useful, but would need a few minutes to tune it right. Same with this one. The first controls how long until the HTML starts rendering, the second is for styles.

There is no stripping of crap here.

Tako · Before February 2015

Interesting: Opera has its defaults set at average efficiency. Why not the best efficiency?

Different55 · Before February 2015

Because not every computer is the same, and the people using them aren't the same either. See those last two settings? The best is different between computers and preferences. I might like to watch my pages load bit by bit, but my computer can't handle redrawing that many times for some pages, so it's set to 150 instead of the default 200. My favorite vs least lag.

Tako · Before February 2015

Alright.

Do you deny that Chrome is faster than Opera (even with add-ons)?
