Google Chrome

Firefox uses a lot of memory.  The longer I use it, the more memory it uses, and the slower it gets.  I tried different methods suggested by various websites, but it is no use.  Those suggestions even messed up my Acrobat configuration that I had to reinstall Acrobat.

What are the alternatives?  How about I try Google Chrome.

I downloaded Google Chrome a few days ago and installed it.  When I ran it for the first time, it started to import my settings from Firefox.  When it was importing my searching settings, it just kept going and going.  I couldn’t even terminate the import process with the “Skip Import” button.  Needless to say, I immediately uninstalled it.  After googling around, it appeared that other people have the same problem.

Well, I decided to give it another try today, thinking that they probably have fixed the problem.  When I clicked the blue “Download Google Chrome” button, a window popped up, probably determining my system configuration or preparing for the install.  I don’t remember since everything happened so quickly.  What happened next was that I got the Windows blue screen and my computer automatically restarted!  I can’t believe this.  This is a product from Google.  I expect better from Google.

Now, do I dare to click the blue “Download Google Chrome” button again?
