The Really Exciting News This Week -- Chrome
Election, shmelection — I won’t my Google Chrome browser for Mac OS X.
Not available yet, but soon. Also, Civ IV: Colonization will apparently be ported to the Mac, thank the lord.
I keep an absurd number of tabs open on my Firefox browser, and while Firefox is nowhere near as unstable as IE, I do experience frustrating crashes from time to time. I saw a fellow in the NR nerve center who was running Parallels on his Macbook, and he was running Chrome to my chagrin. I ought to do the same, but haven’t been able to bring myself to buy a Windows OS. The trouble is that I’d then play engrossing real-time strategy games, and I’d grow an enormously long beard and never be heard from again. Which, come to think of it, might actually be a good thing for the world.
Yup, Firefox can be a bit of a memory hog if you have a lot of tabs open. Even if you close them it doesn’t give the memory back up to the system. You either have to close Firefox and reopen it to free the memory up, or just have a machine with a ton of memory!
