I'm a CS student (Computer Science). and yeah I think it's lighter and faster than FF

lighter as in size on disk - maybe. but not faster. and its very high on my system resources.

I hear chrome is supposed to be faster because each tab is treated as a new windows , uses more cpu etc etc . But it was slow and buggy for me

[nerdybook]

hm, right.

memory and number of used extensions influences Chrome's speed substantially.

Without extensions and with enough memory Chrome is much faster than Firefox

Firefox is actually getting faster again since they fixed a number of things not too long ago to improve the speed, and Chrome is slowing down it seems

yup every tab has its own process
and it crashes a lot

um, everyone have their own opinions. use whatever you want as long as you are happy.

It's not an opinion, you can time it..

The problem is that you can never test it on ALL possible confighurations...

[nerdybook]

reality?

[Templeton]

If Chrome is slower on your computer than Firefox that says very little about whether or not is actually IS faster/slower, just on your computer maybe.

Saying X is faster/slower than Y is pretty useless, you have to supply tunder what conditions..
