Perhaps this is not the best title to use, but I'm running 12.04, which I always update. I'm not sure if it is just my impression, but is Chrome really buggy? I generally use the latest updated version. That's my browser of choice, but it seems to drain my resources and I resorted to Firefox instead.

Any information/comments?

  • This is a question answer site, not a discussion forum. I would recommend using the ubuntu forums for this. There you can even access tools like polls to see if others see similar issues as yourself.

This is the kind of question more applicable to fora - you'll be getting a lot of radical posts :) Anyway, I find Chrome slightly buggy, and in general that Firefox works much better than Chrome on Ubuntu, even speed-wise. And it is completely open-source, updates very often (next three versions all coming this year with loads of new features), and has all the add-ons you could possibly need. I myself was a Chrome-fan till a few months back, and, well, I'm not turning back. If you like Chrome's looks (like me), you can get all of them by using the right themes (Chrome-FX) and add-ons. You can even get downloads to open in a new tab, put downloads in the status bar, anything. It is also much more customizable, even if you don't use the about:config page.

One more thing I notice is that, on Ubuntu (but not Windows), having many add-ons slows Chrome down, but not Firefox.
