Opinion: well, its bounce, I go back to Firefox

Recently we came across a cry of the soul of man by the name of Eric Leimer. He, like many other users OS X, have long been forced to face the same problem. The problem, called Google Chrome.
Remember the time when we all switched to Chrome?
Chrome was an easy, simple and pretty darn fast. If went online with a brand new computer. Now Chrome - a congested, slow and constantly falling browser. I have reached the extreme point.
For a while I tried to dissuade themselves from the transition, and Chrome is getting worse and worse. The problem has been known and talked about it for years. Back in 2011, Google was looking for ways to reduce the browser size of the distribution, although, of course, the installer size - nothing compared with the problem of memory usage. You just open the Activity Monitor and see this:
Add here as the most frequent falls Chrome, and Flash Player. Hovering, half a dozen tabs that open themselves when running through accumulated over the years the use of extensions.
I've tried
optimize all these months. Set Flashblock, disabled Hangouts and other things, but getting worse. I just can not longer.I know that things are bad, but the decisive factor was the situation when I had to check whether a bug on the site specific only for Chrome (and I would not be surprised if it were true).
I ran Safari and was just amazed. Everything was so fast !!!
So why is Firefox, but not Safari?
Basically for the same reason why at the time I did not switched to Opera or something like that. When only released Chrome, Firefox was not the fastest and easiest. In fact when he was one of the most congested, but now it has the best performance, rather than the Chrome, and offers a set of features that until recently kept me Chrome.
Firefox has a huge library extensions, Which has all the most desired of the present in Chrome. Firefox can even work with the Oculus Rift. But the most important thing is that Firefox is faster and more reliable Chrome.
The migration was simple and easy. After the transfer, history, and settings from Chrome when installing Firefox you feel as if you moved into a new house and all your belongings are already placed in places. I had to spend a little time searching for some extensions and change the default search engine. For some reason I did not want to load mail Gmail, until I cleaned the cache. But with all of this migration was painless. Much easier than I thought. Why do I have so long delayed this moment?
Firefox, my old faithful friend, I did not even realize how I've missed you.
If you are tired of falling, szhiraniya memory performance problems, congestion, go. Just go. You've probably already thought of this, and this post can help you decide.
The problem described above is not actually invented. The Internet is full of complaints about Chrome, but with time the situation is not improving, but on the contrary, things get even worse.
The problem is, by the way, is relevant to users Windows. Your obedient servant, sometimes sees light friezes and Chrome freezes on a powerful gaming PC.
