Chrome and other web browsers

Z has been trying to make me switch to Chrome…I have to admit that it’s simple and fast…but not rendering my site as well as I’d like.

I started doing Acid3 Tests (http://acid3.acidtests.org/) at work, on my work browsers including:

Firefox 3.6.3: 94/100
Safari 3.2.3: 75/100
Opera 10.01: 100/100
Internet Explorer 8.0.6001.18702: 13/100….before crashing my IE >_< Stupid IE Chrome 5.0.375.70: 100/100 I DO notice Firefox is pretty slow in general...but I love/need it for: FireFTP FireBug (because developing on IE8 and using the IE Developer Tool sucks) I'm pretty surprised/impressed that Chrome and Opera are both 100/100. Firefox comes close and IE...IE is terribad as always. I DO use a tab on IE for listening to the radio as well as watch youtube videos. Firefox always just seems to lag the videos if I have too many tabs open or if the program has been open too long. I guess it needs to do a memory dump.

Maybe…I’ll use Firefox for FireFTP and FireBug and use Chrome to browse…I don’t know.

On my site TO DO list: Cross browser testing. So boring, bah!
