Exactly! That's why I thought it was pointless. The average user couldn't care less about GPU accelerated graphics because really, how often does one utilize them in a web browser?
HTML5, the new standard, REALLY requires GPU Accelerated Graphics. GPU is good for flash ads, youtube, pages with alot of gifs, and HTML5 has alot of movement and smoothness to it that is almost impossible to view without acceleration.

My PC has an AMD64 3000+ clocked at 2Ghz.

But now browsing is possible again thanks to my Nvidia Geforce 8400 + firefox 4


I just used standard Google chrome without GPU acceleration to view a 1080p video on youtube. It was flawless, and not choppy at all. Of course, you can get into the technical details, but really, who cares? The average user wants something that "just works", so they obviously don't care if firefox runs some random demo faster or slower than chrome. Sure, the demo ran like crap (20 fps), but that didn't affect the performance of the HD video at all.

Although you have a point with HTML5, it isn't mainstream yet. All the browsers are changing rapidly to support HTML5 as best as they can, so we can't really say which one handles HTML5 better.

OK. NO BROWSER IS THE BEST.

Chrome= Speed
Firefox= Addons

Ok. I'm quoting you because your avatar is amazing.
Oh, and because what you say is the truth.

Thank you. Finally, some sanity over here.

I use the Chrome.
Firefox is just way too customizable for my needs, I just want it simple and cool. Chrome leaves a big screen open, with tabs together with the window and the down part gone.
Chrome has some simple extensions that I only need, like the typical AdBlock.

True. I don't need a gazillion apps for everyday use. Plus there's a lot of space especially when you go in Full-Screen mode. That said, there is no best browser.

It's just your own preference that won't matter to everyone else in the world

I don't know if it's just me, but the Cubefield on the right in your sig doesn't kill me when I crash into the blocks.

Its a hacked version and anyway maxlwin536, this isnt the place for flash games.

Well I use Chrome because Firefox takes up too much space on the top... other than that they're kind of the same for me.

:/ ...
Simple solution for keeping FF clean (3.6)
1: Get this damn skin
2: Restart FF
3: Hit F11
4: Right-click Toolbar
5: Uncheck "Hide Toolbars"
6: ??????
7: PROFIT!

One thing Chrome can't do is linking to Google Bookmark.

If Chrome can synch with Google Bookmark I'll ditch Firefox right away (Firefox has GMark).

Chrome syncs bookmarks, extensions, themes, and browser preferences. It's all tied to your Google account.

Unless you are talking about something completely different?

I'm talking about Google Bookmark, online bookmark. I tried it before, it doesn't synch.

Don't know about Google Chrome because I used it only once, but didn't like it...

I like Firefox for it's add-on feature and because it supports many skins.

P.S. (for the below browser users)
Don't know if Chrome, Opera, IE..... has the above features because I didn't use them for very long, so don't "attack" me saying it isn't true!

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
