What does everyone think of this update? Since the update it's made the font smaller in the address bar and my extension bar icons are smaller/harder to read. I hear this is all for the new "Material Theme" but I really don't care for it. Makes me strain my eyes just to see important information. I want the old font/icon sizes back. I know there is a way to change it manually in the hidden browser settings, but I hope they push another update to fix or change it back officially.

Don't use chrome, its a resource hog, I have better things to do with my resources. Find a better browser.

For example below you see my old opera browser with 24 tabs open using 1 process and 400,448K memory while chrome with 24 tabs open using whopping 24 processes and 2,054,376K of memory. Basically chrome is running 24 apps at the same time:




chrome is using 5x more resources to do the same job. lol Its using 2GB of ram

I use Firefox also, but would never use chrome, I didn't buy ram for google, I bought ram for my system to use for my apps and games, a browser should never be over 1GB of ram and that is if you left it open for more then a day with a bunch of tabs open.
