[dba-Tech] Enough of Chrome

Hi arthur,

I find that curious. I've been using chrome (and chromium when on linux) as my primary browser for at least 2-3 years and haven't ever really hit any of the issues you mentioned. I did have some weird bug happen once but they fixed it within a day and that was a while back in the early days. You may be having internet issues as Jim suggested, but I guess this might also happen as a result of their frequent rolling releases/patches (maybe something peculiar to your system setup?). What are they on now... Version 256? ;)

Well, I don't have problems, but I wouldn't be able to abandon it even if I did. Web kit inspector is such a valuable tool for debugging in web development.
