  1. Chrome is fantastic in something like this..And the funny thing is that today I define chrome as the main browser after 8 years of using mozilla… Although it bothers me that when chrome opens, 5 processes open and it takes up more memory, of course this it probably makes it a lot faster… I also had a glitch that mozilla is safer in terms of browsing etc… Anyway if anyone can enlighten me on the subject of the above processes I would appreciate it;)

    • chrome is also secure, it has a sandbox and google has enough money to keep it safe. Personally I continue to use firefox with 50 tabs open. Of course, firefox with such use also has performance problems due to memory overload.
      We highly recommend chrome to those who need it for simple browsing. Firefox, in addition to browser is also a tool for web developers
