What's going on when Chrome (and now Webkit Opera) say a page is unresponsive. The idea that my cursor doesn't change when I hover over links makes me mad, dammit, just because I haven't been by for a week.

I keep a lot of windows open in a lot of browsers--Safari slows down my whole system, which is clearly a bummer, but I still use Classic Opera for fic-reading which means 30 odd windows open, and it's always responsive. Chrome, what are you really trying to tell me when I can't click "Buffista Home" the next morning?

I don't know what the "page is unresponsive" message means, but I get it pretty much every morning at work opening up google (for gmail access). So if their own page is unresponsive on the regular...I don't even know.

And that's on first starting up Chrome, no other windows open.

Huh. So it's not a Chrome resource problem. Do you have a lot of other apps open, maybe sucking memory? Or are using a bunch of bandwidth.

I am still beyond pissed that Opera went the Webkit way. The old version is so much faster than Chrome with 10 times as many pages open. And the last time I checked New Opera, they still hadn't implemented fucking bookmarks.

Am I a fuddy duddy for using them? I find them invaluable. They have a Speed Dial when you open a new window you're presented with 12 or so sites you chose to click on (Safari, I think, does it by recency by default, which I've had to clean up for fear of embarrassment). Opera's solution was to migrate bookmarks to Speed Dial, but when I tried it had the gall to ask "That many???"

YES. Because I can't remember that many URLs or even site names to google them again, you idiot. Short of exporting them to a web page somehow and storing it locally where I can open it quickly on New Opera--doesn't solve the problem of acquiring new locations.

Usually I have nothing else open at that time - the first thing I do is open Chrome and gmail is my home page. It's all through Citrix, so, I don't know, maybe that has something to do with it bandwidth-wise.

Used to have that problem a lot on my XP machine. On Windows 7, no problem. Don't know what is making the difference, since I suspect y'all are not on XP.

I have had it on OS X 10.8 (Still scared of Maverick) and my dearly departed Win 7 work machine. I don't bother with Chrome on my home Win 8 box.

I have no idea what OS I'm using at work.

And now, when I switch pages on Chrome, it's showing me the content of a closed window (the lisah recommended job application--it could be worse). But I have FOUR tabs open. It isn't one of them.

My (very casual) guess on Chrome. They have made it into an OS. So running as browser in other OS the tendency will be towards garbage. They put enough effort to prevent that in Win8 and Win7 to keep it a major player. But they don't put the effort they should in any other OS whether obsolete like XP or just non-Windows, like the various Apple OS. So why do I use it? Well not going to use Explorer, and Firefox, after working well for a week, starting crashing again in Windows 7. So Chrome it is.

Does anyone have a recommended way to download videos off You Tube?
