Let me say something first of all, I am a big fan and user of Mozilla Firefox! But, I don’t know what’s going on with it. It’s eating up so much memory on my computer. It sometimes take up to 1GB of it and then I have to restart the browser to clear up the memory. I have a lot of extensions turned, but even without it, it will still take a bunch of memory.
The difference with Google Chrome is that it handles memory more efficiently. Each tab has it’s own process like a separate program. It takes up more memory at first, but the longer you use the browser the memory will not add up like it does with Firefox. When a window or a tab gets closed, that process gets cleared from memory. So, you would never have to restart Chrome to clear up memory.
The one thing I don’t like about using Chrome is that there is no support for mouse gestures. I can’t use a browser without it, I don’t know how I manage to live without it for so long. I searched online for a method to hack Chrome for it to support it, no dice. But, I did read about a method that people managed to get it to work.
They did it by using a program called StokeIt. It’s a program that will add custom mouse gestures to any windows program. I Imported a custom configuration to it, but that didn’t work. So, I had to figure out everything myself. And the result? SUCCESS! I program the gestures to be similiar to “Mouse Gestures Redox” extension for Firefox. It should mostly have the same functions.
1. Download and install StrokeIt
2. Download and import custom configuration for Google Chrome
Here are some new commands:
Down-Left – Open Chrome Task Manager
/Down (Diagonal Top Right to Bottom Left) – Open Incognito in New Window
/Up (Diagonal Bottom Left to Top Right) – Reset Zoom to Normal
Try it out and let me know how it works.
