#186658 — Google Chrome- ending of Linux support.

I see that Google plan to stop supporting support for Chrome on Linux, I 
believe 32 bit only initially.

Hopefully, this isn't a precursor to a total end of support of Chrome 
under Linux.

I appreciate that others prefer other browsers but the ending of any 
support for Linux is, in my view, not a good sign.

LOL, thats OK though, it served me as a reminder to update to the newest 
version of Chrome, which I just did.

I use Firefox myself. Though I do like how Chrome's tabs are each a
separate process. And Chrome does feel faster.

I use both though FF is my default.


Every once in a while, if I close FF it issues a crash report.

It has never crashed on me, but something in the shut down process 
apparently senses that the shut down was not normal.


I also have the Maxthon browser installed and only use it for websites 
that insist I use I.E. It seems to work in lieu.

I've never needed anything more than Firefox. But then again I know
people who have quite a few tabs open. They throw out numbers like 100
tabs or something. I don't do that. At most I have 4 or 5 tabs. I've
never needed 100 tabs or even 10 tabs opened at once. I barely every get
6 tabs at once.

One of my friends is barely computer friendly. Every so often he will claim 
that something doesn't work and I will have to attend. The problem is always 
trivial but I can see that he never closes emails or tabs. He is running 
Mageia 4 with FF and TB on a machine built by me about 7 or 8 years ago.
It works pretty well all things considered.

The "best" one for me was afriend of mine had set up a new email account 
and he called me for help as it was not working. After going through the 
whole thing with him on the phone and seeing nothing wrong...I finally 
went over to his house.


instead of using the "@" sign he at spelled out the word "at" .


He then told me " I guess that was a dumb mistake, wasn't it?"

What I typically see is that users fail to close apps. They just let
everything run all the time. The browser has so many tabs running and
they don't seem to get that. They just keep opening more and more. They
don't seem to notice that they have so many running that they can't even
see what they say. 

They leaves apps running too. If it is a Mac, they close the window, but
leave the app running. If a PC, they have a ton of apps in the task bar
and like the browser I can't even see what they are because they are
insanely running so many. 

They tend to shut the lid of their laptop and that's it. They operate on
their bed or otherwise use it in a manner in which the vents can't do
their job. And if anything doesn't work at all, they are absolutely
clueless. I mean seriously, deer in the headlights clueless. It doesn't
matter if it is Linux, Windows or a Mac. They are just clueless
regardless. They don't have the slightest idea what could be wrong. No
concept of RAM, storage, heat or anything else. I'm guessing this is
why tech support will tell people to reboot first. Likely because it
will shut down all the apps and re-start with a clean slate from which
to trouble-shoot. But now we have apps like Firefox that want to restore
the prior state. And the latest Apple OSX wants to restore the previous
application state, which I think it a bad idea. 

I'm not the tech at my work place but often the tech is not around. He
works from 2:00PM or 4:00PM and up where as I leave at 4:00PM. So often
if something happens someone will ask me cause they know I used to be a
tech years ago. I just hate helping these kinds of people. For some
reason they tend to like making apps full screen. So we have this huge
27" display and all you can see is EMAIL in 27". And on the left are
archives going back to biblical times. And then most of the screen is
the subject of the email. More than 50% of the entire screen shows just
the subjects. And then, finally on the right side, the email message
itself, with what looks like maybe 20% of the display. So it is this
slender window you have to scroll up and down on to read this narrow
view of email. If I change it they have a heart attack right there. They
want to work this way.

If someone sends them an attachment, they have no concept of saving it
and storing it somewhere that makes sense. Instead, if you ever ask for
that attachment, they will send me the whole email and an eml file with
the file I asked for as an attachment. And they have no idea what
constitutes a good subject, so forget about searching for emails using
common sense words because these users have no common sense. I'm
constantly blown away by how ridiculously stupid the work force is. 

Makes me want to go to my next interview and just tell the HR lady,
look, I'm normal. The rest of the people you likely hired are morons
that can't open a door without a sign that says, "push" so just hire me
cause I'll be the one of the 20% that actually do 80% of the work
instead of the 80% that collectively do 20% of the work.

Oh they'll love you - a real team player.

You've never had 10 tabs open at once?

g2s

Ps. Using Seamonkey, no matter how many tabs are open and the mail open
too I rarely see more than 350mb or so RAM use.

Why would I need more than 6? Right now I have one tab open.

Researching something, search query in one tabs and possible avenues for 
solutions in others. That said, I unfortunately know a number of folks 
that have never understood the concept of *bookmarks* and instead "save" 
locations in umpteen tabs and use session restore extensions to make 
them persistent!!!!

That's about the only time I have more than one tab open.  Well
that and reading web forums.

  Yep.  I do a search and any link I wish to follow is a right click and
"open in a new tab" selection, as I do not wish to lose the search
result nor backtrack to it each time.

I must admit that I'm a multi-tab offender in my browser.
  
I'm using Debian Sid and the 4.2.0-1-amd64 kernel with LXDE on a HP
Pavilion with:
----------
Processor	:4x Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4570 CPU @ 3.20GHz
Memory		: 8118MB (4065MB used)
Resolution	: 3360x1050 pixels
OpenGL Renderer	: GeForce GT 635/PCIe/SSE2
----------

I normally have upwards of a dozen tabs open and leave them that way
until I log out of my X session which may be a couple of weeks
sometimes.  I have a news conglomeration site, two social media sites,
a TV guide to movies on broadcast TV, an email site, two blogs which I
follow, my youtube history, my hotspot manager page and perhaps a few
news stories I plan to share with That Danged Wife.

I use Chromium.  It's been up for maybe a little over a week now.
I also have another iteration of Chromium with a youtube
movie paused, Claws-mail,  geeqie showing my camera's contents, GKrellM
(obviously), Cairo Dock and Cairo Clock, plank, a screen ruler,
midnight commander in a terminal emulator, and Rhythmbox open.

cybe@wizardstower:~$ free
     total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem: 8118220     3509296      994440    269588   3614484     4296928
Swap:16651260      267960    16383300

cybe@wizardstower:~$ uptime
 18:56:38 up 52 days, 23:52,  1 user,  load average: 1.57, 1.62, 1.55

Seems OK and everything is nice and snappy.  Once in a while I'll
stumble across a page that consumes my resources wildly.  I log out if
I can't close it and re-log in, then close the offending page before it
can load. All is then fine.

I would bet all your tabs are bookmarked.
