browser experimentation

Google Chrome, for the most part, has my undying loyalty (especially now that I've discovered that Chrome does INDEED have an AdBlock app), but sometimes I feel drawn to experiment. I've been having some issues with Chrome browsing Facebook lately, and decided to see if Safari would hold up any better. The answer is yes, as it turns out.

It's not a long-term solution, though (and in any case I suspect the Facebook/Chrome issue is because Facebook is going through a transitory period in its coding), because Safari doesn't run so well on the usual Internet I have to deal with at home - dial-up. Chrome runs well, no matter what crappy Internet I'm using.

I'm trying really hard to like Safari as a browser to use on faster Internet, but, Safari, you're makin' it hard for me. I keep having weird, tiny issues, like the whole thing freezing up for twenty seconds or so when I'm entering information to log in to various accounts, especially passwords.

I'm probably going to search for new updates (that I can't/don't usually bother to install because of dial-up) and see if that makes a difference, but I'm not optimistic.
