Once upon a time, Google Chrome was atop the internet browser food chain with its simplistic design, easy-access to Google Search, and customizable layout. By contrast, it was lightyears ahead than Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, which had a separate address bar and Bing (yes, that’s still a thing) search bar.

In 2020, most browsers have adapted. Google Chrome has mainly kept themselves on top of the food chain, they basically invented auto-search in the address bar. Besides that, Mozilla Firefox’s layout is way cleaner, Safari sells itself as Apple proprietary software with a massive emphasis on security and privacy, even Opera’s take on what a browser should be is worth trying out. Microsoft’s newest browser Edge, which replaced the hated Internet Explorer, is even far more successful and I even use it on my PC.

I’ll use anything besides Google Chrome. And here are my reasons why.

The RAM Chrome uses is insane.

Chrome is a memory beast. Unless your PC has 8GB of RAM or hopefully a solid processor, it will hate Chrome. I’ve seen games that don’t use the RAM Chrome does.
