@techdisk42 Dear Techdisk, why do I need all that fancy stuff? Love, Nerthos.

@fiercedeity If your horrible at keeping track of your tabs, like i am. instead of having multiple windows, its just one window.
Saturday, 04-Aug-12 17:23:43 UTC from web-
@techdisk42 I'm horrible at keeping few tabs, but I'm otherwise good.
Saturday, 04-Aug-12 17:24:51 UTC from web-
@fiercedeity trust me, if you start using it, you cant stop.
Saturday, 04-Aug-12 17:25:50 UTC from web-
@techdisk42 So it's like drugs? No, i don't want that. Also I don't touch Firefox since 3.6
Saturday, 04-Aug-12 17:26:20 UTC from web-
@fiercedeity it got a huge facelift with firefox 4, and its at 14.0.1. give it a shot.
Saturday, 04-Aug-12 17:27:51 UTC from web-
@techdisk42 Exaclty. They changed everything, and I liked Firefox for it's 3.5 interface. I don't like it anymore. And also I don't want to export all the history, favourites, tabs, cache, etc from chrome.

@fiercedeity also, if your hiding nsfw stuff, you can stick it all in a tab group and have it completely hidden. no visible tab, no visible taskbar button. just a little picture saying there is more than one group active.

@techdisk42 @fiercedeity Funfact: Chrome uses less memory than firefox. Chrome just uses more memory more tabs you have. While Firefox uses a lot of memory to begin with. Thus why I use chrome. I only use two tabs.
Saturday, 04-Aug-12 17:28:57 UTC from web-
@skullpony Chrome also pulls up a buttload of processes for no reason. :p
Saturday, 04-Aug-12 17:29:31 UTC from web -
@skullpony Funfact: Firefox is awesome anyway. when you have 6 GB of memory, i dont give a pegasus with memory.
Saturday, 04-Aug-12 17:29:50 UTC from web-
@techdisk42 That statement just sounded like a little kid. "Firefox is awesome anyway."
Saturday, 04-Aug-12 17:31:15 UTC from web-
@skullpony yeah, i know. ignore that.

@skullpony @redenchilada Chrome uses one process for each tab. So it's far more efficient for less tabs, and worse for lots of tabs. But that also has one advantage: if one freezes, the rest work just fine. Also I have far more memory that what I need.
Saturday, 04-Aug-12 17:30:43 UTC from web-
@fiercedeity Correction, it uses one process per site.
Saturday, 04-Aug-12 17:31:23 UTC from web-
@minti Oh well. I keep one tab per site, so it's practically the same for me.

@techdisk42 I have seven tab groups currently. Ponies, Gaming, nginx, PostgreSQL, Development, Unclassified, and the last is left as an exercise to the reader.

@toksyuryel "Clop"
Saturday, 04-Aug-12 17:23:48 UTC from web-
@redenchilada Too specific, but you're in the ballpark at least ☺

@techdisk42 Dear Techdisk. Steam Web browser is better.
Saturday, 04-Aug-12 17:23:11 UTC from web-
@skullpony I get the feeling this "steam web browser" is actually just another web browser that is either integrated into steam or being accessed from steam via api.
Saturday, 04-Aug-12 17:24:26 UTC from web-
@toksyuryel It's just a basic web browser that you can go on during playing games on Steam
Saturday, 04-Aug-12 17:25:30 UTC from web -
@toksyuryel It's actually not as far as I can tell. :/ I should look into it though.
Saturday, 04-Aug-12 17:25:41 UTC from web-
@minti @toksyuryel Apparently it's based on WebKit. Go figure.
Saturday, 04-Aug-12 17:26:27 UTC from web-
@minti Sooo it's webkit :D I was right~

@bitshift IT IS THE BEST.
Saturday, 04-Aug-12 17:34:07 UTC from web-
@skullpony The best at randomly crashing and bringing down the whole Steam overlay, sure.
Saturday, 04-Aug-12 17:36:03 UTC from web-
@bitshift I've never had that happen to me, the Steam browser is surprisingly well done for being a DX Overlay. xD
Saturday, 04-Aug-12 17:36:29 UTC from web -
@bitshift Hueheuhuehueheuhe, using the Steam browser for things other than the store and community tabs.
Saturday, 04-Aug-12 17:37:03 UTC from web-
@redenchilada I use it for keeping tabs (heh) on things while still having a fullscreen game open. But using it for here is bothersome because there's no way to add an auto-refresher.
Saturday, 04-Aug-12 17:38:45 UTC from web-
@bitshift I just keep my games windowed for that. Fullscreen games always make me nervous that I'm missing an important note, so I only use it for local multiplayer.
Saturday, 04-Aug-12 17:39:14 UTC from web-
@redenchilada Ah, so do I. However, I do maximize the Windows otherwise I don't feel immersed at all.
-
@omni I thought you hated Windows
Saturday, 04-Aug-12 17:41:32 UTC from web-
@redenchilada I accidentally wrote "windows" as "Windows" :(
-
@redenchilada You can hate something and still acknowledge that it's necessary. I dislike Windows, but I'm still willing to use it for games up until the point where most/all of my games will run on something free (as in cost - the other, "free as in freedom" is very nice but not absolutely essential), or forever if that never happens.
Saturday, 04-Aug-12 17:44:52 UTC from web-
@bitshift I just disregard everything that doesn't work on my platform.
Saturday, 04-Aug-12 17:45:41 UTC from web-
@toksyuryel @omni You people are chumps. :<
Saturday, 04-Aug-12 17:46:15 UTC from web-
@redenchilada I can't enjoy a game on an OS which papayases me off.
-
-
@toksyuryel And I respect your unwavering approach to the matter, but there are too many games I like which aren't on my preferred platform(s) for me to adopt that same approach.
Saturday, 04-Aug-12 17:47:46 UTC from web-
@bitshift Oh I'm not saying I don't like them. I just don't consider them important.

@omni I'm usually perfectly immersed even with other stuff visible around the game. Just gives me less reason to keep playing if I'm not enjoying myself.
Saturday, 04-Aug-12 17:42:20 UTC from web-
@redenchilada I hate seeing that, even a 10 pixel border below the window annoys me to no end.
