Why aren't you using Iridium or Ungoogled-Chromium (or any other Chromium-based browser), Sup Forums?? Why are you still stuck with a browser that has 12% marketshare?
>Chrome now reloads pages 28% faster
>Typically, when you reload a page (and that’s a feature even the earliest browsers had), the browser ends up making hundreds of network requests just to see if the images and other resources it cached the first time you went to a site are still valid.
>As Google engineer Takashi Toyoshima notes in today’s announcement, users typically reload pages because they either look broken or because the content looks like it should have been updated (think old-school live blogs). He argues that when browser developers first added this feature, it was mostly because broken pages were common. Today, users mostly reload pages because the content of a site seems stale.
>To overcome this issue, the team simplified Chrome’s reload behavior and it now only validates the main resource. Facebook, just like other pages, says its pages now reload 28 percent faster, too, so the next time you want to check if your friends finally posted new pictures of their cute corgis to Facebook (and you are using the web app instead of the native FB app), you’ll now get the answer faster.

retard, what do you think you browser does when you're shitposting on Sup Forums and wasting your youth on arguing with other retards? Yes, it does a shitton of resource reloading as you're looking for that perfect thread to shitpost to.
Colton Gomez
it still downloads binary blobs you fucking Google shill
Ian Brown
Iridium and Ungoogled don't download shit.
Camden Cook
What I really want is to add the current version of the page to the back stack before reloading. So if I reload an article to see if it's been updated, and find that it's been deleted or redacted instead, I could press back to see the version my browser had cached.
Ian Young
So what about fucking unstoppable DRM and flash updates?
Hudson Perry
i'll consider moving to chromium once it has; - a scrollable tab bar - tabs that load upon view after starting the browser
until then, it's unusable
Jacob Cruz
>tabs that load upon view after starting the browser Has that already
Julian Young
>prefetching
Sad!
Zachary Peterson
Iridium/Chromium/Ungoogled don't come with DRM nor do they come with flash. They only come with a chromium PDF viewer plugin. that's it. pic related.
Noah Stewart
i'll have a look
what about a scrollable tab bar? or more specifically, tabs that have a minimum width and will go off-screen, rather than just bunching together until they're no longer recognizable
Sebastian Barnes
>what about a scrollable tab bar? Nope
Evan Morris
i know for a fact i'm not the only one who has a problem with this i wonder if it's really that hard to make a patch for this
I like user control and privacy over 28% increase speed.
Evan Wood
Fuck yes! Make browser history worthwhile again! At the moment it's little more than a list of urls you can open again, why not cache the last few webpages in RAM.
But I guess muh javascript makes it too difficult :(
As to the OP, might as well be titled "Google abolishes true reload function of Chrome" because that's what this is
Justin Murphy
>I like user control and privacy So you use Firefox from 2012?
Adam Allen
I'll use Firefox until the company collapses
Lucas Long
>I'll use Firefox for three months
Austin King

Camden Wilson
>2000 + 17 >not using Pale Meme
Chase Nguyen
>pale meme That's just an outdated firefox. FF runs as fast as chromium last time I tested them. I see no reason to switch to anything else.
Jackson White
>we cut reload functionality >well what do you know, doing less stuff is faster

Hunter Butler
I don't reload pages if the page is broken I shift+reload to forcibly redownload the content. If the page loads then I read what's there and then leave.
Nathan Fisher
What the fuck does it matter to an Autistic bitch like you?
Ian Bell
>I'll use Firefox until the company collapses You won't have to wait long. FF will become even shittier soon as Mozilla (or whatever the fuck they call themselves now) abandons XUL extensions and allow only chrome-style extensions. All the reasons why people stuck with FF will disappear overnight.
>Pale Meme Rebreanded and older bag of shit is still shit.
