Google Chrome Loads Pages Slowwww

[BRANDONN2008]

I had to post this, because everywhere I read, it says Chrome is fast and Firefox is really slow in comparison. For me, Chrome loads pages very slowly, which has prompted me to stay with Firefox for now. For example, the page http://www.rottentomatoes.com/ takes one to two seconds for Firefox with NoScript to load, but on Chrome, it takes seven seconds! Is there something I'm doing wrong, and is there something I can to do speed up Chrome? Thank you.

I use 3 browsers a day and sometimes 4

I use Google Chrome for flash based contents

I use Firefox for the rest browsing because it has got NoScript

I use IE for some websites like Arabic websites

I use Opera if all of them don't render a site fast enough

Why do you use the browsers for different stuff? Is it because they excel in that area of just of personal preference? I personall think Internet Explorer 6 is that fastest browser that is still widely supported.

The ROTTEN TOMATOES site loads in about 1 second for me.

Weird. I have a quad core and plenty of memory, and Comcast high-speed, so I don't understand why it is slow. Maybe because I am usig the latest beta version?

I'm running the latest build (dev 5.0.375.9), so...if you're on the beta, you're on a more stable version than mine. Check your extensions, many of them still break Chrome.

I don't have any extensions. I did have AdBlock but it is just as slow without it. Maybe NoScript makes pages load faster in FF?

Instant load here in Chrome and I'm also on Comcast.  
When did you last clean out your browsing data

Maybe NoScript makes pages load faster in FF?

Yes, but depends on the page...

I've tried multiple pages, and I always use CCleaner after I close a browser.

Firefox can be configured to clean up all residues after surfing.

Hi Asyn,

You can do that inside the browser itself when closing a browser session. Ctrl+Shift+Del.
But you can also do it with ATFCleaner from the desktop, download from here:

You can use it next to CCleaner for the bytes that does not cleanse,
