For PC I switched to Firefox recently because chrome was using too much memory. Admittedly I put my rig on sleep mode a lot so that contributes to the issue but even if you close out chrome unless your computer shuts down completely chrome still allocates the same amount of RAM. So I would find Chrome utilizing like 3.5-4gbs of memory. That's definitely a recent occurrence though, I'd still be using chrome probably if I hadn't run into that issue and I've upgraded my memory recently so I could probably migrate back but I'm too lazy to and firefox honestly runs fine when you get used to it.

Simple answer on Yahoo!. Lots of folks created email accounts on Yahoo and still have a significant number of contacts, history, attachments, password reset links to other sites.

[@jeshirekitenkatt1212]

the thing with chrome is that it's google, it pushes itself the way IE used to before Microsoft's browser was beaten into submission once it faced competition with similar financial backing on PC. it also tracks tf out of you and i don't like it, so i use firefox with an adblocker and tracker blocker installed. anything that "needs" chrome can usually be done through opera which is much more secure. malware etc also tends to be worst with the dominant browser to maximize potential targets, so firefox and opera being comparatively small is also sort of a blessing in that regard. i can trust both browsers just a little bit further than their profit motive.

Also, from a business/corporate standpoint: IE can be used to access old legacy sites that havent been updated in years. Edge had an "IE Mode" but what it did was open up the old IE even if you cant run it normally. What did those business do? Well, they found they could just pin the IE app on the taskbar and then use Chrome for all other uses. Thats why the new Edge (with the Wave) is actually built on Chromium (Chrome's engine), and it has a built-in "IE Mode" to access those old corporate sites, so that Microsoft can fully get rid of this undying abomination.

Chrome's memory hog status is actually a misconception. Google takes a lot of memory but is going to share it with anything that asks. Rather than memory sitting unused, Google hangs onto it to speed itself up. If something else needs that memory, Google gives up those "speed up" bits of memory. Chrome has actually become more memory efficient than other browsers by not keeping tabs you don't need active, but it still LOOKS like a memory hog because task manager only tells you the total memory used.

One of the reasons Google dominates in the browser market is because of mobile. Also think about all those Chrome Books out there in use. They all are running Chrome. Google has an effective monopoly at this point as most users do basic internet stuff and really don't care beyond that (or their privacy).

Brave users, stand up.

4:10 yahoo home page is the no.1 choice for people in Japan. Will always have a huge pop.

[@NovocaineTV]

8:01 yahoo is massive globally. not so much in north america.

Gotta love dial-up noises lmao

AOL ... "You've Got Mail." Back in the beginning that was like an exciting event, what did I get?

[@antisocialjustice]

Wow now that's a walk down memory lane. The early internet era was wild.

The message boards of Prodigy was my introduction to online.

15:50 firebird ;)

[@anthonyontv]

3:40 so cringe to watch Asmon be dead wrong about it and literally IGNORED his mistake as much as he could as yahoo just broke the record in his face….it’s to be wrong it so cringe to watch him purposely not address it

[@Atodaso]

Those CDs you'd get in the mail, too! OMG - I totally forgot about that.

[@odysskon8127]

Opera being there from the beginning. Gotta respect it.

Chrome's bost in popularity was around the time of Android becoming a major part of the cell market.

[@KaizarNike]

i remember switching to chrome in 2012 and all my friends were wondering why not just use firefox, 'its just better and not spyware', then I switched to firefox in 2015

[@nicholassmith1982]

We have to remember that lots of these have way more users than the video shows because people would be using the app versions like youtube / twitter etc

[@marcelo55869]

11:15 This happens because this graph is an accumulate. It shows the sum of views from the moment the page was created. If a page was popular in the past it maintains its score even if nobody is interested anymore... A better graph to illustrate what Asmongold is trying to say is: instead of sum of views, show the views/month or views/year instead ...

[@ascrassin]

That false because we see the numbers go down (ex: for yahoo at 7:13). Or if it's a sum off all, it should only go up or stay stable

[@Thrashifice]

I remember getting all the free trial internet discs in the mail as a kid. The first time we got DSL was a godsend... Napster was my king...

[@KevinMCable]

Current firefox and opera's gamer version are currently the best in their individual ways. Edge was pretty good for a while but chrome has overpowered it once and for all.

[@beeironwing9664]

When you got the internet through the mail lmao

[@tusharsanghvi2101]

asmongold should react to the most subscribed KZbinrs over time
