I use chrome. It's much faster than firefox and has a better userface. Anyway, to the point. Whenever a tab is loading while i have rs in a different tab, the rs page flashes white, while i'm in the tab. Sometimes, the whole page will just go white and log me off. Anyway to fix this?

Probably a plugin issue, if you can't find a fix on google then your probably not going to be able to do anything.

 

 

 

Opera has a really nice interface and it's also really fast it also has a ton of features without needing addons.

I think that someone got RS to work through Chrome when it was just released, if you look in Tech & Computers around mid-September you might find something. I am obviously too lazy to look.

Sounds like an issue with Chrome's sandboxing.

You should try Opera, they recently released Opera 10 Beta which is extremly fast. Maybe you will get better experience.

Also Safari 3 is good and very fast (Safari is generally the fastest of all browsers and I don't like Safari 4, too many useless features)

 

Safari 3 doesn't work well on windows and while safari 4 does well on the tests, thats about all it's good at.

 

 

 

Opera is probably going to be your best bet.

Please, don't tell me "Use Opera, Use browser X, etc". I'd just like recommendations to solving my problem.

What Java version are you running, Google Chrome requires Java 6 Update 10 (Java 6u10).

Problems with Rs in Chrome

 

 

 

Chrome. There's your problem.

 

 

 

I'm going to suggest getting a new browser, but you already said that you don't want suggestions like that.

Reinstall Chrome. Sandboxing is a newer technology for browsers and they may have some flaw with their code. I only use the OS X version of Chrome which doesn't allow the user to play Runescape at the moment, so I can't comment on what it can/can't do. I'm surprised at the influx of Opera recommendations, as its javascript engine is subpar to Safari 4 which leads the pack and Chrome. It also carries a larger footprint without the myriad of third-party support you see from Firefox.

You say Opera has a larger footprint? Both Firefox and Opera are on the Tif forum only in the next picture.

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you want I can take a screenshot of the full desktop background to show you proof.

 

 

 

Safari may lead on Macs, but it's far from leading on Windows. And I don't think Chrome leads either, it's not even complete.

Chrome is a minimalist browser that's only advantage is a small bit of unnoticeable speed. Safari doesn't work well on windows, it's a privacy nightmare and it's buggy. Firefox uses a huge ammount of memory, it's extremely unstable with addons and it is very featureless without addons.

 

 

 

Opera has a huge amount of features, exelent stability and low memory usage built in all with nice js speed(second to webkit, which was made specifically to beat the tests) and the best security. It also needs no addons.

I wouldn't call chrome's speed unnoticeable, I certainly notice it. I found that the browser that ran RS best was actually IE, however since IE is such a memory hog I now use....well, a program that runs RS very swiftly, if you get my meaning ;)

I was comparing it more to Chrome, which has a smaller footprint by far.

 

 

 

The point I'm making is that people shouldn't force other things down other's throats, something all to common on these forums. He doesn't want Opera, he wants to use Chrome. Some say that may be his problem, as it may, but nothing was done to rectify the problem on that specific browser. Rather, the majority of replies are that he should get a new browser without first ever diagnosing the main issue.

 

 

 

Opera may have features that entice users, such as mouse gestures (and before you ask, I do use Opera when I rarely play Runescape because Firefox glitches) but it's a long way from having the stability features that Chrome and Safari 4 have. First, Chrome and Safari 4 (and IE8) have a feature that puts tabs as a separate process, this is known as sandboxing. What does this mean for the end user? If one tab crashes, it doesn't bring down the entire browser. Safari 4 goes a little further and runs plugins separately, so if a plugin crashes it simply leaves you with a blank box fixed by a refresh. And I'm somewhat confused when you say that Safari is buggy on Windows because the newest version just launched during WWDC on the 8th. I'm not going to argue which browser is the best because that's an opinion left to the user, in this case the OP doesn't want to switch to a new browser and we should abide by that.

Chrome is by no means minimalist, it's just nobody has written extensions for it yet. Its advantages are a huge increase in speed, decrease in footprint, and its groundbreaking JavaScript engine. Safari works great on Windows, although I would never use it as my main browser due to lack of extensions and the fact that it isn't entirely open source. Its privacy is absolutely fine and it is very stable. Firefox uses a reasonable amount of memory, it's very stable with or without addons and even if it was featureless without addons, that would not be a flaw.

 

 

 

tl;dr: [citation needed]

 

 

 

Also: Just did a sunspider Javascript benchmark with Firefox 3.0.10 and the earliest version of Chrome for Linux (Which has a lot newer JavaScript engine, so it isn't entirely fair) and in every single test Chrome was significantly better than FF, according to the sunspider comparison.

I'm a massive fan of Chrome, but recently I've been having problems loading some pages in forum.tip.it (which actually crashes every chrome[Caution: Executable File] process) and a few other pages, so I'm using a stripped down version of Firefox for now. I reckon it's Google's problem, I doubt it's a problem at your end. Maybe downloading an earlier version might work.

 

 

 

But, as soon as Chrome is properly complete, tested, stable and there's an addon system in place, it will be superior to Firefox. The ability to rip tabs out of one window and slotting it into another using drag and drop is really great if you've got some decent desktop space. It's also far faster and more efficient than any other browser I've come across. And the Omnibar is great as well.

I was just about to make a thread about this, because it only happens when i am playing rs.

 

Just now it flashed for about 3 minutes, and i just got a severe head ache. Like it flashes white horizontal bars every couple seconds right?

 

So annoying.

YES! The exact same thing happens to me

Firefox 3.5 Beta 4 has the ability to do that.

And you should be quiet :mrgreen: Don't be so clever :|

Uhm, the current firefox is able to do that, I did that like a year ago, that tab dragging thing in firefox.

Alright, alright. It's still a very fast browser.

Any suggestions....anybody :(

Like i said, if you can't find a fix on Google then you wont be able to fix it. It's probably a plug-in problem between Java and chrome. Your only option is to file a bug fix with chrome and either deal with it or switch browsers until the problem is fixed.

 

 

 

Your reasons for using chrome would be filled by opera (it's usually the second fastest browser behind chrome and the interface can be switched to ultra minimal) so I'd recommend using that until the problem is resolved.
