Just unplug the speakers - the sound won't come back again that way, and you can continue with Chrome.

Less YouTube?
But really - if you really angry with Chrome, give a chance to FireFox. It got much better in the last two years...

Ironically, the only problem I've ever had with chrome was gmail wouldn't work right.

The only problem I had with Windows was that IE wouldn't work.
The only problem I had with IE was that Silverlight wouldn't work.
Allright, I had a lot more problems with both, but these are pretty stupid 
YouTube is also owned by Google by the way. And it's the only problem I have in Chrome...

I had a problem where IE11 was the only browser that wouldn't support Microsoft Outlook Web Access from Exchange 2010 out of the box. Chrome, Firefox and Safari all supported it.
Seems like the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing at Microsoft these days.
By the way, Safari on OSX works really well, much better than Chrome or Firefox in my opinion

But then you have to use OSX; isn't that like burning down the house for the termites?

More like burning down the house killing off the termites, then building a bigger, better one without all the problems of the original 
I used to be anti-Apple for a long time but Windows Phone was so bad it pushed me onto iPhone, then Windows 8 came along and finally convinced me to give OSX a go and I haven't looked back. Thinking back on it, it's weird how these anti-Apple/Microsoft/Google sentiments get started?
I still use Windows 8.1 but only for .NET development with Visual Studio. For everything else I prefer OSX.

Yeah, I couldn't help myself. Interesting, as I was the exact opposite. I was on iOS, got bored with it (static icons are so 2007), went to WP7 over three years ago and haven't looked back (on WP 8.1 now). I gave OSX a fair shot for about 6 months or so, but I ended up really just using the iMac as a VM server for a Windows image, so that didn't make sense either. So I sold it, built a homebrew that's running Windows 8.1 and couldn't be happier.

Widgets does seem to be the one thing missing from iOS - hopefully iOS8 will make some steps in the right direction.

I was determined to use the Mac as a Mac rather than use it as a Windows machine. There's a learning curve involved, but once you're used to it you can get things done mega-quick. Keyboard shortcut consistency between applications is a big plus.
Another plus you get to learn Objective C (and Swift once the final version of XCode 6 is released) if you're that way inclined

I find Opera rather klunky and poor performing.
Then again, the fact that anything can render the sh*t that is HTML/CSS/Javascript pretty much amazes me.

It's indeed the sh*t!
I heard gangmembers now use it as a way to identify themselves and their gang. They can switch gangs by simply adjusting their CSS.

I'm at least glad we have semi-decent JavaScript debugging now. Things used to be worse.

I used to use Chrome as my main browser, but it's a bit of a memory hog. Tried Firefox, but its quite cpu heavy when opening multiple pages and doesn't multi thread as well - pages lag while other load. I use Displayfusion and one of the functions it gives is to use middle click to move a maximized window to another screen on dual monitor setups. In FF this opens a new tab... annoying.
Now I'm using Opera. It seems to do better with memory use than Chrome. It has some nice features and it actually uses the same engine (Blink - the fork of Webkit) as Chrome, so a lot of things will be similar to Chrome, although it doesn't have everything Chrome has, but has some nice features of it's own. The speed dial and stash works well - I don't really use bookmarks. The only major annoyance is that middle clicking on the tab to close it also moves it to the other screen (Displayfusion feature), which Chrome doesn't do, so I'm still getting used to closing tabs using the x.

I middle click to open tabs... Always use the x for closing them.

Have you used the 'down and right' mouse gesture with the right button clicked? It might be a solution you like, although you could have to enable gestures in the settings.

Didn't know about that, thx. Tried it, but I will need some practice to get it right.

I use Opera for my internet radio. It's the only thing I use it for and I'm happy.
Chrome for everything else only because Firefox was crapping out too many times.
