They mentioned that weather.com crashed their website. Their website is always extremely slow for me as well. It's ridiculous how poorly designed their website can be for such a simple service.
Also, there is https://weather.gov

#42Wow. My normal session now leaves me with around 8gb free out of 16, compared to 1-2gb free previously. Gmail is using less than 1GB again. I might even disable The Great Suspender, and stop killing tabs that use up lots of memory.
Whoever worked on this, you deserve a raise. QOL improvements for so many people.

You can run `curl wttr.in` to get your local weather and 3-day forecast. Or just go to http://wttr.in/
Can we get the temperature in degC?

It's the default on Mac, not sure on windows.
I'm curious why this is the case. You'd think if Google wanted 64 bit Chrome to be the default, they'd do it on both platforms even if only for consistency's sake.
It might just be because of the difference in platforms. 32-bit Mac has been gone for half a decade, whereas 32-bit Windows is still out there (32-bit Windows 10 exists), and those wouldn't be able to run 64-bit Chrome, so they may be using 32-bit as the default in order to avoid user confusion.

weather.com uses drupal7 + apache2 + ubuntu + angularjs, not sure why it is that slow, I use weather.com once a while just fine though.
It is only because of AngularJS + Ads.
This is a slow down caused by browser rendering/parsing/JS execution. I'm not sure what the server operating system would have to do with it.
