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

#93Earlier quoted context omitted.
Try Weather Underground: Their graph is the most impressive, useful visualization of weather data around, IME. For example: https://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast... Note you can click the controls at the top right of the graph and add/remove elements. The graph is a bit heavy, but that may be necessary to generate the visualization.
What I didn't realize was that weather underground is now owned by the weather channel :(

#94Wow. 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.
That is a DISGRACE.

#95Any way to set the minimum tab width yet? Once I get 7+ tabs in a window, they're truncated to a useless width.

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

#99It also looks like the UI shrunk 30%, and there's no way to change it, except by changing the DPI of the whole OS.

#100awesome news then, chrome really needs to improve memory usage, especially when I have lots of tabs open. under firefox I normally had 120 tabs open all the time, and it's fine. with chrome, I dare not to exceed 60 tabs. chrome triggers heavy swap all the time still, which renders the system very sluggish.
I can't recommend this extension enough, The Great Suspender: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/the-great-suspende... It freezes your tab after a set amount of time, freeing up the memory for each tab.
