/rubs his Opera in a sexual manner :rolleyes:
Firefox used to be awesome. I would use it over chrome any day when Chrome first came out. Then it changed. I now use Chrome almost 100% of the time. When I develop web apps they just work better.
At work we've actually had to stop people from using firefox since version 7. They've introduced errors that have not been fixed. Like the text in between the iframe tags being displayed when iframes are turned off. You get nothing when you should see the message. And 2 versions ago forms became goofy. They just seem to be doing what they can to crank the new feature out and get the verson number up instead of actually making something good.
when IE9 renders more reliably you have some problems. and I hate IE
i began to think that they play with version to make people get impressed that they develop this browser so fast :confused:
But seriously, why do people say FF is bloated nowadays? What has changed that made it so?
Opera could be said that it's bloated but they are slimming it down with v12 by disabling some stuff and removing it later. But then again, some like the fact that they get everything in it out of the box and that they don't have to fiddle with gazillion of addons to get some form of basic functionality.
This Firefox Crap is giving me hell of a time !
Slow and Hangs when you open multiple links at once !
Firefox for me starts fast enough, depending on maintenance, learn how to clean the places.sqlite file, but adding Adblock will slow down the browser considerably, and will use a lot more ram.
Overall for Google stuff Chrome is good, I mainly use it for maps and other g apps. But Firefox is fine enough for everything else.
