I don’t have time for a proper post. I just wanted to share my frustration at the browser choices currently available.
Firefox is bloated. It eats up all my computer’s resources and hangs like crazy.
IE is slow. It doesn’t take as many resources as Firefox, but it’s not a huge improvement. Plus, I click something, hear the click, and then wait several long seconds for anything to actually happen.
I’ve switched to Google Chrome recently, looking for relief, but a plague of unresponsive tabs has made me wonder if it’s truly any better than the above. Plus, Chrome renders Japanese text horribly. To wit:
Sigh.
Have you tried Opera or Konqueror?
I have not. Do they have plugins? I am sooo dependent on Firefox’s Web Developer Toolbar (and Rikaichan) that I’ve switched back to Firefox from Chrome at work.
I don’t know whether or not they have plugins. I tried Opera once a while back. I’m just used to doing everything in Firefox, even though it’s kind of a memory hog.
