I agree, although I'm still using it. Flash stalling the whole browser, some textboxes not working properly, and various javascript applications like FB not working properly are the bugs I've come across.
Agreed. FFox is way too bloated, even with "8 gazillion tricks to speed up ffox!".
The only must-have extensions are Firebug and Web Dev Toolbar, so I keep firefox around for debugging purposes. For everyday browsing it's chrome all the way.
I agree . . . and it is a shame. Never thought I would see the day when Firefox is the most troublesome, aggravating, and downright crappiest app on my machine, both on Ubuntu and (yes, I still have to occasionally use it, so I dual boot) XP. Actually thought it was just MY problem until now . . . ahh I miss the 1.5 days . . . IE is still worse, but, not by much. Sad thing is, I think the FF guys KNOW it, and simply don't give a crap. I mean, if they did, they would have done something about it . . .
My thought exactly. Who, of all the users on IE, has even heard of a different browser? And then of these users, they decide that IE is still better? Is this like some .001% that I can't find anywhere?
I just recently went 100% FF again, after using chrome for 2 weeks or so. Chrome crashed and made pandora stutter, plus the lack of add ons.... I'll give it another shot when it gets out of beta
The funny thing was how I had everything crash much more in Chrome (which was supposed to be crash proof), compared to Firefox 3 which to date has yet to hang on me once.
That whole "multiple processes" hype sure was cute though.
Not to mention their analysis is skewed. Could they not have compared the browser shares circa a major FF release? FF3 usage was way up, then declined slowly.
From the article: Safari, the only browser to escape Chrome's impact
Translation: Despite Apple's very annoying efforts to shove Safari down everyone's throat through "iTunes updates", there is not a single Windows user out there using Safari, so Chrome could not steal any market share. Since, you know, there weren't any to steal in the first place.
Well... Any non-Windows user uses a computer that's almost 100% Chrome-proof.
I won't try to run it on my Linux notebook, but I am still typing in Chrome on my Windows one. And IE sucks so badly I can´timagine anyone who _prefers_ it over Chrome.
