Ever since I switched to Mac last year, I have been going back and forth among the browsers – Safari, Firefox, Camino. I even tried Fluid which actually turned out to be something very different.
Anyways long story short, I had settled down to using Safari in the last few months. It worked for the most part except for a few dumb websites like airtelcallhome.com for which I used Firefox (more on these bozos in my next post) and that it would stop responding if I have one too many tabs open. It could just not take the load of the gazillion open tabs and I would find myself recovering the open tabs from the history quite often. It would get slower and slower with every new tab and get on my nerves big time..aghhh it was really frustrating and annoying.
But I still loved and used Safari for more or less the eye candy (call it the iAppeal)
Cut to last weekend. Kunal introduced reintroduced me to my old love (from the dark windows era) Firefox. They recently released v3.0…Gotta say, I love Firefox 3. Why? I will keep it simple -
- It looks really good – the iAppeal that is. It now has the Mac look to it.
- It does not seem to crash unlike Safari (I currently have 17 tabs open and it’s responding to each one of them) no delay = no frustration = love firefox)
Moral of the story – Try Firefox 3.0. It’s really awesome!
