FireFox 4

(1/4) > >>

killermonkey:
I downloaded it... their release cycle is even slower than ours!

Anyway, I am super pissed off that they completely fucked their tab grouping... you can only have one group displayed at a time, are forced to go into a retarded and unhelpful "panorama" view of all your tabs to switch groups, and you can't easily drag/drop tabs between groups...

The UI is half-baked, the firefox button in the top left is not the same height as the tabs...

Overall I don't like it. It still seems sluggish and it doesn't have any additional options in the "options" menu even though we have 10 new UI components.

If Opera 11 didn't have such a nasty bug with AJAX content I would have dropped FF a long time ago.

Thoughts?

Kinky:
I dropped firefox a long time ago in favour of Opera. Since then ive migrated all my machines to Chrome because of bugs or website incompatibilities or whatever. I still prefer Opera i think for some of its useful tools but Chrome is slick and never lets me down.

Based on your testimony, I dont think ill be trying FF4

major:
Been using Chrome since basically it was announced, and haven't looked back. I keep Firefox, along with all other browsers installed just for sake of having them there.

I run the Chrome nightly build, it might have a minor bug for a day or two, but good having all the new features soon as they pop up.

Little trick in Chrome, if you goto "about:flags" in the address bar, you can enable/disable experimental features.

I guess I got a free laptop out of my Chrome dedication haha(even though I wiped ChromeOS off and overwrote with Ubuntu, sorry Google).


I also HIGHLY suggest, setting tabs on bottom of address bar, makes it way more bearable.


(also thanks Fraps, for benchmarking my browser. That's another annoying bug)

What a strange bug...

On my side, I've been using Chrome for long enough, Typing 'fo' then pressing enter to get on GE:S forums has never been easier.
I used to use Firefox, It was good for plugins, But I thought the load times we're slightly longer than Chrome. I have not tried any other browsers so far since Chrome fits me just fine.
Not using many plugins, I find no use of changing browser.

killermonkey:
It's not a bug. FF4 uses hardware acceleration to draw, fraps latches onto that and draws the FPS. You'd have the same "bug" in IE9.

Chrome doesn't use hardware acceleration yet.
