| Re: Why You Should Dump Internet Explorer Firefox is SLOW. Ver 1.0 preview release, and IE is faster on my box. XP, 2 x 2400+ AMD MP, 1gig ram.
Tabbed browsing? WTF? Never used it, even in Opera. If you need IE tabbed browsing, just enable "Group like icons", there, you got it for IE as well. Sheesh. Oh, and FF takes xxK total, and IE xxK per window? SO WHAT. GO BACK AND READ THE SPECS, THERE'S RAM FOR DAYS. Size doesn't matter.
Yeah, FF is probably fun for those that like to tweak more than actually browse... but I rate on out-of-box, not after I've tweaked it to death.
The fastest, hands down, is Opera. Try going back to visited pages, ESPECIALLY ones that have had form information posted. FF and IE choke, asking, "...duhhhh, should I send again? ...you sure? ...super sure?" Geez, just show me the page as it looked a few seconds ago!
Sorry, but FF didn't wow me. Opera did, and I'll be going back to it. |
