Re: firefox lags me like crazy
Try the latest Firefox beta. I've been using it for a while on both my computers and it's quite snazzy. It's a lot faster and the memory issues are less severe.
(Note: I am a biased source, so you may also want to look into Opera if your goal is avoiding IE.) |

Yup...3.0b5 is running quite nicely...
Even the nightly 3.0pre build is running sexily. The memory leaks are basically non-existant. If you are hesitant b/c of your addons/extensions, 3.0b5 has a tool where you can force-update them. Just go to your extensions box and click the force update. Restart Firefox, and the majority of them should work. All of mine did. |

Re: firefox lags me like crazy
Actually Roach, if you want to be technical, Opera beats firefox in almost every test I've seen.
IE < FireFox < Opera is the general trend I've seen, with IE getting more bloated, and FireFox getting less and less bloated, and Opera getting slightly better and definitely better on standards. I still run firefox 1.5, because 2.0 is very bloated, and 3.0 tends to feel slower. Why don't I use opera? I support open source, and I'd readily use a browser that isn't as good, but I can trust and have added to, then anything else. |
