No more Firefox
The browser boots up, and gives me a list of all those addons which need updates. Of course I’d like to have the latest version. Isn’t it why I had it installed there in the first place? If its my unlucky day, even Firefox would need an update. And there is nothing I can do except wait until all those messy updates are done. Wait, there’s more..After the updates comes the installation. Its very frustrating I need to use a browser quickly for 2 minutes and I need to wait for 5 minutes until Firefox is done dressing up itself. And I almost forgot, update the browser and be assured that atleast 3 out of 5 extensions wouldn’t be compatible. Very, very frustrating.
Chrome updates in the background. I don’t care what you download as long as its from a trusted vendor. 5 seconds and its ready to browse the web, anytime of the day. Installing extensions or themes is just instantaneous with chrome, no restart required.
Because at the end of the day, all I want is to have is to browse the internet. Not just keep looking at progress screens of addons getting updated. Now that Chrome has all extensions I use on Firefox, its been days since I’ve clicked on the Firefox browser. I’ve still not decided to uninstall Firefox, but then I’m getting there.
P.S. When I opened WordPress to write down this post, I was informed that WordPress needed to update to 2.9.1. Here I go again…
Heh! I have the same feelings as you and this is the reason I've shifted to Opera or even IE8 (Please! No baulking! Yes, I am currently commenting through it!). I tried removing Add-ons to ensure the update process & search for them is faster. Yet, everytime, Firefox updates itself, it is markedly slower than earlier. While starting up & while browsing.
Btw, I remember meeting you at the Blogger's meet & back then you were quite excited seeing a Firefox badge a guy was sporting. Quite a departure from then, eh?!
even I like opera, I'm a big opera mobile fan. Why don't you try Safari? I've always liked it for some weird reason..
