Underwhelmed by Chrome? Tweak Firefox for More Speed
September 4, 2008
Over the last few days I have felt like I was back in the 90's during the old browser wars. After I listened to Google's webcast announcement about Chrome I dashed to Google Gears and downloaded the much ballyhooed browser.
To be honest, I'm underwhelmed. Yes it's cool to be able to arrange your tabs but browsing for me is all about speed. I've tweaked Firefox so much that it just screams and Chrome hangs and hangs...and hangs. So, if you're a dedicated Firefox user, try Fasterfox to upgrade your speed.
Recent competition in the browser arena even had me conduct my own mini browser war. A really pleasant surprise is the 9.52 version from Opera; which I have been using more often as it is relatively fast (especially loading large images better than it used to). If you like to play with widgets, access to popular Opera widgets like the T-Online Newsticker and Pandora's Music Widget is easy from the Opera toolbar.
So for now, I can't say I'm a huge Chrome fan. Especially for business use I need to be able to zip from web page to web page at top speed. Firefox still is the speed king for me.
Please comment on your recent browser experiences. Are you enjoying the new browser wars, and do you have any cool browser tweaks you'd like to share?
