    Hmm....now that you guys mention it, lately I'm experiencing quite a bit of instability and lag with my Firefox. Should I switch to Chrome then?


    I do have this large collection of pink flowery themes ('perosnas') for Firefox that I'd miss.

    Do they have these for Chrome?

    Take your pick.

    My greatest gripe with Chrome is its inability to save webpages as text files, despite being a feature of nearly every other browser out there, and despite it having been requested a year or two ago (in Chrome terms, that's around 20 full releases ago).

    The Firefox team decided that the public has ADHD and jumped on the "release a new version every month" wagon. It's wasteful and unnecessary. I have not had a problem with the releases, but I am not using the GUI features. My browser configuration looks almost exactly the same as it did back in 2006.
    Requesting suggestions for new sig.

    I'm using Firefox 3 and I still love it after all these years. Chrome is nice, but there are quite a lot of extensions in Firefox I really cant live without (and they wont work on version 4), and version 3 is still being updated (currently 3.6.23). Just because you can update to a later version (4.0, 5.0, etc) doesn't mean you should.

    Good point, KI. I found another way to force compatibility with Firefox 100.0 or whatever frickin' version we're using on a Monday: Nightly Tester Tools. Download, install, and then you get an option to "foce compatibility" for your addons. Insane that we have to use such workarounds, but there it is.

    -edit-

    Gah. Nevermind. I've had it with Firefox, typing this in Chrome. All hail our Google overlords! Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos!
