red pill

The new Firefox 1.0 totally kicks ass! I love Safari n' stuff, but this thing is really really good. Go download, see how deep the rabbit hole goes!

so tell me what is so great about firefox? i tried it.. it's bigger than safari.. it doesn't seem as fast and doesn't have as much key command control.. but i'm curious what you like..

well, on my computer, it was markedly faster. And I was only using a 400 mhz 1st generation ibook running os x.3, with 576 MB RAM. Page loads were noticeably faster at my regular sites - livejournal for one. I had less trouble with some streaming media. The only key command I miss is tab switching (and that's a pretty big one, I realize) I also noticed that secure sites felt like they loaded quite a bit faster - better encryption handling or just perception? Unsure.
