Comment Re:I switched back to Firefox from Chrome. (Score 1) 299

Actually, I agree.
I was running the Chrome dev builds. I switched back to Firefox (well, to the 4.0 betas). I'm on an old - dying - c2d Macbook. Firefox is indeed faster.
Apart from speed: I really like Chromes UI but it's hard for me to ignore the fact that Firefoxs add-ons are ahead at this point.
I keep trying other browsers and I'll gladly change again if I find something better for me.

Well, these are my experiences and I'm no fanboy of any browser or OS.
I noticed you got some comments from people who claim you're lying, a Firefox dev and so on.
Proves there's a war out there but this war is being fought between a couple of companies - it's always tragic to see people taking sides, no matter if it's Mac/Win, Xbox/PS, Firefox/Chrome. Use what's best for you and stop wasting your time hating for no reason.

I agree per se. However, bandwidth is almost never a problem for me and in my experience Chrome feels SO much faster even though it loads and hides all the ads (I use AdThwart with EasyList, it also lets me add own filters by clicking elements I want to hide -- also, I hear the Adblock extension actually skips loading ads now so I will have to give that a try). Eats less memory, starts A LOT faster, feels snappier. I used to love Firefox, but sadly todays Firefox is too slow and fat. I hope Mozilla can make a comeback.

Right on! Only problem is the music industry is powerful and they're in a cul-de-sac here. And they know it. I bet a lot of blood will be shed before this war is over.

One of the artists on the frontline is definitely Benn Jordan a.k.a. The Flashbulb (which I bet you're familiar with since you like Aphex Twin, Pojut). The statement that came with his newly released album was just amazing. So was the music!
