Thin Browsers
March 16th, 2008
I've been growing frustrated over the slowness of my firefox browser, but at the same time I know it's chock full of tools. Still, in the back of my mind I remember the glory days - "Just use Firefox, it's faster."
My extensons include: Firebug, Operator, Delicious Bookmarks, Web Developer, YSlow, EC2 UI, Selenium IDE, Moz CC and a couple of others.
That said, I installed Firefox Beta 3 and noticed an immediate speed difference. Of course, this needed Nightly Tester Tools to activate all my extensions.
With extensions aded back in - the Speed stayed.
Ironically, I had started using Safari last week as my "thin browser." For browsing to sites I just wanted fast on. Now with Firfox 3 installed, we'll see if I need Safari for anythign other than testing again.
