Browsers

Firefox is increasingly bloated and slow, has a multitude of annoying tooltips that can't be disabled, and chokes on HelloQuizzy's JavaScript. Konqueror constantly segfaults, renders things badly, and has no option to never save passwords. Haven't tried Chrome or that other one yet... the one that starts with an 'O'. Whatever.

Meh. Browsers

The idea with Chrome that every tab is a seperate process is ... potentially good.

Holy moses, I was going to come in and leave a comment, and before I had a chance I had a massive flash ad from Best Buy overlay my screen and refuse to let me close it for several seconds. Livejournal: NO. Bad ad system!

Anyways.

I haven't tried it on Linux (all my *nix boxen are CLI-only), but I've enjoyed Chrome on windows. Its javascript rendering is much faster than anything else I've used, and it's not nearly as fat as firefox has gotten. Of course, that's at the cost of not having the same sort of extension support (such as adblock), but eh. I prefer leanness and speed over the occasional annoying ad, and being based on webkit it's got pretty good rendering.
