Firefox 3 and it’s issues…
Hello I am a web developer and a graphic designer. I work on browsers all day long. So I know a bit about them when it comes to developing for them and using them.
I just downloaded firefox 3 and was disappointed. I am on a mac and my friend tells me these issues don’t happen on a PC. I found that FF3 when it came to javascript was horrifically slow. That is my major big gripe with it… thats it really.
Some people are upset that the home button is gone. But really? In a world where JS is getting more an more popular you would think that this browser would take care of this problem. Safari is still the best browser out there that I use (not saying it doesn’t have it’s own problems) Yeah there seems to be some memory loss with safari. BUT FF3 virtual and real memory is up through the roof. Compared to Safari which has been open since yesterday. I do like the new interface (partly because it looks more like safari then it ever did)
But now having to wait for themes/extensions/addons to be updated is kind of a pain. Vista anyone?
So these maybe issues just with the mac, but if thats the case then use safari! problem solved.
And yes after doing some research safari is the fastest browser when it comes to most things on the web. (yes even opera)
