Three things I hate in Firefox

Ore: 15:30 - Tags: Internet

Well, there are three things that I don’t like using firefox.

1. It takes 5 seconds to open when system is booted initally. Opera took 1 second.

2. Firefox’s download manager SUCKS! Opera’s download manager is no better though.

3. MEMORY HOGGER! MEMORY PIG! Firefox eats up 120 MB RAM when I opened 10 tabs! Opera took only 35 MB!!

The best thing I like about Firefox : Support for Extensions and Java scripts.

    Opera’s quicker start up time has been verified.

    There are alternate download manager replacements. Download StatusBar addon is just fine.

    But, these days, I’m more into Opera than firefox.

    Unused RAM is RAM wasted. Opera is very much more awesome in this respect though. On this computer though it takes longer to start, weird. Maybe I should get the newer version, I’m still on 9.01

    I use wget, or d4x or kget. They’re cool.

    Support for extensions, eh? Perhaps Opera has widgets that do the same thing? Check and see.

    Opera also has better security, I’ve heard.

    Opera has everything you need dude. I have no need for Adblock or Flashblock to block images or flash. I use Opera 9.10.

    The widgets are totally useless.

    Are they? I don’t miss too many of my extensions. And I can use Firefox whenever I need them.
