Browseracious

Posted by Abhinav Kaiser Aug 22, 2006

When it comes to browsers, I am totally biased and I am proud about it. I use Firefox and no other. It has served my purpose. There are some extensions like the web developer extension that I cannot function without. Firefox rarely freezes on me.

I am a web designer. I know the pain that I have to go through web designing just for Internet Explorer. The reason : it doesn't understand the code the other browsers would. I will have to separately write a code for Internet Explorer. Sometimes optimizing for IE could spoil it on Firefox as Firefox strictly goes by the W3C book. I would like to take this opportunity and convert people from IE to Firefox. Get Firefox today.

My only issue with firefox is that it becomes too bulky after installing the required extensions. It takes a long time to load as there are several other programs starting up as extensions.

My optimum browser would be the one which is very light on my system and it should have support for extensions. Installing extensions shouldn't slow down the browser. I am sure the programmers of today are good enough to achieve this target. It is just going to be a matter of time before it is realized. Until then, I will keep using Firefox and at the same time, I will keep criticizing IE.
