A few days ago, IE7 got on my nerves with it's "please confirm you really were thinking you would probably like to hit ok if asked wether to allow this ActiveX control, or not" kind of dialogs everywhere, and it'utter lack of cohesion, sense, quality, and originality. On to testing FF. In the past, the XPCOM component model of FF (the thing that handles "third party viewer for some special types of content", kinda like ActiveX for IE) had caused headaches to me, and many developers from what my latest researches show. It enforces web standards, is handy, it looks good, does loads of things, and all but... It got corrupt again on my pc. "Note to self: dude, your pc contains about ten different professional IDEs, different server technologies, SDKs for loads of stuff, it's not a pc, it's undocumented surprises waiting to happen." But anyway, I suspect it is my FF profile which got corrupt (possible to solve), nevertheless, it took less than two weeks, and now it chokes on Windows media and the likes, and casually leaks like crazy for no obvious reason. Just had to kill an 88MB firefox process. The hell to FF as well: by being an open source software, it is full of cutting edge ideas and techniques, the only thing being.. the whole is not stable enough. It's not what I call a "robust" app: shake the surrounding system a little and BANG... you've shot your firefox. So, while I am turning the little beast into furry boots, I decided to give Opera 9 beta a whirl. Seems neat so far, good job p01. .....Jeesus. What happened to browsers that let me do what I want without asking me ten times, are secure, and can be closed without the task manager?
