Firefox 2

[James.]

meh, hardly a new version. New look, spell check..

dissopointed.

It's alright, although it's like a stripped version of Opera, where you have to spend ages getting loads of pluggins before it works like you want it to.

 

[tommyboy]

me disappointed too. dunno why I bothered downloading it

 

[Clellandmc]

Still, at least it's better than IE7.

Yeah not loads changed, spell checkers a nice touch, crosses to close windows on each tab rather then at the end takes some gettin used to, better then IE7 tho and a small improvement over the old version, hardly enough to warrant being called FF 2 tho like you say!

its what u want it to be, its simple, easy to use and fast. If you wanted tones more features then use its daddy 'opera'.

It hasnt change much, but I dont want it to, just improve the functionally of it.

I love the restore session thing on it when the browser crashes. Very handy. Programs are always crashing on this POS pc, so having that feature has been abused already

i have that as an addon to 1.5 anyway, probably one of the best addons i have added

Opera doesn't need to crash to remember the the tabs you had open. :rasp:

just started using opera too....how weird all browsers seem to look the same nowadays!

anyone know which is the least resource intentsive one? for geekyness sake?

 

[lewisniven]

netscape navigatopr is pretty easy on cpu time and ram and is based on firefox anyway. I tend to find that IE is less rescource intensive than firefox too, but im a hardened firefox fan.

Mmmm I have FF 2, I like the pong game add-on you can play against others online

Opera, There are tests on the net somewhere. Quickest apart from Lynx, but seen as that is a text browser kind of moves the goalposts.

Have you got a link to that please?

Been a FF convert for quite some time now. I cannot see any real benefit for IE anymore. FF2 seems fine to me, but like others say, hardly much of a 'big' improvement over the old one.
