They'll never have Tree Style Tabs I imagine, so I'm stuck forever with Firefox for that extension.
Not that I mind Firefox, but Chrome gets to do a reboot and start again without carrying legacy support/etc with it.
Early versions of Firefox felt "lighter" than IE to me for that reason.
- sketerpot 17y agoRemember when Firefox was the lightweight web browser? Of course it was called Phoenix back then, and later Firebird. It was refreshing.
- ZeroGravitas 17y agoFirefox was never a lightweight browser. It was fairly minimalist, especially compared with what came before it, but those things were just switched off or hidden, not removed, because that would have been a lot more work. It's probably only got more "lightweight" with time as they've had more opportunity and funding to optimise and actually remove things they don't use.
