- vintagedave 8y agoWhich is itself a disappointing browser. I like the idea, but the execution is bad: mostly, for me, the UI speed. It's molasses, or glue, or <insert other favorite slowness metaphor here>. I had to move to Chrome, and I haven't managed to move back, or to FireFox yet either. I speculate the cause is that the UI is written in HTML/Javascript, but I'm not sure. Some parts of it have to be tailored per platform, and be natively implemented, I'm sure.

He stepped down as CEO in 2010, left in 2011, and the switch was announced in 2013.
