OK, before I go get this, I have just one simple question: Is it as fast as Opera 11.11? I just got done bitching about how slow FF4 is on my crap PC, while Opera 11.11 is like absolute lightning on it. Why can't Firefox be that fast if Opera can?!
- mikecane 15y agoWhat, questions like that aren't allowed? I wasn't being snarky. What is it that makes Opera so fast that Firefox can't do also? EDIT: And I want to be clear too: I do not use the Turbo feature of Opera.
- meow 15y agoExtensions! Lots of extensions (in my case anyway). But that's what I love firefox for :)
- mikecane 15y agoI actually tried extensions with Opera. It slowed it all down. Unlike Firefox, where it doesn't seem to make any difference. Fox is also stable as hell.
- snarkyturtle 15y agoOpera is a lot better at being scalable from my experience. It works just as well given limited resources and scales up to being able to use all the resources of a powerhouse computer.
- mikecane 15y agoWhy can't Firefox do the same, though, is what I'm asking. Why cut off an entire segment of low-end computers? Don't talk about bridging a digital divide while also creating one!
