Why not Chrome, Safari, or Firefox?

• zvrba 14y ago
  Firefox = bloat and I don't like it. Safari is affiliated with Apple and I won't touch products of a company whose products and way of running business are antithesis to openness, freedom and hacker culture. Chrome.. no special reason. I don't particularly like it, nothing I could point the finger at, but.. blah. Is there a way of disabling plugins in Chrome, as in: a placeholder is displayed on the page and the plugin is activated when I click the placeholder? IE, on the other hand, has "suggested sites" feature which I'd like to test more. Maybe it helps me with discovering some new content on the net.

    It's not bloat that moved me away from FF, it's their lack of HTML5 video support on Mac, which makes it completely utterly useless.

      To this I can only say "Huh"? Or do you mean they don't bundle patented codecs like H264? They support HTML5 video just fine AFAIK.
