Your history is off. Opera was the first mainstream browser to implement tabs and boy was Opera also much faster than Firefox at its peak (both UI, resource usage, and rendering) which overlaps that “peak” Firefox period by a lot.
Firefox was great because it was open source but it wasn’t ever really the “best” browser - it was the best open source browser.
- le-mark 16d ago> it was the best open source browser. Yes that was implied because IE was not mentioned either!
- toyg 16d agoWhen the original Phoenix browser was released, Explorer was in the middle of its slumber with the dreadful v6. Phoenix might not have been as feature-full as IE6, but it was very much the superior experience. It made browsers fun again.
- vlovich123 16d agoThat’s a quote you seem to have materialized from thin air - op didn’t make this claim.
- le-mark 16d agoIt’s literally the last sentence?
- vlovich123 15d agonot sure what you’re quoting but the last sentence of the post I replied to is: > Just the fact that Firefox got browser tabs before anyone else, and Firebug, just took it to another level compared to all the other browsers available at the time. Your quote doesn’t appear.
- vlovich123 15d agoOr you're quoting me which then I don't understand what point you're trying to make.
