Browser Wars

| | Comments ()
I'm extremely picky when it comes to browsers.  I'm a minimalist, so I've never seen the need to install any addons for Firefox.  I like applications that work (more or less) how I like out of box, mainly because it's rare for me to keep an installation of an operating system for more than six months, and I'd drive myself crazy with all the reconfiguration and/or backup.  The only extensions I use for Firefox are for development and debugging, namely Firebug and Tamper Data. 

Last spring, I purchased my first Mac.  I soon found Firefox far too unstable to be usable on Mac OS X.  Ever since then, I've switched to Opera and have been satisfied with it so far. 

The candidates for browsers are Opera 9.5 Beta, Firefox 2, and Flock 1.0.  Flock is a "social" web browser based on Firefox. I chose Flock mainly because it's recent release has struck interest in me, but I plan to write a more comprehensive post on Flock in the future.  Today, I'll be covering three aspects of each browser: RSS Feeds, Speed, and Keyboard Accessibility.
