What’s your browser choice and why? Charles Arthur explains some of the features, problems and intricacies:
On balance, then, even though Firefox has the reputation of being the nerd’s browser (because its “extensions” allow you to do so much to web pages as you view them), it does offer the best balance of all those requirements. The irony is that it rose from the ashes of Netscape – the upstart browser company that Microsoft managed to strangle in the late 1990s, thus bringing itself to the attention of the US justice department. In the end, perhaps the best browser did win.
The ashes of Netscape? My parents still use Netscape for their mail.
I’ve been quite fond of Firefox, but it’s been hanging and pausing so much for me lately that I’ve gone back to Safari.
