Important Things 1999

Today, remove most plugins in Firefox V3.5.2 in order to improve its startup speed.

It seems having no effect after clearing up.

Firefox V3.5.2 starts up  slower than IE V6.0, and often crashs.

I have reported many times about the crash related with bookmark’s operation since V2, it’s still in this version.

After you create a bookmark or folder in left side bar, move it immediately, this operation will make Firefox crash.

If you tired of Firefox, Mathon will be a good choice to replaceV3.5.2, URL: http://www.maxthon.com/

I still use Firefox because of its powerful plugins, such as Xmarks, Alexa, and Zotera.

Firefox V3.5.2 is still in pre-release version, it’s hurry to publish, and harms its reputation.

Plugins in my Firefox V3.5 now,

1. Alexa Sparky

2. Gmail Manager

3. IE Tab

4. Java Quick Starter

5. Xmarks

6. Zotero

all of them are active.

Updated Firefox from 3.0.5 to 3.5.2. It’s a failure update because V3.5 has a long startup and is not compatible with some website. Also it seemed V3.5 want more CPU.

Now, Plugins and Addons in Firefox  V3.5.2,

• Alexa Sparky(Usally disable)
• FEBE(can be deleted)
• IE Tab
• Java Quick Starter(can be deleted)
• Xmarks
• Zotero

Google has finally released the full version of Google Chrome browser and yanked the ‘beta’ label off it. Google Chrome 1.0 is available for download and installation on Windows.

Meanwhile, Google is reportedly working for Chrome support on Mac OSX and Linux platform.

It may be termed as an achievement for Google engineers who managed to release the first finished version in a span of 100 days even as its major product, Gmail, is still in the beta stage.

Google has rolled out 14 updates since its launch. Post-launch we shared Chrome’s first impressions.

In terms of browser market share, Chrome’s market still remains under 1 percent as per Net Application s reports. Now that it is out of beta phase, PC makers might be swarming Google for deals to sell their system with Chrome pre-installed.

IT1999:

I use Firefox, and find no reason to replace it with Google Chrome, althought installed one in my laptop for test.

If Google opens more, and more Addons, maybe it’s a competitor to Firefox.

The most considerable reason that I use Firefox is two Addons, one is Foxmarks, the other is IE Tab.

Can Google do same thing?

The answer is YES to the first one, but Google abandoned similar project(I remembered).

The answer is NO to the second one. Why? Why does Google generate a web browser?

Can Google Chrome do same thing as IE6? It’s a dream, and need application vendors support it.

Maybe Google Chrome need beat Firefox first, then something will change, and we’ll not need IE6 any more. This is what I’ve wished.
