Just switched browsers

[Destructionator XV]

Firefox was giving me lots of woes, being terribly slow, using huge amounts if RAM, randomly opening links in new, undecorated windows, and sometimes crashing for no good reason.

Today I decided I have had enough of it, and made a full switch to Konqueror after weighing the options.

I customized it to basically look like I had Firefox, simplistic and minimalist, and dove right in.

Thus far, I have noticed google gmail doesn't work correctly in it, but it does work, so no big deal there. It doesn't seem to remember passwords, which I will miss (unless I missed that option in the myriad of customization options it offers). Cache and render speed is far better than firefox.

edit 2: w00t!!! The sound is in sync with the video! This is amazing. I honestly don't think I will ever switch back to firefox except for trivial tasks and possibly placing online orders. This is far better.

edit: YES! In browser sound works they way I like it to work! (Windows does this for all browsers, by the way) BIG PLUS.

I love the automatic spell check in textareas. It will make my postings on boards so much better. Now if I could only get it to use an embedded vim window as it's textarea editor.....

So far, I am very happy with konqueror as a general purpose browser, and my only question is why I didn't make this switch sooner.

I use either FireFox or Opera when it suits me...

Neither of them are particularly taxing upon my computer, so there's no fuss for me really.
