Exit Safari – Firefox okaeri

Been a longtime Firefox user since version 1, there’s is no perfect webbrowser. But anything was better than adwareking called IE.  Firefox quickly became my preferred browser, above IE (I rarely rarely use it, if I could I’d uninstall it, but for the occasional site and sharepoint, I need to fire up IE7)

So winter last year my Firefox (ver. 2.5?) started crashing my profile constantly, losing my saved login info. Which is quite annoying when you’re subscribed to many forums. Then you have to dig up your account etc.. I reinstalled in vain.

Why I don’t keep one pass, the same login to every forum? Baka ga omae wa? I’d go too far saying it’s like using the same pass/pin number as your bankcard, I always try to be ‘secure’ somehow with passwords. Not to mention trying to be incognito on some forums heh. I am not logged in to MSN automatically (I so hate that when people have MSN autostart when Windows boots up. Yet complain that their comp is so slow. Not noticing the few dozen tray icons – read useless crap – Windows has to start up before the computer is ready to be used)

Anyway, before this turns into an endless rant about baka users, back on topic: I tried other browsers like the new Google Chrome and Safari: Safari (3.x) looked just like iTunes (doh) clean and crisp and was fast. I decided that Safari was my new default browser. It only suffers from one huge problem, make that two: lag out of nowhere (annoying) and crashes (lot more annoying). When Safari 4-beta was released I hoped for better days, but sadly it wasn’t meant to be. Not one day passes without Safari crashing on me.  I tried various things like deleting cache, reset and what not. After a love hate relationship of 7 months,  I decided that Safari had to go:  I’m back to my old flame Firefox (3.5.1), it’s rock stable and speedy. I nearly forgot about all the handy add-ons what makes Firefox standout from other browsers. So what is your default browser?
