...or, why I won't be abandoning Firefox just yet.


  • First, I don't like the way it renders pages. They don't quite look right. None of the font smoothing options are pleasing enough on my eye.

  • Second, I can't double-click in the empty space by a tab to open a new tab.

  • Third, it doesn't make use of the side buttons on my mouse for back/forward page browsing.

  • Fourth, I'm not convinced by the skin (and there are no options to re-skin it). I happen to like my full-screen windows keeping the same skin as my Windows theme, unless I specifically say so. In other words, I don't mind apps such as WinAmp looking "different" because they're never full-screen. But a web browser usually gets run full-screen. Maybe I'm being picky.

  • Fifth, there's no option to set the home page to a blank page.

  • Sixth, whilst it does indeed import Firefox/IE bookmarks, it doesn't say so when it starts up (Firefox does) and it doesn't tell you where it put them.

  • Seventh, the default toolbar buttons suck. Why isn't the 'Home' button there? (yeah yeah yeah I know, my home page is a blank page but only at home... at work for instance I have an intranet page as my home page)

  • Eighth: And y'know what? It doesn't actually feel faster, despite the claims Apple are making about its start up time and rendering time.
