After a few months of fiddling around with Firefox I’m switching back. Don’t know if it’s temporary or permanent. I had become disillusioned with the IE shells out there – Maxthon 3 is now using Webkit (and it’s CRAP, just like Google Chrome), whereas Maxthon 2 was bloated beyond belief and they’re not updating Maxthon 1 anymore. Greenbrowser started behaving weirdly for the wife and I, and so did MyIE (which is Greenbrowser’s little brother). I noticed that MyIE had disappeared from the MoreQuickTools homepage, and I have just discovered a program called MyIE9.
Today I upgraded (finally!) from IE6 to IE8 and boy, is it fast. Coupled with MyIE9 (which itself loads in about a second), I’m back to enjoying the web without having to wait five or ten seconds for Firefox 3 to load. I already set it up as my default browser (clicking links from my email now give me immediate HTML joy). As they say on Yo Gabba Gabba: “Try it, you’ll like it! Try it, you’ll like it! Try it, you’ll like it! Try it, you’ll like it! Try it, you’ll like it! Try it, you’ll like it! Try it, you’ll like it! Try it..” etc.
