Browser Recommendation: Google Chrome

For a long time I was a pretty regular IE user – never really paying much attention to Firefox or other browsers.  I was impressed with tabs in IE – as this is a great usability feature.  Most everything I needed to do worked fine in IE – and it was very dominant in the market share.  Then I started to have problems – when IE would try to restore the tabs after a reboot (which we know doesn’t happen very often with windows) and would seem to crash.  It seemed to get less and less stable over time…

Sometime last year I finally made the plunge and tried Firefox.  I was quite impressed with Firefox – especially with it’s support for more standards (like curved borders!!) and the extensions.  It’s just neat to be able to apply a theme to the browser so it looks cooler.

Recently I decided to try out Google Chrome as I had heard a lot about it too. View full article »

How many Firefox tabs is too many?

Right now I have 11 tabs open in one Firefox window and 7 open in another.  So how many is too many?  I’m not sure that I’m actively looking at all of them but it somehow feels better to have them open – for easy access – allowing you to switch back and forth.

Of course now the browser is becoming more and more dominant is terms of how we live – so maybe having multiple firefox tabs open is like having multiple applications open (not that I don’t do that too).  That was one of the points of Google Chrome OS – as it’s just a browser….
