Internet Explorer how will you fail us next? I would completely switch to Linux if more games could be played on it. As of now I am dual-booting Windows and Ubuntu Linux.


Seriously though, Microsoft needs to get its act together.

I might be one of the few people that found mhtml helpful (the format that's the cause of all of this). Sometimes you want to download a webpage as a single file with everything in it. I'm using chrome right now, since it's the only reasonable browser out there. firefox proved too unstable. but chrome still annoys me in a way:

> loads a youtube page

> flash player crashes :crazy:

> all the Chrome windows stop responding

>> thinking about killing the "flash" process, to save what's left

>> can't do that because the "flash" process is named "chrome", and there are about 20+ with the same name

> give up and restart the whole thing
OR
>> play russian roulette by randomly killing "chrome" processes

Firefox? Unstable? Firefox is ridiculously stable! At least on Linux it is. Dunno about windoz.

I have 3 firefox browsers open, one for forums and stuff, one for youtubing and stuff, and one for well ... you know. Probably around a hundred tabs open with probably 5+ videos loaded, and no problems whatsoever. All this on a cheap Asus laptop that I bought for like 500 dollars like two years ago.

all right. I might have used a wrong word. it doesn't crash, but stops responding annoyingly often. I'm on windows and haven't used firefox seriously for a couple of months, though. these problems may not happen on other computers, but that doesn't matter as far as I'm concerned :p

the only time I use it is with tor portable. just because that's the downloadable package and I can't be bothered to attach it to other browsers. I don't have much to hide anyway, so I rarely open it. (only for blocked websites)
