The older versions of Firefox are still available. There is a Windows version of Safari. And there is Opera.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I don't know anything about Safari and Opera. Are there extensions? I love extensions.

Hey. New board.
Why do people hate the new Firefox? I just switched back from Chrome for a trial and am liking it quite a bit.

My only complaint about Firefox is that it is slow to launch initially.
Quick check on this system:
Chrome12: 8 seconds
Safari5: 8 seconds
IE9: 11 seconds
FF5: 16 seconds
YMMV

Hey. New board.
(shrug) I launch it once per boot. It does seem to use a bit more of my CPU than chrome, but I just don't care very much.
Android users: do any of you root your phone? Pros and cons?

Dana,
I switched to Chrome from FF and nearly every extension I want is available on Chrome. Can you tell me which ext you are looking for and I might be able to help you find the chrome alt.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I miss Webmail, which let me check my accounts across various services, and I had a tab manager that grouped tabs by color.

Yay, I have all my webmail back. Thanks!
