Phoenix, successor to mozilla

My laptop is an ancient piece of crap. Mozilla does tabbed browsing, and blocks popups, so I only have one window for however many pages I have open. And I can flip directly between them, by looking at the headers (Assuming, of course, that I don’t have too many headers for it to actually show text). Mozilla is a memory hog, though, and my laptop is short on memory. This means hard drive grind is constant, any typing is slow, and mozilla, in general has problems.

Courtesy share&enjoy (the zephyr instance, not the lj group), this morning, I have found phoenix. Great stuff, keeps the memory size reasonable, it’s responsive, and my hard drive has fallen silent. Yay =) phoenix++

  1. have you tried opera? it is by far and away my favorite browser. it does all the shit mozilla does, but better. it runs at least twice as fast as any other browser i’ve used and it’s a tiny program that doesn’t use much memory. the problem is that it is not free for the full version, but you can get a demo version that runs adds for free. check it out

  2. Rarely willing to try a 0.x product, but I’m looking
    forward to using it with antici….

    Sadly, still waiting for those fools at mozilla.org to figure
    out that a <textarea> should be handled by my editor,
    not theirs. Livejournal would be 500% better with that fixed.
