Rally Pat Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 I suppose I will try it, but I am too used to Firefox to change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffmeden Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 What i got out of the comic: it's multithreaded. Wow. Finally I can use all 4 cores in my machine for web browsing! The internets will be like instant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImUrOBGYN Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 I've always used IE, but I've really thought about trying a new browser. Read about this last night and decided I may just give it a shot. I'll wait for them to finish the beta phase first, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GonneVille Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 Probably not. I like my FireFox3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sol740 Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 If its less of a memory hog than firefox, Im all over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unfunnyryan Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 It uses more memory at first, but in the long run it will use less. I'm using it so far and I'm quite happy with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conesmasher Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 What i got out of the comic: it's multithreaded. Wow. Finally I can use all 4 cores in my machine for web browsing! The internets will be like instant! All 4, that's amazing my core5 is maxed out, so I programmed it to only take one so I have 3 free for surfing.

thorne Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 It's way faster plus the seperate process for everything creates a smoother browsing experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pat Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Ive used it for a little bit. Its literally what if Firefox 3 and IE7 made sweet sweet love. I probably won't switch over to it, though. I have too many extensions that I use everyday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted September 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Pretty cool that it uses multiple cores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistedfocus1647545489 Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Using it now. I like alot of the features, but I still can't login to alot of web based applications at work (nor can I log into eBay). I can go there, but can;t seem to load a page after logging in. Something to do with secure sites??? Once they get all this worked out, I may jump ship. This coming from someone who still hasn't embraced Firefox fully as a default (still IE7). Also, spellcheck as you type in message boxes could help many around here . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
