Casper Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Not bad. I need to test it out some more, but I think I might like this better than Firefox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblosser Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 I've been using it on Crunchbang (#!), a.k.a. Ubuntu 9.04 with Openbox, for 3 or so weeks.Love it. Loads in maybe a quarter second where Firefox is about 4 or 5 seconds.Set the Home Page to the "use new tab" option - my favorite feature, tied with the speed pages are rendered.Get the occasional (twice, maybe 3 times) lock up trying to play some pr0n video but other than that it's good.

I dig that.I'd make a comment about how nice the penguin is but I'd be labeled a zealot, trying to spread my religion, when I <should> know that I can't do anything on Linux except maybe run Apache, and only then if it's on a server, at a corporation.

skrewloose Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 (edited) debian squeeze-me, please-me .... need more testing but start up to browse is faster than firefox but page loads are close to being on-par (bit faster in chrome), some javascript runs faster, but some also crashes... **Compared with firefox with browsingsafety features off, pipelining enabled, cache parent_directory set to a tmpfs (ram), ipv6 disabled, and a few other tweaks.The new tab home page is like opera's ... no big deal... but clean and functional, been using opera more often (over firefox) b/c of this feature ... don't like how the last tab being closed,closes browser, maybe should close the page and return to a new tab ... leave the closing of the browser to program close "X" ...*edit - firefox 3.6 has been released - for having "enhancements" .. not impressed with speed. Still playing though. Edited January 21, 2010 by skrewloose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
