Have I ranted about how much I love
Firebird?
- I love the mouse gestures I can do. (via extention)
- I love the keyword stuff that lets me take shortcuts to my favorite search places.
- I love the Download Status As Statusbar (via extention).
- I love that it renders decently quickly
- I love that I can stick actions (and not just bookmarks) in the Toolbar.
- It's Free (and Open). Normally I don't use software just because
it's free, but it certainly helps. I use lots of closed-source and
commericial products every day - I even help make some. But it
certainly helps.
There are a few very annoying bugs... like bookmarks deciding not to work. The whole bookmark system is actually quite buggy.
Things I
dislike about the current Firebird status:
- I hate it when bookmarks decide to not to work
- I hate it when bookmarks open in new windows
- I hate it when the old-skool theme is used, instead of my choosen theme, when I open a link from another application
- I hate it when the address bar registers urls as 'undefined'. I can't bookmark them or anything.
- I can't iSync. Please make it public, Apple
But I'm happy, I guess. Switching browsers twice in the same number of months is a little... strange of me I guess. I used
Omniweb solidly for about 3 years I think. To
Safari then to Firebird. Strange world.
