Well, i will confess that i have just made the transistion to Chrome... it's way faster and lighter. It also has most of the same extensions Firefox has... So, Firefox has met her match, and been 1+

Except the hallucinatory conversations have become much, much more fun than real ones. I find talking to what is technically myself quite entertaining.

I don't see a picture-in-picture feature.

I don't know about anyone else, but I much prefer playing youtube videos outside the browser

It's always jarred with me, the fact that youtube is traditionally tied to the browser pane
(It's a video - I want to browse other things whilst watching it....)

I tend to use Totem (default Ubuntu video player) with the youtube plugin thing

I can then sticky the video to all workspaces, and continue to browse the web and flip around my desktops

Much more usable than having video confined to the browser
(added benefit, is the videos are streamed in H.264, rather than flash's crappy swf)

Actually the flash video format is flv, and with flash > 9 it supports H.264 encoding :p
Other than that, moving the video to an external application seems like a great idea.

well, whatever
streaming H.264 via flash via a browser plugin pegs my cpu @ 20%
streaming H.264 straight to my video player = 10%

Actually mario it does have an extension to play youtube videos directly from the browser while surfing the web

I tried to install the adblocker for Chrome...gave up after 30 minutes of trying to sort things out. Not exactly user-friendly...

Really? Maybe you're doing it wrong. I googled "Chrome adblocker", hit the second or third link, clicked "install addon" and bye-bye ads.

I got this thing that involved unzipping files, creating arbitrary directories, installing more add-ons so you could install the one you want, enabling javascript, altering settings...ick. When they get a one-touch button, we'll talk. Until then, I'm sticking to sweet, simple, easy-to-use Firefox...

We're talking. (Note: you need the latest Chrome. It's possible it's still in beta)

Also, the flash blocker is really nice, it blocks all flash until you click on the element you want to activate. Makes surfing so much faster, then there's a add-on tool that, while watching any video in your browser, you click it's button and it dims the entire page except fore the video so that all there is to see is the video, cinema like

Ah, that's better. Thanks!

I wasn't going to say anything about it the first three times I saw this thread.

But you have given SO MANY THANKS, Jesus of Suburbia. And unnecessarily. And I shall keep on topic now that this is out of my system. Please do not thank me for this post Jesus.

This topic has already been delt with.

Um... How?

I have used IE, it wasn't that great, then I used FF, it was okay. But right now I'm using google chrome and i gotta say...I'm likin it more than the other two..

Hehe I like the picture at the start of the thread. Opera won't let you inside completely... I like that in a woman. Opera+me=<3

:3

I've got 15 add-ons installed (literally) which together make it the perfect browser I've got a nice OSX skin that integrates with my windows visual theme, I've got smooth scrolling, i've got my tabs in a sidebar on the left and I can scroll through them by mouse-wheel, etc

Chrome is OK.
Opera I've not tried
IE should die in a fire

Incase you liked chromes speed, you can bring it to firefox via this:

Opera's new beta is now the fastest browser available on Macs. I think it's also the fastest on Windows. Go opera

Fastest by default maybe, but every browser can be tweaked to be extra fast. Plus, I wouldn't trade firefoxes security for the world.

Opera is just as secure as firefox, and same with chrome. It's Safari and IE that're risky.
