No longer using Firefox 3.0 by Rod Trent at myITforum.com

I uninstalled Firefox 3.0 – finally.  I promise someone I would try it out for a week, and I did.  But, I was seriously counting the days for when I could initiate the uninstall sequence. For me, Firefox’s improved speed was not enough to get...

Why Firefox 3.0’s Phishing feature is faster than Microsoft’s? by Rod Trent at myITforum.com

I posted the other day about how IE7 runs just as fast as Firefox 3.0 if you turn off the automatic Phishing check in IE. When Phishing is turned on IE7, IE7 contacts a Microsoft server somewhere to check against a database of known bad sites.  It...

Turning off automatic Phishing in IE makes IE just as fast as Firefox 3.0 by Rod Trent at myITforum.com

This is interesting.  If I turn off the option to automatically check web sites for Phishing, IE7 is just as fast as Firefox 3.0. So, how does Firefox 3.0 do Phishing checking quicker than IE?  Or does it do it at all anymore? I’ll have to check...

Firefox 3.0 even blows Opera 9.5 away by Rod Trent at myITforum.com

For speed, Firefox 3.0 appears to be the fastest browser on my computer right now.  I loaded the latest version of Opera to test it against Firefox 3.0, and Firefox 3.0 won! Opera wins on layout appeal.  Tabs work the way they should straight...
