The author is a self admitted idiot. how can you work in the IT field reviewing browsers, know about and explicitly mention firefox's user community bug reporting system, and yet not figure out why you have a memory leak.

Also, everything he said Maxthon has that Firefox doesn;t, well, I'm running firefox 2 and I have everyone of those options.

Worst of all, perhaps, is that the Maxthon browser is actually better than Firefox. That is, it offers all of the features we have come to know and love on Firefox - tabbed browsing, adblocks, skins, plugins - together with several innovative ideas, such as automatic detection of RSS feeds, built-in Babel Fish translation, quick links to Google's cache, mouse gestures as standard, and plugins for Gmail, Hotmail, Bloglines, and coComment already installed.

autdetection of RSS - Live Bookmarks and/or Sage

built in translation - http://backword.gneheix.com or https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/3361/

quick links to google cache - Diggler - use force version compatibility extension first: http://diggler.mozdev.org/

mouse gestures as standard - Firefox2 has several competing gesture extensions

plugin for gmail - that' s a 1 minute change to chrome to make right click go to gmail or yahoo mail or gmail, or use http://www.addonzilla.com/index.php?mod=content&read=5 to put a gmail yahoo or whatevermail icon on a toolbar

Blogging quicklinks - firefox2 has plugins for at least 2 dozen blog sites and backends.

As for working with CoComment this author is straight out lieing, or was hoping so few of his readers use it they wouldn't notice he is pulling shit out of his arse. CoComment and maxthon are simply incompatible at this time. There is a big warning on cocomment.com's compatibility page describing how maxthon doesn't work with cocomment, and how a firefox/flock/netscape greasemonkey script makes it extremely easy to use CoComment with the mozilla forks.

I want to get paid to right total garbage and not have to make coherent commentary.

Never heard of Maxthon, but 1) no interest in a Chinese browser and 2) what a terrible name for any product!

Can you explain this? Does the bug reporting system increase Firefox's memory requirements? Should it be turned off for better performance? I haven't had Firefox crash on me in months, so if I'm "wasting" memory with the Talkback extension I'd rather get rid of it.
