Personally, I find Firefox kind of slow in the recent versions. Starting Firefox seems to take forever.

I like Google Chrome the best, it's fast, dependable and has nice navigational features.

IE lost me a while ago because of it's bugs.

It took 3 revisions in the rapid release insanity to get Firefox and Adobe Flash to play nice together. There are still some issues with the two.

Several add-ons/extenstions ceased existence because the developers didn't have time to keep up with the frequent FF releases.

Flash is one of the harbingers of the Apocalypse. :-)

Oracle has switched their support site from Flash to HTML 5 and I couldn’t be happier. It would be great if HTML 5 starts to be more broadly accepted and puts that buggy, POS Flash to rest.

Has the time come for them to have a “compatible schism” of the browser?

That is, a complicated, bells and whistles version for developers and other advanced users, and a streamlined version for those who just want to use the browser, and what developers develop for it, but don’t want to futz around with additional gizmos, thingamabobs and other performance inhibitors themselves.

I don’t want a browser IDE, I want a browser to workee. They should figure out why the games on facebook run 5 times faster on all the other browsers and fix that.
