Re: Webkit now more popular than Firefox

Until recently Ive never really been too fussy about browsers and have mostly used IE as my "serious" browser of choice 'cos it does the job for me. Ive been trying to like Firefox for the last decade, but have never been able to. In my experiences its heavy, cumbersome, and slow. Plug-ins dont work as often as not, and they can also cause instabilities of thier own. Every now and then a release happens that gives me hope that its being fixed, but without fail a revision or so later its in varying degrees of screwed again.

Enter Chrome.

Never before had a browser stood out as a quality product to me until I started using Chrome. It's light, renders nicely, and "feels" nice (although to be fair its more webkit itself that provides most of the "feel").

Nice to see a product do well on the base of the quality rather than marketting or "anti-marketting". It's not common these days.
Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.
