mozilla
i recently tried mozilla 1.4 rc1 and rc2. unfortunately it crashed every time i opened it (apparently i’m not alone). so i switched to mozilla firebird 0.6 (mozilla’s new browser-only product), but i had problems with the personal toolbar and missed the progress icon in the upper-right. it loads really fast, but my home page (google) seemed to take several seconds to load/render the first time. this first-time delay plagued a bunch of websites. so i’m back to trusty mozilla 1.3.1 and it makes me so happy to see my personal toolbar bookmarks and folder, and my calming pinball theme.
have i also mentioned that gestures rocks? it’s almost unbearable using IE once you’ve gotten accustomed to using mouse gestures. (for the uninitiated: imagine going back to a mouse without a scrollwheel). my fav recently discovered gestures preference: the ability to configure the “mouse trails” so you can see the gesture. too cool!
