[dba-Tech] Browser choices

Hi All:

The browser choices are becoming more difficult. 

IE, according to what the pundits are saying is now stable, fast and
reliable but it only runs on the latest versions of Windows and is not
cross-platform. (Later this more month I will do a thorough test...if I ever
get out from under this damn project I am on.)

Chrome is always fast as usual but talk about bloat...I am sure the browser
gets performance via using as much memory as possible. Good news is that it
is fast and runs on all platforms. Bad news is I feel like a product when I
am using it...so many ads.

Safari is a cute product; somewhere in the middle, not very innovative and
does what you want but does not run on Linux just like Opera and IE.

That leaves FireFox. I have been using it more lately as it runs on
everything out there, comes with an extensive list of feature, the
application is very innovative...leading with latest and greatest (which is
even keeping Google running to keep up), loads a lot faster than before,
does not eat all the memory, has real protection and I don't have to feel
like a product when I am using it.

Someone else is feeling the same way and here is a link to their blog
article on the subject.
