I like my browsing to be fast and snappy so I decided to find out which browser is the best. I fired up Firefox 3.6.8 and there was nothing snappy about it. Opera 10.60 must be better I thought, after all it is the "fastest browser on earth". Not so, it simply is not. So I was left with Chromium 6.0.478.0 (53895) (boy what a long number!) and it popped up fast and snappy. So I find myself using it, even if i do not like the collection of data that Google does, at all! Google knows when I pick my nose, when I go to the toilet, what I eat and my favorite drink. Why bother? "You have not done anything criminal" you might say, and you would be right. At least here where I live. - Come to think of it: I did accidentally touch a womans breasts on the beach the other day, and there is a death penalty for that in Iran.

I also might have drawn some religious figures in school in my childhood days. There is a death penalty for that in some religions.Thanks to Google those guys would know all about it too. So when I get the top job in BP - you have to admit my chances are good (who else would want it?)- I will have trouble doing it, because I will not be let in to the big oil project in that distant country . It is a bit like the apple (No! not the Ipad) Eve gave to Adam - he knew he shouldn't take it, and he did anyway. So WHY do I do it? Because it is the fastest If it is fast enough, sexy enough, big enough, tempting enough I take it! It is true you know; Man is not able to learn from history: (which has thought us that, that kind of information will be abused - as certain as Amen in the church)

So I find myself using Chromium even if it is going to cost me the top job in BP....

I know this sounds really really strange, but I find myself checking out Midori more and more...

Well there is a difference between being tempted and sell your soul to the Devil. You are talking about about the Managed code operating system that is being developed by Microsoft right?
Technically Microsoft has it's moments (don't tell anyone) but the open hostility - yeas war - against open source and Linux in particular, is stupid and dirty.
Yes they want to protect their market shares and their money - thats OK if you accept the concept of business - but the methods are not.
Is it that tempting?

PS I was a god boy again while writing this in Firefox, with the Google sharing plugin enabled. It is the risk junkie in me that occasionally leads me into temptation, I guess

No, nothing Microsoft here.

I'm talking about the Linux browser...

Aha I thought you were talking about this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midori_%28 ... _system%29

I will have to take a look at that browser - it is new to me,

Nah. I wouldn't put an operating system in a browser thread.

It's in the Mandriva repos, or used to be.

urpmq --sources midori

It's in Fedora, too.

yum install midori

Arch I haven't checked yet.

I Just installed it in Mandriva.
Funny thing I stated it an it crashed after 10 sec. It just vanished. Restarted it and all was good. Looks simple and it is appears to be fast to. But i will have to test it on my "slow box" to be sure....

It actually crashed on me too last night. Filed a bug report in Fedora.

They're gonna regret abrt in Fedora. I've got so many bugs going now it's not funny. LOL.

Yeah it is a testing ground for Red Hat. Thank God for the stability of Arch.
