Firefox 4 likes/dislikes

I like that it's faster. I like that it does seem to work better with tor for me. It's okay on the whole.

But I HATE the button placements (wtf is "reload" doing next to the location field???), and that plugin that installs every other plugin under the sun. Can't remember the name of it. I thought it would be cool to install it, and ended up with 40 things at least that I don't need or use, and right after it was installed and FF was restarted, equally as many tabs opened up for each plugin it had installed. Two major suxors there (not to mention the screen space that's stolen in FF by those plugins).

What are your likes/dislikes of FF4?

I have kind of rediscovered it since I have forgotten about it for so long because of the terrible Gif animation stuff. Tor is easy that is good. Somehow I feel that FF is taking up more of my screen than Opera and Iron - they seem to have more space for ... surfing.

Yeah, it's doing the same here.

I find Opera more and more atractive. With that yellow note addon you can write comments on every website. The notes will show up when you revisit that website - nice! :s
