Fox with a lotta teeth.. by Freddy Kruger
From the “Tired of firefox fanboys” dept
Firefox, is an OK browser. It’s not the greatest thing since sliced bread, contrary to what most fanboys say. Heck, some people even say firefox sucks (OMG OMG! Stop Press. Hunt em down!)
Anyway, here are some reasons I personally don’t use firefox.
- It is somewhat slow when loading some web sites.
- Like Google, Apple and Wikipedia, Firefox has a rabid cult following of fans. I’m suspicious of anything which has so many fanboys.
- Some fanboys are obsessive enough to block users who access their websites using IE. Or give annoying little popups begging/threatening/coaxing you to switch to firefox. I think its OK to ask someone to switch to an open source browser, but to specifically ask people to switch to firefox before using your site.. thats plain creepy.
- It is fussy and messes up some web pages which IE renders OK.
- Alternative browsers (IMO) exist. e.g. Opera. To all fanboys: Give people a choice of alternates, don’t just ram firefox down their throats…

I love firefox and I use Firefox on linux and Camino[Fire fox varient for MAC] on Mac. So far I have not had problems with rendering when looking at standards complient sites. If the site uses some crapy MS only style/format then it is not going to look ok in Firefox any way.
About speed the FF rendering engine is much faster then IE as far as I can see.
And I love FF coz it is realy good, not coz of some obsession with it…
