Looking for a new browser...

But then you have to use OSX; isn't that like burning down the house for the termites?
More like burning down the house killing off the termites, then building a bigger, better one without all the problems of the original :laugh: I used to be anti-Apple for a long time but Windows Phone was so bad it pushed me onto iPhone, then Windows 8 came along and finally convinced me to give OSX a go and I haven't looked back. Thinking back on it, it's weird how these anti-Apple/Microsoft/Google sentiments get started? I still use Windows 8.1 but only for .NET development with Visual Studio. For everything else I prefer OSX.
Yeah, I couldn't help myself. Interesting, as I was the exact opposite. I was on iOS, got bored with it (static icons are so 2007), went to WP7 over three years ago and haven't looked back (on WP 8.1 now). I gave OSX a fair shot for about 6 months or so, but I ended up really just using the iMac as a VM server for a Windows image, so that didn't make sense either. So I sold it, built a homebrew that's running Windows 8.1 and couldn't be happier.

Widgets does seem to be the one thing missing from iOS - hopefully iOS8 will make some steps in the right direction.

I was determined to use the Mac as a Mac rather than use it as a Windows machine. There's a learning curve involved, but once you're used to it you can get things done mega-quick. Keyboard shortcut consistency between applications is a big plus. Another plus you get to learn Objective C (and Swift once the final version of XCode 6 is released) if you're that way inclined :-D

I'm kind of done with Chrome. It just doesn't play YouTube sound for some video's. I fixed it once, but it came back for no apparent reason. Well FU Chrome, I'm done with you! So looking at some alternatives. 1. IE. NEXT!!! This wasn't really an alternative to begin with. 2. FireFox. Not bad, used it a while, but still switched to Chrome. Maybe something else? 3. Safari. Nope. Just nope. 4. Opera. Never used it. It's supposed to be good and fast and lightweight... Sounds good! It also has AdBlock and Last.fm scrobbler (my must-have apps). Unfortunately no CP Reputation Watcher, but I guess I'll manage without. 5. Maxthon. Never even heard of it before now. A cloud browser that supposedly makes browsing across different platforms seamless. Great, except that I don't use other platforms for browsing. It probably doesn't have my favourite apps either. So I think I'll try Opera for a while. Does anyone here actually use Opera? What are your experiences?
It's an OO world.
public class SanderRossel : Lazy<Person>
{
public void DoWork()
{
throw new NotSupportedException();
}
}I was an avid Opera user for many years, but then they made some recent changes I was not cool with buy basically switching their original rendering engine over to chrome's, lost a lot of functionality and options. I've been using Torch for the last year and seem to be happy with it (still based on Chrome, but I like the interface better.)
