perhaps there should be a "product" forum.

it might just be me, but ttf is up on consumerism of goods--whether it's software, hardware, or anything else. i know that i research the hell out of most everything before i buy.

i posted about 15 reviews on bhphotovideo.com last week. i should probably cross-post them here. the same with my amazon reviews and all my other reviews.

on Windows? depends. I use Firefox because of Opera's lack of SOCKS proxy support. otherwise I'd use Opera. Chrome felt weird to me and Safari I haven't really given a chance.

I loved Chrome but it kept crashing on me, so I'm back to the bloatware that is Firefox3.

safari on windows sucks because of the font rendering. please don't use safari, fellow typography lover!

true, safari has pretty blunt typography.

I've never liked Opera. Never worked perfectly and just always seemed clunky. But, keep in mind, I haven't used it in nearly 5-ish years.

yeah, it's actually pretty slick lately. the lack of SOCKS support kills it so hard for me though.

I have Firefox 3.1. Rather nice, so I use it.

I also use Safari, IE8 and Opera for testing websites.

i <3 foxmarks, firebug, and fireshot. i don't know if the other browsers have such plugins.

firebug is so helpful for web development--

I installed opera 11 on debian last night. I am very impressed. so far it is noticeably quicker than chrome and I think I like the looks of it better. it also has a flashblock thing built in.

Opera has by far been the best browser for several years now.

Yeah, I mainly use surf for my browsing, but some websites cause horrendous memory leaks in it ... so my backup is also Opera 11.

And we're both running dwm on debian ... how did that happen? :p

After reading about Arch Linux, I kinda wanna go that route instead. It's like BSD/Linux.
