Chromed

Mozilla has in recent months been peeing in my cereal bowl, with their increasingly common "screw the end user" attitude. It's been getting more and more difficult to distinguish Mozilla from Microsoft. The vegetable matter that finally fractured the camel's spine was a forced upgrade to Firefox 3.5.2 -- which then summarily disabled all of my freqently-used extensions and add ons, as none of the developers had been given time to deploy updates.

So, thus enraged, I kicked the fox to the curb and began casting about for alternatives. When the fur settled to the floor, I was using Google's Chrome browser. I recommend you give it a look; watch the short intro videos at the link, which describe the browser's features. It will import everything, including password saves, quite painlessly. Of the new features it introduces, the frequently-visited links that show up when you open a new tab is probably the best idea I've seen in web tech since the introduction of tabbed browsing.

Chrome is innovative, fast, streamlined, intuitively designed, and non-intrusive -- all of the things, in other words, that Mozilla used to be, but is no longer.

UPDATE: Upon further evaluation, a serious flaw in Chrome has been revealed: no ad blocking extensions. Not good. Well, back to the search.
