The new Firefox is ugly. My god, it is ugly.

And not just ugly. Horrible. Have you tried blanking a field after uploading a file yet? Oh, joy. I had to revert to Firefox 2. Tried Opera, Safari, and Internet Explorer and all of them are just as bad or worse, so I'll have to just stick with 2 until someone actually starts to compete with it.

Mozilla tried to fix something that wasn't broken, and I'm pretty sure they're going to pay for it with lost market share.

See, and here I was thinking, "Oh, sure, the new version is ugly, but that just means it must work better than before and have great new features!"

Thanks for destroying all of my dreams.

What are you doing up so late? You're not outside my window are you?

I've been trying Google Chrome for the past few hours, it's pretty great, from what I've seen so far. Wish I had heard Google had taken a crack at a browser before I got my time wasted by Apple.

Why would I do that? I'm just looking at you through the camera.

As for Chrome, the reviews I've read have been...middling. I'll wait until a more polished version comes out.

It is prettier than Firefox, though.

Yeah, I've discovered it can lag a little on some sites. The best option might be to use Firefox until Chrome isn't in beta anymore. Still, though, Firefox 3 made me rage out of my mind, so I'll use Chrome just out of the principal of the matter. See ya.
