As the curse of Australis on Firefox approaches, I think this commenter at Ars Technica said it best.

That so called "unnecessary clutter" consists of all the features that made Firefox so popular in the first place. The Firefox developers are insane and have spent the past 2 years hard at work destroying everything that made Firefox the best browser available.

Iโ€™ve mentioned it before, but I used to advise companies and users I assisted to use Firefox and no other browser. Since the Firefox developers have determined they need to destroy it, I no longer advise anyone to switch to Firefox as you never know what they will take away next.

I personally will keep using Firefox for as long as I can modify it enough to be functional, which takes longer and longer these days (about six hours of work now). But regular users wonโ€™t and generally cannot do this.

Unless youโ€™ve ever done something like compiled your own program, just use whatever the default browser on your OS is, which is probably IE. Firefox is no longer worth switching to and is likely to continue getting worse.

Apple sauce

Apple Devices Flow Into Corporate World.

Having used both iOS and Android OS devices now, itโ€™s easy to see why Apple is winning here. Android might be fine for someone who needs something budget, but iOS vs. Android isnโ€™t even a comparison. Android is a fucking joke of an OS compared to iOS.

Android is clumsy, awkward, counterintuitive and plainly designed by geeks who got to the usual geek stopping point of, โ€œIt works, thatโ€™s close enoughโ€ rather than the Apple point of working absolutely perfectly.

For me, however, Android is fine on a phone as I do almost nothing on it, and thatโ€™s how it will always be. But if I intended to do more than send a text message or two, Iโ€™d upgrade to an iPhone in an instant.
