The good and the bad of new stuff

Well, I’m not being good at keeping posts up. This shouldn’t suprise anyone, but oh well. Let’s go through the bad first.

Well, those new browsers that I announced aren’t exactly what I would call great products. IE7 is a pretty good browser with only the occasional crash. I really do like the updates, but it isn’t to what I liked with extensions of Firefox 1.5. It’s Firefox 2.0 that I’m really disappointed in. It absolutely is not stable. It crashes way too often for me. I would suggest using 1.5 until 2.1 comes out. You can check out the old firefox releases.

And now for some good news. Well, I installed Opera 9.2 recently and was again very happy with Opera. It also had an auto-rss widget maker so you can add the rss feed form this site to opera by clicking the link that’s on the left. It’s still my favorite browser, though it isn’t supported by a lot.

Also, the Fleck beta has started. It’s a web addition that allows for centralized notes to be taken about web pages and either keep them for yourself or send them to your friends. I’m not sure exactly how public the notes are, but it seems like it will be useful when looking up information. It doesn’t work in IE or Safari yet (and I haven’t tried Opera or anything obscur), but it supposedly works in Firefox (I haven’t tested). It looks cool. You should try it out…

That’s all for now.
