Firefox 3.0 too slow for my desktop pc or is it just me?
This is the first day that I have the mood to blog since Eidul Fitr (Hari Raya).
What really caught my attention since the last few days I was away-from-keyboard is the startup time of Mozilla Firefox 3.0 browser on my 7 years old pc (Pentium 4 1.8 GHz) running Ubuntu 7.10, it was noticeably slow, giving me the impression it’s bloated. Was it only me? or does anybody else notice it too?
Currently I use Epiphany to write this post…

My workplace blocks del.icio.us !
For some odd reason, the organization that I work with currently blocks del.icio.us (now delicious.com) social bookmarking service. It categorizes the website as porn (wtf?), they seems to use SquidGuard in combination with websense to block the website.
Oh well, I guest I’ve to reexport all my local bookmark to delicious once I get back home for syncronization purposes.
The Latest buzz: Google Chrome
Looks like I’m the last person to write about Chrome, the latest browser from Google. This is because I do not own a Microsoft Windows machine to test Chrome early on.
I’m sure you can find a lot of great reviews floating around the internet about the latest lightweight browser, so I will not waste your time by rehashing those information here.
What actually caught my attention is the “Create Application Shortcut” found in Chrome, a functionality similar to Mozilla Prism which I’ve reviewed a while back in my blog. This would enable users to create Desktop shortcuts of their favorite Web Application without relying to external application like Prism anymore, everything can be done neatly within a single interface.
With Chrome, Javascript execution (read: ajax’ed website) felt a lot more faster while using much less memory, it looks like this new browser is going to give Mozilla a run for its money.
p/s: Eagerly waiting for Chrome to be available on GNU/Linux platforms.
