Five reasons to choose Firefox Tons of information

By David Blonde

Here are five reasons why I chose Firefox to navigate and use web applications.

As you may have read me sometimes the browser is probably one of the longest application is active on my computer, so I consider it a fundamental part of my day to day and has run her best. A browser faster in everything he does results in an increase in the speed of my work, so in greater productivity on my part, as resulting in a reduction in the number of problems generated by this software.

course in addition to the purely productive in my choice there are others that have to do with habits, entertainment and even sentimentality . Then there are all reasons why I choose Firefox, but not without doing a little clarification, is that in using the Mozilla browser I can take a different use from a user normal, as long working with the beta of Firefox and especially with nighly builds, so it is likely that the reasons explained here, you may be more recognizable in a few weeks when it launches Firefox 4 or already you are if you use one of the beta versions have been published.

• Continuous improvement: for a while Firefox has been known as being a devourer of our computer resources, which are very strong in the branch of Firefox 3. Fortunately this is something they fixed in Firefox 4 and have been released by different beta has been perfected. The use of a browser is now much better, the same your browsing speed, in fact in the current version I'm using a nighly of the beta build 11, has nothing to envy Google Chrome on speed. If it is true that it is taking longer to open than this, but it is something that has improved and for me there is something really important, because once I open the browser I can have it open until the night when I turn off the computer.

• philosophy regarding extensions: one of the things I always liked best about Firefox is the way he has of doing things, trying to give a browser with basic functions and customize the user at will with the extensions. For example it is the opposite which makes Opera, which often includes many features by default, may be the case that the user would not use them all, something entirely valid, as are two ways of doing things completely valid . The extensions have arrived not long ago to Google Chrome, but Firefox certainly has always had more tradition with these and those who have been using have a number of extensions that make it indispensable. Typically, all extensions will be made compatible with other browsers, but how to use them is not the same in all browsers.

• Synchronizing bookmarks, passwords and history : This is one of the things that people Mozilla has been doing very well lately with Firefox Sync. For some time I have been using Xmarks , a wonderful extension that I have said enough here, but with the arrival of Firefox Sync has been less important, although I still use. The timing is perfect Sync allows a few seconds and allows a browser to have nearly the same conditions on any computer. It just remains to solve the synchronization of extensions, which insurance shall terminate coming soon. And what about Xmarks? As I say I'm still using and it is essential to synchronize bookmarks with other browsers. Sync + Xmarks Firefox is a binomial very important in my day to day with the browser.

• Mozilla is, simply, and while not perfect, I like the way you do the things you have Mozilla. Always have free software but if you focus only on matters related to Firefox, in recent months have seen the different experiments they have done in Mozilla Labs , something we can test any of us and show the benefit of the web, which will also Open Web Apps, which will be a store like Chrome Web Store one that would be compatible with any modern browser.

• I've been using for many years : I put the romance of the past as it is the least, but it contains some things I want to emphasize. As individuals we have customs and often change some habits is very difficult. I've been using Firefox since before the first version and that makes it difficult to stop me using some elements of this browser. But this does not prevent me from test and use other browsers, in fact I do for my daily work so I can know everyone and know to a greater or lesser extent the strengths and weaknesses of each one of the browsers I test.

All these reasons and some others do today and after a long time my favorite browser Firefox remains , although not necessarily, as I have said on occasion, does not mean that other browsers are worse Mozilla's browser. Luckily, in regard to browsers today we have high quality applications and advancing at a rapid pace, the important thing is that we have to choose from and that all options are good quality and this is something that is increasingly coming true more.
