CometBird is Firefox. But with 5 extra addons.

CometBird would be like if HP got the Ubuntu source code, installed things you'd never use onto it, replaced all instances of the Ubuntu logo and the word "Ubuntu" with "HP" and called it HP-OS. Exactly the same as Ubuntu, but with about 100MB of bloatware on it.

1200264 2011-05-08 07:26:00 I still find FF4 much slower to load than Chrome (or IE9) - might have something to do with the number of addons I have in FF (some of which are still disabled because the developer hasn't bothered to upgrade his app :mad:), but I have a similarly large number of extensions in Chrome.... johcar (6283)

1200266 2011-05-08 08:50:00 If you;d asked me a month ago, I would've said Firefox. But I started recently using Opera 11, because Firefox was becoming annoying and bloated/slow (since v4), and I'm loving it so far. I have a few niggles with it, but it's much more responsive and overall I like it more than Firefox (and IE9 over Firefox now!).

Can't stand Chrome, too basic. Hell, you can't even display the bookmarks bar when browsing a page!

Isn't that what HP, Compaq and dell do to windows anyway?
