Carl finally showed me something I didn’t know anything about… Foxposé is a pretty awesome FireFox plugin that turns your opened tabs into minature thumbnails, creating an effect similar to Mac OSX’s Exposé. Now that’s pretty damn cool. Even Windows users can enjoy a small piece of Mac.
Remember a while back I decided to use Opera full time? Boy, what an experience. The interface took me a week to kind of get used to. I must say that Opera’s interface is not very intuitive at all, or as what UI designers would say, poorly conceived “affordance“. And then I had to deal with it sporadic crashes on random sites. Worst yet, I can’t download the latest build in hope they may have fixed the problem in one of the builds. That’s when one starts to appreciate Open Source software… You can always get nightly builds of your software of choice, and there’s always the chance one of the developers would have addressed the issue you are dealing with…
Armed with Foxposé, I installed SessionSaver .2 (for Firefox 1.5, install this version instead), Yahoo Companion (the feature I missed the most on Internet Explorer) and StumbleUpon, I am going to try to use Firefox 1.5 full time for a while to see how the new version fares on memory management. Carl swears by Camino (Mac only), but I just don’t see its value without all the cool plugins Firefox enjoys. I am also tempted to switch to Thunderbird since Apple Mail has been doing a piss poor job on filtering out the latest junk mails. Ah~ Open Source…
