“Firefox 4 Still Can’t Beat Google Chrome: 10 Reasons Why”
What a load of bull… “Firefox loads too slowly”, but faster than Chrome… “Browsing is still slow”, but will probably be faster than Chrome once retained layers land… “A multicapable address bar is missing”, and everybody’s happy because of that… “Ease of use is gone”, because it’s a work in progress… “Moving tabs is a pain”, because it’s a work in progress, and it will work as in Chrome or Windows 7… “The design lacks intuitiveness”, no it doesn’t and it’s a work in progress… “HTML5 is nice, but expected”, and yet Firefox is and is going to be the browser that best supports HTML5 and Mozilla is at the head of HTML5 development…
What a misinformed soul…
I could get 100 reasons why Chrome still doesn’t beat Firefox 3.6, let alone 4.0.
