    And if the Password Recovery doesn't work (there was an error transitioning accounts during the upgrade), use the "contact us" link right down the bottom right of the forums and harass us about it. Include your account name and its e-mail address (or whatever parts of it you remember).

Once you have passed the moderation period (think of it as a test), you will be able to post normally, just like all the other retards.

    Dear Firefox,

    I know we've been together a long time, but I don't think we should see each other any more. It's not me, it's you.

    I was really unhappy with IE, and Netscape Navigator refused to grow our relationship, so when I met you, you seemed so perfect. Everything about you seemed catered to my whims. You looked like whatever I wanted to dress you in, even wearing some MSPaint skins I made for you. You also had so many ways to keep me safe and happy went I went out into the Matrix.

    But something happened to you. I don't know, maybe you thought I was getting too picky by wanting to effortlessly move between a private session to public. You really started to put on weight. Sometimes even when you were just sitting on the couch staring at the TV, I could feel this overwhelming sluggishness even affect the other things I was doing. I don't know if it was spite or just laziness, but it was very hurtful.

    I also don't know why you kept changing your number so often. I used to know exactly who you were. Now every time I look up, you tell me how much better you are and how things will be different this time around. I just got tired of trying to keep up with all your changes.

    I need you to sit down for what I'm going to say next. I met someone else. Well, we've both known him for a long time. His name isn't important. Oh, all right, don't get angry. It's... it's Google. I know you think he's just a search engine, but I have to tell you, he's got a lot going on, and he doesn't leave his shit lying all over my floor.

    Anyway, it's best that we just make a clean break with this. I'll always remeber the good times we had, especially with your friend NoScript, but that's in the past. I'm moving on and you should, too.

    Sincerely,
    waywardOne

    Even so, as bad as Firefox is, she's still good at one thing, blowjob in epub. Oh yeah~

    Chrome is far from being that good anymore. It eats ram like crazy, crashes inexplicably, has many important features missing like tracking prevention and a master password, and most of all Google keeps getting ever creepier with it. Notice how hard they try to get you to sign into your Google account, so that they can track every single thing you do. Not that they don't already do it.

    Opera is now my favorite browser.

    Time to check Maxthon 3 or Avant Browser, OP. Even SRWare Iron is better than Botnet Chrome.

    It may suit your needs.
    How is that any different from Google's browser?

    I tried Opera years ago trying to escape IE. It felt very unintuitive.

    Google's tracking was the main reason I didn't use it sooner. As it is, I just don't give a damn anymore. I only check email once a week, so not logging in is already a habit. I've got a purging app that clears just about everything off the entire computer at shutdown, so I don't care about that, either. I am sort of perturbed at the lack of a flash downloader. Other than that, no problems.

    Exactly, Chrome was the reason why they adopted that stupid numbering scheme in the first place.
    Well, at least you have the "real thing" now.

    Only to the untrained mind.

    Opera has been my favourite browser for possibly over a decade. I still remembered when it had ads in it.

    True BROs use Opera.

    Been using Firefox since it came out. Still the best, IMO. Not that I've tried anything else for years but it works perfectly fine. Why change.

    Now I feel like I have to switch away from Opera because HHR uses it. Great.

    All browsers are awful but at least firefox has some good extensions and hot cosplayers.

    It's pretty easy to de-Web2.0 Firefox by toggling options in View, by the by.

    Alex, why does he need that; Isn't everything it does already here to begin with?

    I still stick with Firefox because, unlike the others, if there is something I don't like about it, someone somewhere has figured out a way to modify it. Don't really have a problem with speed or crashes or memory consumption, and I use a ton of tabs. *shrug*

    There is no mainstream browser which consumes too much RAM. People paying attention to miniscule fluctuations are just mentally wanking themselves if they think it makes any real difference.

    I don't know, he said 'effortlessly' so I thought, maybe a button would be cool. I'm not sure what he meant. :)

    Pressing Ctrl+Shft+P is a lot of work, obviously. :decline:

    Yeah pretty much the reason I use it.
