Firefox, web Browser or Propaganda? - FactsPosted on Wednesday, June 25th, 2008 under Digg Reviews |
This article is written by a good friend of mine and he has asked me to keep his name hidden, but I also agree to his points to some extent.
Well, before I start writing this review, I must tell you that Firefox makes me sick, so I thought this review was necessary for atleast my loyal readers, its upto you whether or not you use it. The details below is how I see Firefox, even though I still think it needs a lot of improvements, or a complete redo or abandon the project completely. You must know the facts before downloading FireFox.
Well the very first words about FireFox are:
FireFox is a web browser, which has been making false claims since years.
Fact Sheet
Why many peoples are using this crap?
Well, people want change and few other people take advantage of this habit of human being. Everybody knew that Microsoft provides the best technology and is on top, anyone who tries competing Microsoft brings up his/her own disabilities in front of public just like FireFox did. Someone launched a new web browser claimed to be:
Fast Browser : To hell with the ones call FireFox fast, how on earth you can decide its faster than any other browser. FireFox loads Damn Slow on almost any latest machine. The ones created it tell the reason that Cold-Start is slow but later it is fast. Cold-Start on a latest P4 is more than 1 minute. Do not tell me that FireFox is fast on Core 2 duo. Everything is fast on that machine. And 95% people don’t have this processor. Here are the facts to confirm you FF is damn slow.
Fact 1:
We turned off all add-on’s in both FireFox and Microsoft Internet Explorer, we restarted system, and launched IE first for Cold-Start testing on Pentium 4, IE started in 4 seconds and next start was half second means 500 milliseconds. Then we switched to test FireFox and it displayed the GUI after 1 minute and 43 seconds, next warm starts were like 4 seconds. You still call it fast?
Fact 2:
FireFox developers tried their best to make a browser that runs on almost all well known operating systems, such as Linux, Mac and Windows. This was the very first mistake towards creating an instable Web Browser. FireFox is built using wxWidgets which is a cross-platform library and, which itself is damn slow and bulky framework. It’s layout manager eats up the CPU even in a small single dialog based application. So fact 2 is wxWidgets makes FireFox even slower.
Fact 3:
Users scrapped old-fashioned browsers like Netscape Communicator, world’s moving towards adoption of what is best, and once Microsoft Internet Explorer was launched with updates all started using Windows’ native browser rather than paying just for nothing. That was I think Microsoft IE 4 or 5. Opera Browser revived very quickly by providing cross-platform capability. But few developers wanted to get popular by providing a web browser, so they adopted engine of Netscape Browser and put a new wrapper on it, this new strange vehicle is called FireFox today. Gecko is the name of the engine being used behind FireFox, which itself has no comparison with great speed of Internet Explorer Engine. So 3rd time FireFox is slow.
FireFox is not genuine effort towards building a web browser, but a strange vehicle built using parts of old scrapped vehicles.
FireFox is Fancy:
Showing just a fancy interface does not attract serious users, 90% amongst all the FireFox users are teenagers who have only concern about the fancy look of their application. It’s fanciness also puts a hell of load over the load time.
Man get out of the fast operating system Windows, you do not deserve to be available for Window.
Secure: Really? upto what extent?
Does it save me from spyware?
Does it save me from malware?
Does it save my PC from trojans?
Does it detect keyloggers on my System?
Does it save me from executable viruses?
Does it save me from hackers getting into my PC from unknown port?
Does it have any firewall?
No other browser does all above, then why is FireFox claimed to be secure?
Then how the heck it is Safe? It saves my passwords asking me for each site I visit, and if I mistakenly hit yes, I cant find a way to reverse it easily. FireFox simply includes a popup blocker that all other browser do have, what FireFox does extra is let not the document viruses come with images, that’s all. Does it mean it is most secure one? Heck.
Why FireFox is Junk?
Because every operating system has its native web browser, then why the heck there is a need of new browser, which is not that good after knowing all of the above facts.
Linux– Konquerer
Windows – Internet Explorer
Macintosh – Safari
Opensource but you don’t know programming:
They already have, and do not need aliens coming in, who knows, what does FireFox send to Mozilla server and collects from Mozilla server without your permission. You have never been into code of this thing, and probably wont get into it because you are not a developer.
FireFox is good tool for hackers?
YES, users can manually edit cookies in FireFox; see the cookies and use for whatever purpose.
Finally – FireFox is propaganda not a web browser
SAY NO TO THIS PROPAGANDA AND TELL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT THESE FACTS AND USE YOUR NATIVE WEB BROWSER THAT COMES WITH YOUR OPERATING SYSTEM. AFTER READING ALL ABOVE, IF YOU STILL WISH TO CONTINUE WITH FIREFOX THEN I WON’T SAY YOU ARE NOT STUPID.
Don’t email me telling me what is good or bad, I tried to open your eyes and if you want to keep them closed, do it, it wont harm me.
I have no personal dispute with Mozilla Foundation and/or any interest attached with Microsoft Corporation, What I see is what I write. Its upto you which one you use, I am a windows user and I prefer Internet Explorer because its faster and I also have installed Firewalls to protect myself.
