I’ve been through too many web browsers lately.

For a very long time, I was using FireFox.  Once version 3 came out, I started to have issues like random crashes.  And the extensions slowed it down A LOT.

So I decided to switch to Google Chrome.  I have been using Chrome for the past month or so and have loved it for the most part; it’s EXTREMELY fast and simple.  However, it has a recurring bug in which radio buttons, check boxes and scroll buttons don’t appear sometimes.  And lately that sometimes has become often.

So I made a switch to Safari today.  It’s also Webkit-based so it’s snappy like Chrome.  But there were a couple very important things I couldn’t adjust that bothered me: the scrolling was way too slow and I hated the tab bar being at the very top of the window.

So I switched to Opera.  So far, so good; I think I can do this.  It’s reasonably fast, easily customizable, but it’s missing an element inspector like Chrome, Safari and FireFox (with the appropriate plugin, of course).

Is there no perfect browser?

Google Chrome now is the tits.  That is all.
