Hi all, So, in a mix of rant-and-feedback-gathering - is it just me, or have browsers largely gone downhill in the last few months?
Chrome: freezes continually with 1mb view source. Seems more worried about trying to get me to login to the mothership and track my social networks, than actually being a browser that can download text from a web server. And, if I would so happen to want to reload a page (crazy, right?), it's so hell-bent on caching everything that I have to restart it to see any new content - control-r, forget about it. Guess they want their browser to be "fast" :) Firefox: what happened to my friend?!? Great, now we get a new release every few minutes, but it crashes, can't correctly repost a form (everything is always expired), view source hangs or won't display the source of a POST, and it won't even copy the HTML out of Firebug into a text editor... control-c doesn't capture anything! Not to mention it's using 800mb of my RAM and renders pages about as quick as a 286. IE9: so, disable cache for all requests; that's handy. Fast, but will actually re-request the page from the server when told to do so. Developer tools aren't great, but it's not using 1gb of RAM either. View source is, eh, well... These are all the latest version of these browsers. Though right now the best I've found is: wget -O - test.site/something | less So that I can actually see what the server is spitting back - and it works like a charm :) So am I missing something here, or... anyone else having these types of problems (more so) of late?
