Jonathon Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Hi Larry and anyone else with Dragonfly, A few months back you mentioned Dragonfly, I was just wondering if you're still using it? I got a new system recently (a few months back) and it was the first browser I got other than IE that came installed. But I have to say that I found it even slower than Firefox sadly, I liked the Dragonfly itself, but I couldn't really handle the browser speed, It was even fairly slow loading a local server page. I have moved to Chrome for general browsing and I do feel that it is probably the quickest browser about, I use it if I'm developing in PHP generally, but anything more in depth or that's JS, HTML,CSS based I still use FF and I guess I really use both of them. Just wondered what your experiences with DragonFly were? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Hey Jonathon. I don't use Opera as my primary browser, but I've not had the problems you've experienced. I was using FF as my primary for years, but the performance was terrible and there seemed to be memory leak issues. By mid-day, FF was taking 500MB of RAM! I now use Safari primarily (I'm on a Mac) and Chrome as a secondary. For development I head to Opera or FF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathon Posted September 14, 2011 Author Share Posted September 14, 2011 Hmm, I found it odd, FF is still better development wise for me, but I run it at bare, no add-ons etc because its just too heavy otherwise. I did think it was a shame Opera was just so slow when using Dragonfly for development or just generally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Yeah, that's the thing about FF: it runs fine if you don't add too many extensions, but it's such a great developer's browser because of all the add-ons, which makes it run poorly.
