Minefield Shows the (Really) Fast Future of Firefox

zootropole writes "If you are using Firefox 3 (or even Chrome) you should consider taking a look at Mozilla's Minefield. This browser (alpha version yet, but stable) would give a new meaning to 'fast browsing experience.' Some Firefox extensions aren't supported, but riding the fastest javascript engine on the planet definitely worth a try. Minefield's install won't affect your Firefox, so there's no risk trying it. It's fast. Really. And I'm loving it." Reviews popping up around the web are overwhelmingly positive, calling the upcoming browser crazy fast, blisteringly fast, etc.

Too bad that nobody uses it.

Re:Competition and economics

[apathy maybe]

Please explain? Just calling me a hypocrite automatically gets you +5, but let's see you justify your assertion.

I didn't choose to be born in this system, yet I am forced to live in it. Going off into the woods will not let me escape government and capitalism (governments will tax you if they can, land tax, or whatever, and if you don't own the land, they'll do you for trespass). And even if I could, it isn't plausible for all those who object to the system to up and leave. Leave hospitals, schools etc.

OK, so I can't leave, what can I do? Make do with the position I'm forced into.

So go on justify your claim that I'm a hypocrite for using technology (even when I never said anything about it), even when I hate capitalism. I bet you would saying something about capitalism producing the technology. Does that mean you endorse slavery because the USA was built upon it? Oh, and capitalism isn't the only system to have produced technology... I bet you support feudalism because guns were invented in that time.

Re:Competition and economics

I'm an anarchist. I hate capitalism because it removes freedom. It is a hierarchical system, reliant on the state. Capitalism is freedom only for a few, where as I want freedom for everyone.

I don't have a problem with competition as such. And competition isn't the same as capitalism (neither are markets). Capitalism is a complex economic system that is much more then just markets and competition. There as to be the "right" to unlimited ownership of resources, the "right" to own land which isn't being used by the "owner", the "right" to collect rent and interest, be able to make a profit beyond what it cost to make a product (as opposed to "Cost the limit of price"), etc.

As for the other stuff, OK. I'm not really interested in getting into a long debate about browsers and what their makers get from making them. I don't agree with everything you wrote, but whatever.
