Firefox 4 Will Be One Generation Ahead

An anonymous reader writes "Mozilla's Chris Blizzard talks about the rising competition by Google Chrome, the evolution of the web platform and the prospects for WebM. He also promises that Firefox 4 will be 'one generation ahead' of other browsers in relation to Javascript speed."

Firefox HAS the technical lead over chrome - chrome is a pathetically primitive browser. Who cares about page rendering speed - a few seconds more or less is irrelevant - when we all have terabyte connections then it might matter. You can't even adjust the font size in Chrome! Those discriminative idiots at google apparently don't understand that some of us need to make fonts larger to read them - yeah sure you can zoom into the page as A PICTURE - but that you have a little square open to a huge line and you have to scroll left and right for each line -totally pathetic.

"Maybe you should consider a browser that doesn't need to be bogged down to death to be useable."

Doesn't exist.

"One of the reasons why I use Opera, for example, it's precisely that it does all the stuff I want it to do without me needing to scrape around the web to get extensions that kill it."

Good for you - one of the reasons I don't use Opera is that its a piece of badly designed crap - which for one thing doesn't allow you to change font sizes on the fly (to make pages actually readable) but only allows you to zoom into them as a picture. And the way you can expand it is a joke and lamely designed. Good luck to you.
