slowday444 Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 with Opera long enough to give it a fair shot, went right back to FF, but I'm thinking about trying avant, even though I probably won't give it a fair chance either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators rridgely Posted November 1, 2005 Moderators Share Posted November 1, 2005 Maxthon is better than avant and I have tried them both. Just remember that Avant and Maxthon are the same thing as using IE which means spyware. Stick with firefox optimized with firetune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like FireFox and it seems to use less memory then the others. Stick with FireFox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobrakommander56 Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Firetune?? Insert random C4 joke here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inu-Ya Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Firetune?? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> FireTune is a Media player Plug-In for FireFox. It can hide the player while surfing the web. I don't use it as I just tell WinAmp and Itunes to minimize towards the System bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slowday444 Posted November 1, 2005 Author Share Posted November 1, 2005 rridgely, I've been using Fire Tune, Flexbeta Firetweaker and the extension Fasterfox. I assume the first two pretty much apply the same tweaks so I'm also assuming there is no performance loss with both applications applied. Fasterfox is just kind of a cache tweak I believe, although F Tune and Firetweaker may also apply the same changes as Fasterfox. Is it indeed alright to run all these over lapping programs at once? I also optimize with TCPOptimizer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However they do have Plug-In very similar to that one - FasterFox 0.7.9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators rridgely Posted November 1, 2005 Moderators Share Posted November 1, 2005 I tried that and firetune is much better. Slowday I would just use firetune. I tried to use fasterfox and firetune and it actually felt like it was slower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Invictus Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 I've been using FasterFox, but that's because it was available as an extension on the Mozilla site. Even though Firetune says it has over 1 million downloads, I think it was be useful to add it on the Mozilla site. Going back to the topic. I tried Avant and Mathon and was hardly impressed. Been using Opera for a while but now stick with FireFox because of the useful extensions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
