$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('nemo', 'D')oes it have anything similar to the Adblock plugin for Firefox?


Yes, but I don't remember the name.

Safari now moves slower than Explorer.

I wonder what happened.

I know. Same thing happened here. But my overall computer speed is better than a few weeks ago due to a lack of spyware. It's a bit more convenient so I'm keeping it. But I still have FireFox for when Safari pisses me off too much.

I tried it and let it go. It’s cute and it transferred all my bookmarks etc. without a problem but only in one area has it surpassed FF – the initial boot up. For some reason FF is always slow when first accessed, though since it’s only a matter of seconds, it’s no big deal. I’m running XP on an Acer laptop with dual core 1.66Gh processor and 2Gb RAM. I don’t like the presentation, the fonts and an aggressive Apple presence lurking just beneath the surface. I still have it as a backup though since I took the trouble to install it. FF works just fine, page refreshes are slick. Any speed problems are invariably to be found with the target website and/or the web traffic or ISP related issues.

I just installed FF for the first time and I like it.

We'll see how it goes after I've had it a while.

I sure wish I knew what caused Safari to start off fast and then slow to a crawl.

I'm still using Safari and I still like it.

It's faster, or seemingly faster, on pulling up the VPSLV.

FF rocks. To get the most out of though, there are some fantastic plugins available. Adblock is the most important one IMO, but there's a huge variety.

The server(s) are more responsible for the slowness here than the browsers. Posting in particular takes ages to go through, and the database often goes down.
