20 Instant Upgrades to Make Chrome Better than Firefox
20 Instant Upgrades to Make Chrome Better than Firefox
I’ve been a big proponent of Firefox since its inception, but as of late Google Chrome has started to win me over. It’s a lot faster than Firefox, but that was initially because of its bare-bones experience. With the addition of extensions to the mix, Google Chrome becomes quite a compelling alternative to Firefox. If there’s any interest, I’ll post the extensions that I’ve used so far.
How many of you are still clinging to Firefox not because it’s the perfect browser, but because it’s the best alternative out there to Internet Explorer? Probably a good many of you, and the reason why Firefox has been so hard to supplant as the No. 2 gateway to the Web is because Mozilla had the foresight to make it extensible. Thousands of add-ons exist allowing users to custom tailor the open- source browser however they see fit, and it only takes a few mouse clicks to do so.

Patton Oswalt Adds A New Chapter To “Firefly” Universe

If you’re a fan of Firefly like I am, this is some really cool news:
Much like his Buffy the Vampire Slayer universe, the world of Joss Whedon’s space-based series Firefly still manages to live on long after the final episode aired. In June, actor/comedian Patton Oswalt will add yet another chapter to the Firefly universe with a one-shot comic titled Serenity: Float Out, picking up where the 2005 film left off.
