Still fucked with Firefox

Actually, my video quality with Firefox on both Netflix and Amazon is far, far better than what I get in Chrome. If I watch an Amazon Prime video in Chrome, I get a brief display of an explicit message suggesting it would better in Silverlight, and the result certainly bears that out. But, again there's more to it than that. As I mentioned, it's problems with page display, presumably scripting issues, etc. Some clients run software that won't work with any version of IE beyond version 9... And won't work with anything other than IE. At a time when browsers should be more consistent in supporting current standards, and more uniform in basic performance, it seems that isn't happening.

I run so many addons, it seems like nothing loads and displays correctly. I do agree with you for the most part...I use FF and Chrome and switch between them depending on what I am doing. It is kind of a pain, but i fondly remember the mess that Nutscrape turned into back in the day and i think I have it pretty good.
