i used firefox for years, for like a really really long time, because i felt it was the most convenient to use, while still offering a bunch of options and i like to personalize everything i use. firefox allowed that perfectly. i didn't like chrome, cause it simply didn't seem as functional, lacked a lot of options. opera was slow, i was told. firefox made me happy for a long long time, but it simply stopped working one day. it told me it couldn't load my firefox profile and no matter what i tried, it didn't want to work. (rip my so much loved collection of bookmarks)
then i browsed the internet (using IE, cause it was the only one i had installed) in need for a new browser. that was when i stumbled upon maxthon. i was happy. granted it was a bit slower than firefox and less customizable, but it had a great function, which made my life so much easier. it allowed to to opo out all kinds of videoplayers and pin them so that they would always be on the front of my window, which made it easier for me to watch tennis and youtube videos while writing on skype, playing mons or doing whatever.
like this:
and again for some reason that is beyond my understanding it stopped working, this time only for a few certain pages, but reason enough to change browser. since firefox still didn't work (waterfox and similar browser that required a firefoxprofile all didn't work) i had to keep looking for a new browser. that's when i stumbled upon
pale mon. it has been working ok for me, though i really miss the ption of being able to pop out certain flash players (especially my tennis stream).
it's basically firefox with a little bit more freedom
