Fwd: ySlow

[Sergey Chernyshev]

I didn't test the upgrade, but on that note, I use different Firefox profile with Firebug, YSlow, PageSpeed, NetExport and so on, actually have different profiles with some specific configurations and just have a shortcut to launch Firefox using that particular profile.

You can't run two Firefox profiles at the same time (at least on Windows) so I just stopped using Firefox for my daily browsing and use Chrome ;)

One of the most ironic aspects of the performance work our group is about, is that ySlow is giving Firefox an undeserved reputation for slowness. I've disabled it long ago for that reason. Has anyone here tested if the new upgrade improved the situation?

For some reason I stopped liking Chrome...I can't even tell you
why...some subtle usability thing...

Then when I found out what I'm about to tell you, I'm decided to avoid
it like IE.

The merging of the search bar and url bar was supposed to be about
improved usability and saving screen space. But because the searches
have autosuggest...the side effect is that the url bar is like a
keystroke logger sending each letter to Google....

C'mon Joe, don't be too paranoid - you probably send all your data to Google, MS, FBI or KGB already ;)

Haha. True...Hmm...all we can hope for is a Man in the Middle attack ;)
