I use FireFox 2.0 and Internet Explorer 7, but I kinda start favoring more to IE, it did improve a lot since IE 6. :pinch:

*If only IE7 have Adblock and that extension where it can save all my bookmarks, I am happy!

Thanks guys for the replies. Did not know of TMP. Had it installed and yeah it's a great thing to have. I am using it with FF 1.5 and I'll soon have it installed on FF2.0.

I must say that add ons like Avant Browser for IE 6.0 and below have tabs and lots of functionality and things like restoring sections (for which many people now are using FF with TMP) for many years.

TMP is very nice to have. Great find.

I am still on dial up and when I am online I open lots of pages (10-30 at a time) then I disconnect and spend the next hour reading them. Therefore I really need a browser which can handle tabs well. I think FF 1.5 is the perfect version of FF so far.

I also think that the FF team rushed FF2.0 just because MS was about to release IE 7.0 and the FF team needed a version which ended with a rounded figure (thus FF 2.0). In fact it should have been 1.5.x.x or 1.6.

We wait for the next version of FF which shall come out sometime in March / April 2007 and hopefully it will be a worthwhile upgrade.

The tabs in FF2.0 is rather weird and difficult to navigate to. In earlier versions all the tabs were on screen while now it 'rolls' over making it difficult to navigate through. :no:

i have moved back to FF 1.5.

Are you happy with the new tab set up in FF 2.0?

Erm... what 'roll'? Post a screenie please.

>Erm... what 'roll'? Post a screenie please.

what I meant is that in all versions of FF (before 2.0) all the tabs opened just filled one line in the browser. But as from version 2.0 less than 10 tabs fills the space and then you get a button in the extreme right and you have to press it to see the other tabs that you have opened.

This make it quite difficult to navigate through the pages as you cannot see instantly what pages you have opened and you have to constantly press the button to come to the pages you want. I find it a real chore as I open lots of pages at a time.

This is the reason why I reverted to version 1.5. But I am using TMP now and it's fine so far.

Why did you downgrade to 1.5 when it's very easy to change the default tab behavior in Firefox 2.0?

I tried FF 2.0 when I put together my new dual core system last month but found the behavioral changes rather unfamiliar when compared to FF 1.5 so I went back to using 1.5.0.8

Almost all of the behavioral changes in 2.0 can be changed to act more like 1.5.x if you so desire.

Ah yes, the power of customization. A fact that so few seem to conceptualize. Firefox 2.0 has this key element and I think people would rather take the easy route and downgrade. Where's the personal ingeniuty that allow people understand the tools they're using?

To be fair, most people aren't aware of the about:config menu, because it's not mentioned very often in the standard documentation.

Frankly I have been trying to look for ways to revert the new tab layout in FF2.0 back to the style in FF 1.5 but could not find how to do it! So, kindly explain how it can be done.

Also can someone explain how the about:config is used.

Thanks for the input.

    • Ahh, I didn't know that. It makes sense. I was thinking I would be fine with 50 hours, but 100 is close enough that I wouldn't feel like I am paying for more than I am using. I might check it out sometime.
    • Google's next-gen Tensor AI chips might be produced by Samsung, report says by Hamid Ganji Image via Google Google’s Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) is produced in collaboration with companies such as Broadcom and TSMC, but a recent report suggests that the search giant is in talks with Samsung to hand over part of the production to the Korean tech company. According to a report by The Information, citing people familiar with the matter, Google has begun talks with Samsung about using its chip manufacturing capacity for the next generation of Tensor AI chips. Google’s upcoming TPUs are reportedly codenamed “Icefish” and will be produced using Samsung's 2-nanometer process technology. Meanwhile, Samsung is expected to produce only a portion of the next-generation Tensor chips, with most of the production remaining at TSMC. The Information says the new Tensor chips are currently in the design stage and are scheduled to enter mass production in 2028. TSMC is generally considered one of the most reliable chip manufacturing partners and is trusted by tech giants such as Apple and Google. However, the growing demand for TSMC’s AI chips, combined with the company’s focus on meeting demand from AI data centers, has reportedly prompted Google to seek additional manufacturing partners for its next-generation TPUs. Besides Samsung and TSMC, Intel could also be assigned part of the production. The Information reported this week is that Google has begun talks with Intel to produce up to three million TPUs in 2028. However, this is not the first time Google has partnered with Samsung on chip production, as Samsung has previously manufactured Tensor chips for Pixel smartphones. Google’s Tensor Processing Unit is used in cloud data centers and competes with NVIDIA’s chips, which currently dominate the market. By relying on in-house chips, Google can not only reduce its dependence on third-party providers but also create new revenue opportunities. The company has already supplied its TPUs to the AI firm Anthropic.
    • Reminder that the Premium and Ultimate plans already come with a 100 hour per month limit, which you then have to pay more to increase in 15 hour blocks.
    • It does invite Linux because MS should have been improving their products all along these years instead chose to ignore the users now this year they’re making all of these improvements to their products where as Linux doesn’t have this kind of problems in fact it has gotten so good I can even play Windows games in Steam that I no longer ever needed Windows to carry on with my life, unlike you still use Windows and chose to try beat down down those who don't use Windows because they love their LG TV. (Surprisingly I actually own a 55” LED LG TV and it has been going strong for almost 14 years, longer than any Sony TV”)
    • As much as I love owning my own hardware, it's hard to argue with the value. I'm not a huge gamer, I'd actually be interested in a cheaper plan with limited monthly hours, or even a pay-by-the-hour plan.
