those tabs made me dry reach, i am glad they aren't taking the ability to change them via themes out otherwise IMO they would lose a lot of long time users myself included

They are hidden as default, I just enabled them for the screenshot

The 16b5 is running MUCH FASTER than any browser I have installed. The difference from the previous version is gaudy!

Yeah, I've switched back to firefox on my desktop computer, much more responsive now. Still fairly laggy UI at times on my laptop though.

Today's nightly is filled with graphical glitches all around firefox window, and even outside it we firefox is focuse. :(

Are you running Catalyst 12.9 beta? If so uninstall it and install 12.8 release. Fixed it for me.

No, i was using version 12.6 and now i'm updating to v12.8. Anyway those glitches disappeared with yesterday's nightly but new ones appeared (bad rendering of text in chrome)

html5test firefox 16: 363

html5test beta firefox 16: 372

html5test firefox 17: 388

So there's a 15 and a 2 point advantage with firefox 17 beta 1 over firefox 16. Nice to have so many html5 additions :)

Note this isn't the final release of 17 b1, its a release candidate.

    • Classic Outlook vs New Outlook — Which one do you prefer and why?

      By tsupersonic · Posted

      When you're in enterprise IT environment, you're kinda forced into it...otherwise I'm not touching any mail client for personal use.  I can't stand New Outlook. It's complete trash - half the features I need in (Classic) Outlook are just missing in New Outlook. I haven't talked to a single person who actually likes the new client. 
    • macOS ‘Golden Gate' unveiled with standalone Siri app, performance improvements and more

      I think it's cute that Apple is implementing their tools at precisely the same evolutionary level as other devices' tools. In other words, I see no innovation; it's "the same but different." "Hey Siri, help me write this document about shoes." Powered by Google. "Sure thing, while we're here, can I interest you on some Nike's? They're on sale at Target right now!"

      But apple has ASSURED us that this is private. So, it's private. I expect the same "leeway" shown Microsoft to be reflected here.
    • ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE keyboard is 27% off on Amazon

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE keyboard is 27% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE is currently $159.99 on Amazon, down from $219.99. That's 27% off and $60 saved on a keyboard that combines retro and modern design, while being one of the most responsive and adaptable 75% boards available right now (purchase link down below). The ROG Falchion Ace comes with the HFX V2X magnetic switches that allow you to set actuation anywhere between 0.1mm and 3.5mm with 0.01mm fine-tuning steps. It also comes with Rapid Trigger, a feature that resets the key the moment you release it rather than waiting for a fixed reset point, which makes a noticeable difference in fast-paced games. And finally, an 8,000Hz polling rate should make the response time feel instant. The build quality is decent, with dense plastic and powder-coated aluminum, which is expected from a keyboard at this price point. There’s also the onboard adjustment wheel, which lets you tweak actuation and Rapid Trigger sensitivity without opening any software. For competitive gaming, the ROG Falchion Ace is hard to beat at this price. And those who appreciate old-school hardware, especially those white keyboards we’ve all grown up with, will likely also appreciate the looks of this keyboard. A carry case is included.
