My Own Personal Browser War
I’ve been a pretty die-hard Firefox fan since its birth, and really even before that. Firefox spawned from Mozilla, which arose out of the cinders of Netscape, which was the next progression of Mosaic, the first real browser – and I used them all. Each incarnation has been my primary browser since every other competitor has paled in comparison. Flock was a nice idea, but overcomplicated a world that needed simplification. Opera certainly tries hard, but doesn’t quite get it. Safari sure looked pretty but just didn’t have the skills. Chrome is nice, but is really just a new UI and some mild tweaks on top of the same WebKit engine Safari uses. Internet Explorer… well, let’s not go down that dark, smelly hole. Firefox has had the upper hand when it comes to rendering pages consistently and, more importantly, rendering them properly. The plugin architecture is unparalleled and so incredibly useful that every other major player has scrambled to mimic it and only managed a half-assed attempt. For development, Firefox is flat-out unbeatable. Its standards support and add-ons like FireBug and the Web Developer Toolbar give Firefox some serious kung fu.
But, sadly, today is the day that Firefox lost its crown as the Lord of All Browsers on my computer.

Oh boy, it's already starting. That time of year where men with tiny penises ride the loudest motorcycles they can find, get a kick out of making car alarms go off as they pass, and still feel the need to blare the bike stereo so loud that you can hear shitty freedom rock from 8 blocks away. And I was just getting used to the cold, calm silence of winter.
