PC users, especially firefox fanboys

No, I'm not starting a which-browser-is-better war. but just downloaded Lunascape and so far it rocks. No IE stability issues and slowness, and so far no Firefox add-ons to work on certain websites. Anybody else using and comments?

I may install it in the future to see how WebKit renders things, but I can't handle a life without extensions.

...and for the record, firefox > 42.

firefox > 42?? you'll have to explain that one to me.

Lunascape alpha 5.0. sometimes flash doesn't work on certain sites for reasons too technical for me. it works with some items but not all from one site.

42 is The Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything, per the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Firefox = 42 may be more likely.

Does Lunascape have a good RSS reader? I keep my to-do list Atom feeds open in my Firefox sidebar to keep me focused.

wow, lol. yes, how could i forget that lil tid bit of knowledge. firefox is cool but maybe too advanced for me as i've had just as many issues with it as i have with opera and ie. mostly personal preference but some operational. =42?? ehh u pushing it there, geekman.

there's actually a built-in rss "reader" of sorts in the sidebar of the 5.0 alpha build. haven't tried the earlier versions yet as i'm still exploring the depth of options. can add your own feeds of course and comes with what i would call a generic and popular boat of feeds, mostly digg but luckily those can be eliminated with a couple swift swipes of my new, authentic luke skywalker light saber.

haven't experienced lockups, unresponsiveness, but some sites don't always want to load all the elements of the page 100% of the time and seems rather random in when it choses to load or not. but being this is a conglomeration of engines, it's not surprising.

I would think that 42 extensions would make Firefox a little sluggish.
