Love and annoying

This is an interesting article abou things we love, and why we love them, and annoying things, and how they can be unannoying.
When Chrome was launched, I changed my browser. I always used Firefox. I use to have 20 plug-ins installed. But as a professor of the operating systems course in the computer science department of my university, I was atracted to some news improvements Google developed to Chrome. Specially the memory management. So I changed my browser. After six months I'm back to Firefox. And as I saw this is a movement choosen by a lot of people. Why is that? Well, Chrome is not exactly a wonderful software. It is something dry. It needs some spice. Firefox has all the plugins, so it is not in fact a finished product. It can be extended, and some of the available functions to extend Firefox are lovely. for example, I use Foxmarks to synchronize the bookmarks of my home PC to my work PC. Google Notebook is very useful to me, and it's a shame Google is thinking to terminate it. Abduction! is avery powerful tool to save pictures from the websites we visit. And so on.
How about the Firefox problem with memory? I don't know exactly why, but as we use the program, it increases the ammount of memory it is using. I decided to do a simple thing. Before I changed to Chrome I used to keep some sites with pending issues opened as tabs. Of course it encreases the Firefox used memory. Now I decided to keep all these sites in the bookmarks toolbar. I have other tips, but I will wait another post. Eventually I close Firefox to open a new program next time, with reduced used memory.
Right now, I am keeping Chrome in my PC, but Firefox is the principal browser I use. And Internet Explorer? Wait a future post.
