I'd love a final version of Firefox. Small, fast. Without all the.. rubbish and extras..

That is what it was originally.
Then it grew to bloated, so people moved to chrome.
Now that is getting bloated, I am simply waiting for the next browser (could it be the return of opera?? :) ).

Just google "browser". I found a list of 20 browsers once and there was one superlight amongst them. It needed about 20mb of RAM. But I can't remember the name...

Opera recently got a new JS engine - it's bloody fast. Though it doesn't really matter to me as I use few JS-heavy sites.

I miss firefox, I moved over to Chrome, just because Firefox started to feel old.

I tried the Firefox 4 beta, but the lack of AJAX support makes it just impossible to use.

Apparently they patched AJAX \o/

Find Mozilla Firebird 0.6 on Google. It's an early version of FF, and it's my primary browser. :)

Opera would dominate the browser market if they only had plugin support, imo.

But Firefox plugins are also its downfall. They add bloat, lower security potentially (as they are probably less scrutinised than Fx itself), and essentially allow devs to be lazy - "oh, it's OK, an Extension will do it, we don't need to implement that".

In Opera, most of these things are already included.

Plus, you can do a LOT with User JS, custom buttons and widgets - don't underestimate those 3 fantastic features.
