This is the first of what will likely become a series and so categorized as a Rant:

OK, so this is the last example of the day and nothing against Rafe, his post is just the last straw over the last couple days, where I’ve heard that how fast a browser opens really, really matters to the reviewer / commentator.  Seriously?  How often are people opening and closing their browsers that speed of launch is any kind of a measuring stick for the quality of a browser?  The only time I’m launching a browser is at some point after I boot my PC and then never shut down the browser until the PC does so at shutdown.  Nearly everything I do anymore occurs in a browser or is destined to be submitted, emailed, stored, etc. through the browser.  Why close it?

Rant off…

Some rants will be more serious than others.  This one’s not so serious, use your browsers any stupid way you want <grin>.
