Good Morning,
I'm looking to find a webbrowser that I can use without frustration, to accomadate my work-style. I like to open my "Daily" websites, such as this forum, slashdot, etc, in a folder of tabs.. But I'm having trouble opening many of them at a time.
In Firefox, I'm opening about 25 of them at a time, and it locks the web browser up until they are loaded. This is with all of the builds I've tried, including the builds optimized for my powerbook's g4.
In safari, it opens them successfully, but then hangs for a while half way through the process, after some of the pages have loaded successfully. It maybe a flash/Java issue?
Opera pauses the entire browser for a while, and then eventually the all pop up loaded.
Mozilla doesn't seem to have a "open folders in tabs" option, but based on the same gecko code as firefox, I imagine if I could figure it out, it would act the same.
IE doesn't support tabs.
Omniweb comes closest.. It opens them all, but does so VERY slowly. It becomes tedious to scroll, but never actually stops. I do wish Omniweb had a Flashblocker and Adstopper, though.
Shiira pretends it's opening them, animating the spinning wheel, but then becomes unresponsive until they are all loaded.
Camino paused for 15 (!) seconds, and then opens all the bookmarks, but then takes a long time in switching between them/closing one.
I couldn't figure out how to open a list of tabs in iCab.
So.. What am I missing? How do I do this, without it giving me problems? Firefox/Linux seems fine, so perhaps it's an OSX issue? How do I get a responsive browser, that keeps working and just fills in each tab when it's starting to load?
