No, i couldn’t isolate myself from all that FF 3 fuss. After being a solid Epiphany user for quite a long time, i finally found my way back to this little memory slut (yeah, it seems to work better now.)
But there was a big problem with Epiphany and Firefox after the upgrade to Hardy. Both browsers crashed very unreliably when a flash application was loaded (youtube, …). It was a known bug that was related to Ubuntu’s switch to PulseAudio. Fortunately i found this helpful blog entry by Markus Thielmann which provides a deb package for Flash 10 beta. This has solved that problem for me.
After some days using FF3 (Release Candidate 3), i have to say that it is stable (has not yet crashed for me once) and all in all seems to run ”faster” than FF2, in respect to GUI stuff and browsing. The new Awesomebar is indeed awesome, and because of Newsfox, i have now abandoned my old news aggregator. Here you can find out more about the new features of FF3.
