IE9. *Is brutally stabbed and dismembered*

Yeah, I'm going to get around to downloading FF4, but I haven't yet due to chronic laziness and Terraria.

I use Opera. I've tried chrome (ugly, slow, no options menu or bookmarks), FF4 (trying to be chrome) and IE (is IE) and didn't like them.
Literally none of those things about Chrome are true. It is objectively speaking the fastest browser to ever exist, this can be measured and has been repeatedly. Bookmarks and options are all there. Ugly is incredibly subjective and I find it less intrusive than anything else.

I upgraded FF to 4.0 and had to install 2 add-ons (Status-4-Evar and Menu Editor) to make it usable again. On different occasions I tried different browsers (up to Linx) and if Mozilla continues to fix what aren't broke I'll switch to Opera.

Changing settings and in general all meta-browsing on Chrome feels too alien and unintuitive to me. Displaying web-pages is not the only quality that a web-browser possesses.

P.S. If anyone knows a way to make all .gifs on a single specific site appear as NOT animated (static first frame only) - please post it here. Preferably with a way to make exceptions for specific .gifs.

You can always hit Escape to stop all animating GIFs on the page you're seeing if they're annoying you.

But what's the point of HamsterDance without all the hamsters dancing!?! :)

(I'm betting that the original hamsterdance is widely mirrored, even if the original is itself long gone...  Ah, nostalgia isn't what it used to be...   But never mind, there's always LeekSpin[1]!)
