I used to like this browser, but I dunno these days. If I have it open for more than an hour it just gets soooo slooow and laggy. Hell, even right now it's a good five or six characters behind what I'm actually typing. So, can anyone recommend a good browser for me? I'm only looking for a few things in one, from most to least important.

1. It runs smoothly.
2. It has a feature or plug-in like Unplug. (If you're not familiar, here's a link.)
3. It has a feature or plug-in like Lazarus. (If you're not familiar, a quick summary is it saves text entered in a field so you don't lose posts.)
4. It has a feature or plug-in like DownThemAll. (It's basically a download manager, but I like it best of the three or four I've used and would like one similar to it.)
5. I guess themes would be nice, particularly dark ones that are easy on the eyes.

Have you considered Chrome?

[SeriousConcentrate]

I'm a bit leery of Chrome because it's Google. I haven't looked into it because of that. I take it you use it; what sort of functionality does it support?

As for my own research, I've been looking at Opera, mostly, but I was hoping to get some opinions on it from others.

Have you tried Comodo?

:3

Also on that list, most of them could be standalone downloads. Or plug-ins in the browser (and...are you sure there isn't any bad thing [yes, haha, this general term >.<] in your PC that slows typing speed down?)

[SeriousConcentrate]

I'm certain it's the browser. My brother switched off of Firefox recently because it was doing the same thing on his computer. As for Comodo, never heard of it. I'll give it a look and see what extensions and stuff it has.

Well, firstly, Chrome can save your preferences, bookmarks, passwords, etc. as a profile that you can access from any device with Chrome, which, from your opinion of Google, that's not a selling point.
However, it's really freaking fast. Really fast.
It also an "Appstore", which you can ignore. However, some of the extensions are pretty good.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Well, that does sound useful to someone with a lot of devices, but right now I only have a desktop. The speed is appealing. I'll look into it and see what extensions it has. I'm just a little iffy about it because Google bought YouTube and it seems like that site gets a worse redesign every month, so...

@Tiruin: Ice Dragon does sound like a good alternative, if it runs better. I'll bookmark it for further consideration.

Nope, this is what I use.
I love it, personally.

I'm just going to continue stroking my beard thoughtfully.
