Using Firefox on a ThinkPad right now. Pelican can be a problem; first load of the day normally goes well, but after a while the refresh is crazy slow. Opening a new thread can take minutes.

Ad and analytics servers normally get redirected to 127.0.0.1 so I just chalked the slow updates up to server waits.

I have liked FF, but it is also becoming bloatware. I just want a simple and secure browser. No plug-ins, no BHOs, no active updates - just simple, safe and fast.

Yeah, right....
