Laptops and tablets and browsers, oh my!
I really like the look of the new EEE
Transformer which gives you a tablet form factor, a laptop form
factor, and 12-18 hours of battery, depending on whether the keyboard is
plugged in.
I realised recently that the laptop isn't used for anything terribly
complex - I read email on it, surf the web, watch videos in bed and that's
about it. And a tablet would happily do all of that.
The only thing holding me back is that the laptop runs Firefox, and I like
the customisation that that offers. I've tried Chrome, but the lack of
options for even basic things* frustrates me too much.
Anyone played around much with different browsers on Firefox?
*I want URLs to open in a new tab, not overwrite the one I happen to be
looking at. Is that too much to ask?
