I was OK with the performance in Firefox (though it was pretty slow). What was *really* bothering me was the crashing. Does 'noscript' solve that as well?
I'm currently trying out xombrero and vimb. I feel like vimb might be a bit faster, but it doesn't recognize the Gmail composing text area as an input. Anyone know how to force vimb into insert mode?
