“Why is my browser so slow?”

Every now and then people complain about their web browser being slow. The conversation usually goes like this:

Me: Ok which browser are you using and which version?

Customer: Firefox 3.5

Me: Ok which plugins did you install?

Customer: Adblocker, Noscript, FoxyProxy, HTML validator, Firebug, Google Speed, SkipScreen, FireFTP, WeatherBug, Fireshot. Ah yes and TwitterBar.

Well it is obvious Firefox gets rather slow with many addons. My advice: deactivate or uninstall those you do not need regularly. I for one use two browsers: one for development with all the bells and whistles and one for regular web surfing.
