Browser Watch at Codehouse.com claims:

Browser Watch keeps you informed about new versions of all major browsers. This page is regularly updated.

If you were a silly person, you might think that this suggested some sort of attempt at impartiality. But of course you’d soon be disappointed. It is, in fact, nothing more than yet another Firefox Fanboy Site (FFS™).

Firefox 1.0.3: Easily the best browser available for the Windows platform. Firefox is the fastest browser available and has the most robust support for standards such as CSS and DHTML.

While [Camino] is still in beta, it is by far the best browser available for the Mac OS X platform.

Wow, how could anyone fail to be convinced by such well-thought out arguments? “Firefox is best” what more do you need to know?

Every other browser description includes a link to either Firefox or Camino. Oh, except for OmniWeb, which isn’t mentioned at all, although it is arguably brings together some of the best features from many browsers, including Opera.

Oh, well you might like to see actual data on which browser is fastest and and argument as to why some believe that Opera supports more CSS than any other browser.

I don’t mind people thinking that Firefox is great, I really don’t. What I mind is that so many of them think “Firefox is easily the best browser” is an actual argument that needs no support, and if it did need support, they’d say “It’s free and supports more of everything than anything else and has extensions to do everything.” No actual evidence or supporting arguments needed.

I’m sure there are a great number of reasonable Firefox fans out there, but at the moment it’s going through a stage not-unlike Linux’s early years where its fans thought it was the answer to all the world’s problems. It isn’t. It’s a better solution than Internet Explorer, sure. But that doesn’t meant that it’s the pinnacle of all creation.

Opera, consider a “nightmere” (sic) by the author of the above article, has provided plenty of inspiration to the Firefox group. They both have their place in the market: Firefox as the free, barebones browser with the mystery meat extensions that may or may not conflict with each other and may or may not work with the next major version.

And Opera as the best browser out there. (Oh, and if you want to know why I think it’s so good, I’ve highlighted a few of the reasons.

Don’t call yourself “Browser watch” when what you’re really about is promoting Firefox/Camino. At least be honest and say “This page will tell you what I think is wrong with every browser except Firefox/Camino.”
