Browser Polygamy Movement is a post on The Hickensian

My favourite quote in a long, long time, comes from Mike D:

Jon Hicks could be considered the King of the Browser Polygamy movement, hopping from application to application with the recklessness of a late 70s porn star. Jon likes multiple browsers, and he’s not ashamed to admit it.

I don’t just shack with any of them though. I rarely go and see Shiira, especially since she started that page transition effect nonsense (although I was impressed by the way she exposed all her tabs to me at the same time – neat trick). I used to go crawling back to Firefox whenever I needed some Dom Inspecting, but not since Safari showed me her new Web Inspector.

Maybe one day I’ll settle down with a nice browser, but until then I’ve got three/four/five of them…

The Hickensian is the journal of Jon Hicks, one half of the creative partnership Hicksdesign. See the work we do.
