I use other software (including my own) for cropping, touching up, color fixing, white balance, sharpening, & air brushing. Then I use irfanview to resize, compress, or filter image noise/distortion. I may re-sharpen with irfanview if the noise filters or compression dulled things too much.
I've always processed my pix that way, so I didn't even know irfanview can crop images. I could be saving a stage of the process on pix that don't need fixing if I knew irfanview could crop images.
It's not the browsers that suck, it's that web pages these days suck. They want to load everything but the kitchen sink on a page, but don't want you to access or save a portion of it independently from the rest. It takes 180-250mb of ram & 20-60 cookies or cookie updates just to load yahoo's front page. Is all of that really necessary to display the page? Of course not. But the web designers on computers with massive quad cores, $250 graphics cards, & 16gb of RAM assume everybody visiting a page has a computer just like theirs or should, so they won't streamline their programming, & cut the fat out of their pages because they can't see the problem. And of course, just the opposite of Betty's they don't want you to save anything on the page for yourself.
And here we make every byte count. You can listen to a 40 minute mix, while viewing a page of 60 pictures, & you won't use 10% of the computer & bandwidth resources you'd need to visit a yahoo or facebook page. You only need 1 cookie for a Betty page to work, not 20-60.
Pale Moon browser, like firefox, is customizable, except Pale Moon is more streamlined & efficient because they cut the fat & fluff out of it. Customizable means you can make it cheat, & do what you want it to instead of what the page or browser wants to.
