Great time saver
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
At some point, I began to realize how much time I spent waiting for things to load, switching between different apps, etc. I decided to look for something that would help with my personal productivity and one of my co-workers recommended Firework. As far as I know, it is not used company-wide, but it has been very helpful with increasing my performance. It allows for keeping all web services in one, easily accessible place. It also works a little bit faster than the browsers that I've tried.
Pros
- Works fast with most services
- Uses less RAM than most browsers
- Stores the passwords, so there's no need to log in every time
- Has mostly everything that a browser might have (ad-block, spell checker, etc.)
Cons
- You have to pay for the most useful features
- Lack of extensions (there are basic things like ad-block, but if you need something specific you'll have a hard time)
- It's not clear how and where exactly the passwords are stored
Likelihood to Recommend
If you need to communicate through multiple apps e.g. Gmail, Slack, Whats App, and you want everything in one place - Firework is definitely your thing. Also perfect for people who have to track the time they spend on certain tasks. Firework would be useless for people who don't care about productivity and getting things done as fast as possible.
