FireFox 3 is almost here
May 30, 2008 · Print This Article
For almost a year I have been waiting for it. But wait, you don’t use FireFox?! Are you serious?
I can not stress out enough how powerful FireFox is with unlimited ongoing stream of add-ons or as some may call it plug-ins, I believe that you can run your entire system from within Firefox, but mainly I believe that it is the most safe and powerful Internet browser out there. Period.
I will go through more details about Firefox and all the tool that I want to share with you to make your life much easier online, for example: I am using ScribeFire to post this post (A free Firefox plugin allows you to blog from within Firefox in a great split screen with all the writing and posting options you might imagine). More on Firefox coming soon.
For now, I can say that all are predicting that Firefox 3 might be out in June and By clicking on the Fox logo above, I took a pledge to download it on the download day, helping Firefox to break a record of the most downloaded software in one day. (I will not be surprised after over half a Billion copies downloaded to date of old versions).
I beg to differ. Safari is better. YES, it does lack the add-ons, and YES, it runs a tad slower in opening streams. But dude…. its MUCH faster than Firefox. Its been proven. Period.
Kevin, I have to disagree. Try to run Firfox without plugins and compare the speed. You will discover the big different.
Uhm, Firefox isn’t the safest browser, Opera is. Infact, if you completely remove ActiveX from Internet Explorer, it would be safer than Firefox aswell, seeing as even IE has less security holes then Firefox. Nice try though.
I have been using Firefox 3 since April on my Hardy Heron (Ubuntu 8.04) laptop, and it is spectacular. Safari is better? You must be joking.
I use Firefox almost exclusively on both windows and Ubuntu platforms. Firefox has everything I need. Opera and Safari are OK but for me Firefox is the one browser to rule them all and in the darkness bind them. IE, is that a browser?
@Michael, just so you know: Ubuntu isn’t a platform, it’s a distro of Linux. Linux would be the platform.
Also, hopefully the initial release of Firefox 3 will fix the HTML 5 bugs so people will start including it in their websites. I think it’s sad that the Mozilla Firefox dev team is more worried about eye candy than web standard problems that should have been fixed in Firefox 2, and still aren’t working correctly in Firefox 3.
