    Post Firefox 3

    The new Fox is out today. Linky. seems the team is trying to set an all-time record for number of downloads in a single day. Why not give 'em a boost?

    -edit-

    Here's a review of the new Fox.

    On top of the interface tweaks are a whole raft of new and improved features. There’s an easier to use password manager, a download manager that is a pleasure to use (which supports resumable downloads), better find system, and a totally revamped and very intuitive address bar. [...]

    Then there are the beefed up security systems. Firefox 3.0 tries its best to keep the user away from bad sites by giving them the information they need to come to an informed decision about the validity of a website.

    Added to this is the ability to integrate with antivirus software and parental controls so grown ups can reign control over little Johnny’s browsing.

    Under the hood the Mozilla dev team have worked hard to improve the speed, memory usage and reliability of the browser. Firefox 3.0 is not only the fastest browser available, its memory footprint has been dramatically reduced.

    Even if you have superfast Internet connection, you’ll notice a huge difference if you compare say, accessing your GMail account using Firefox 3.0 and Internet Explorer 7. Firefox 3.0 isn’t just faster, it’s noticeably faster.
