Firefox 3.0 Beta Released!

Wow... did I mention how not different at all this is?

I mean, yeah, the " Places" folder in the bookmarks tab is nice, and the star button in between the address and the " go" button is useful, but I expected something a little... cooler.

3?

They havent even fixed all the stupid problems with 2 yet!

A thread on web browsers where Loco mentions Opera. Wow I didn' t see that coming...

"This is sad. There's no other word for it. The person who invents a way to punch someone in the face over the Internet will make millions from the demand generated by people like this." Youtube comments

lol, Opera. Sorry I prefer a browser that actually loads all the pages I visit.

I like the horse analogy for IE though. Everything else is faster, but a good horse can go anywhere if you have sense enough to take it off the damn buggy

I' d be totally happy if I never ended up using 3. I' ve been messing around in it for a day or so, & the Beta' s a tad slower, sucks some more system resources, and really brings nothing new to the table.'

You can just spoof as IE if the sites are coded that crappy they they won' t load unless you use are using their desired browser.

Yeah, or I could just use the browsers that work.

Which Opera still does best, if you take a look at it' s compatibility (-> i.e. Acid2 test). 9/10 if a page doesn' t show up properly in Opera it' s because the dev fucked something up and it can be easily fixed by pressing a few buttons to mask it as IE. Only 1/10 (at max) it' s REALLY Opera' s fault for showing the page in a messed up way.

I use barebones IE6 for 10% of everything I do (forum posting being one of them if I' m on the right PC). The rest I use Firefox with a metric-assload of extensions.

I am already using Mozilla Firefox. What does i need to upgrade it.

Maybe an analogy would help explain why Opera isn' t worth the harddrive space, no matter how small it is.


Three automechanics:

Mechanic # 1 has been workng on cars since cars existed. When he decides to change a procedure, car designers change car designs to match HIM because he' s just that popular and competent. Industry standard, undisputed.
But, he' s a stubborn old bastard. He has a small suggestion box on the door, but he almost never reads any suggestions. When he does decide to read suggestions, he throws 90% of them in the trash.


Mechanic #2 is a little younger and more handsome than the first, but equally competent. Plus, he loves suggestions. He' s got a whole second office dedicated to taking suggestions and implementing them.


Then there' s Mechanic #3 . He' s a lot younger and he' s undeniably faster than the other two. Plus, he' s got some really cool gadgets in his office. However, about 1%-5% of the time he forgets to put your car back together completely. He' s not really sure how to fix some of the older cars, so he' s got the other two mechanics on speed dial.

I simply lack the patience for Mechanic #3.







Anyway, where the hell can I download the Firefox Beta?

Opera render' s pages twice as fast and you can browse 50 times faster because the interface is so much better.

"If you knew how good I am you would think I'm modest."

Ok if you' re concerned over system resouces off a ***ing BROWSER you need to get a new computer.

If My firefox took 10 times more resources than it does now I wouldn' t notice because you know, it takes like 0.0000001% of my computer' s resources. I' m not gonna notice anything if it takes 0.0000010 % instead.

Right here.

lol if you can' t use a web browser to find it on your own you shouldn' t be commenting on web browsers.

"If you knew how good I am you would think I'm modest."

Yeah.

I just didn' t bother to read through the release notes and find the link.

He knows I haven' t reached my karma quota for this week. Thanks Nekkid! Almost there!
