on Jun 18th, 2008Firefox 3 – Review
So, I downloaded the latest installment of Firefox and tried it out. A brief about me, I have been a firefox user for a long time now and usually wait for newer versions of the browser to be shipped. The addons feature when launched was truly the best concept ever, then came the integrated search bar, spell check and a host of other wonderful features. I admit, I use firefox purely for its addons and nothing else (Actually the other reason is that my primitive designs really look good on firefox , IE and me dont really get along on the design playfield )
Well the 3rd installment really didn’t get me excited. Except for the full text like search on the address bar, I really didnt see any difference. The so called great features of FF3 viz offline support and apis for the same, social features etc are completely missing. So there is faster javascript and stuff, but for people in the third world countries ( at least in terms of bandwidth) like ours, pages take an eternity to load and a slight improvement in JS doesnt really do much until underlying infrastructure is changed.
The 3rd installment of FF has let me down. I still recommend people to use Flock. Their features and extensions on firefox are really great and do wonders for web users.
