If you haven't already tried Firefox 3, now's an excellent time. Well, tomorrow will be. You'll get a free, fast and safe browser, and you'll know you're part of a Guinness World Record.Spread Firefox wrote:Sounds like a good deal, right? All you have to do is get Firefox 3 during Download Day to help set the record for most software downloads in 24 hours - it’s that easy. We're not asking you to swallow a sword or to balance 30 spoons on your face, although that would be kind of awesome.

Firefox Download Day 2008
Download a backup! Free Press for Firefox means more versions in the future, more versions in the future means extra tech jobs. More tech jobs means good high paying jobs for more American's thus improving the economy. And a good economy is good for America, and what's good for America is good for Freedom.Zixinus wrote:And what if you are already using Firefox 3?
You don't hate freedom do you son?

Firefox 3 uses a JS engine donated by Adobe and it's faster. Opera 9.5 is also pretty snappy and the Apple guys just put in a crazy-fast JS JIT compiler into WebKit (which Konqueror is switching to Real Soon Now, IIRC).Destructionator XIII wrote:Have you ever tried konqueror on Linux (which is actually my primary browser)? Oh god it crawls. Rumor has it FF3's new one is nice and snappy, but slow JS doesn't really affect most my browsing; it isn't a big deal.

AFAIK, Tamarin isn't in Fx3 yet. The new JS engine they have now is still pretty fast though.phongn wrote:Firefox 3 uses a JS engine donated by Adobe and it's faster.

Long ago in a distant land, I, Aku, the shape-shifting Master of Darkness, unleashed an unspeakable evil,
but a foolish samurai warrior wielding a magic sword stepped forth to oppose me. Before the final blow
was struck, I tore open a portal in time and flung him into the future, where my evil is law! Now, the fool
seeks to return to the past, and undo the future that is Aku...
