Well I kind of heard of it. I heard theres a firefox chick and this is some type of web browser but thats it. I dont get why people are excited.

well it's your classic david and goliath story, you've got the big guy who illegally muscles his way into a market, and then once he is king just decides not to help his subjects but just ignore them and rule with an iron fist. And then a descendant of the previous king rises up and challenges the evil giant. Of course everyone is going to get behind the little guy.

not to mention the fact that browsing the Internet with firefox 3 is just a better experience. It will save you time, annoyance, and you get the warm fuzzy feeling of sticking it to the man.

 


1. Whats the difference between E8 and the Firefox 3? What does it fix?

2. Does it run faster?

3. If I download Firefox 3 can I still keep Explorer 8 too incase I dont like Firefox?


1.) Firefox is much safer, customizable with numerous skins and themes, can be set to block all pop-ups, adware, spyware, and scripts unless you specifically allow it (internet explorer actually sells holes in their security to companies willing to pay), lets you save your tabs when you quit so that when you open the internet up the next time you'll go straight to the tabs you had open yesterday, has a great download manager built right into the status bar at the bottom of your browser, and has the ever useful bookmarks toolbar with links to all your bookmarks right up top.

2.) Yes, a little.

3.) Yes... though there is no reason to.


Firefox (and Mozilla, the company that owns them) is partnered with Google, and is currently one of the largest threats to Microsoft's monopoly.  The combination of Google and Firefox has been slowly but surely reducing their marketshare signifficantly on the internet.



+1 naza except it runs a LOT faster then IE it just takes a little bit of RAM which will be fixed in firefox 3



i will download it tomorow



just a few more hours to go.



It's coming at Midnight??
