Lemme make it simple This browser “ROCKS”
This is what I was expecting from mozilla for a long time. The earlier Mozilla used be slow and hog a lot of memory.
The icon
Oh well this is a neatly designed icon/logo. Very attractive. Nice campaigns too. Would prefer to buy a T-shirt of theirs. (Fed up of seeing the regular the “BLUE” icon.
The speed
The time taken to load the browser is fast as compared to earlier Mozilla. (doen’t hang, not so far)
Looks
Very similar to IE. This is good intelligent move. Even the help in Firefox has a table which shows the terms used in IE and the equivalents of Firefox.
(unfortunately similar to IE)
Compatibility
So far the sites I’ve surfed did not show up much errors. I bet it will not be much of a hindrance.
Some cool stuff (most were available earlier)
• Tab feature (not available in IE)
• Download manager
• Block pop up
Most important it doesn’t seem like a slow Java based browser.
It’s been 2 days that I’ve been using firefox I cannot immediately say much cons on it.
I can assure that this is more secure than IE.
Most of all its FREE.
Also try “Thunderbird Mail client 0.9”. Its awesome.
