Firefox 3
April 4th, 2008 by fnxFirefox is great; I'm a committed fan. (Those who know me know I've written one plug-in [URL Link], and sort-of maintain another [Neo Diggler]).
It's in order to update these plug-ins that I've been trialling the Firefox 3 betas, as I tend to.
And it's better than ever. Mind you, if you're a fan, you'll be expecting that, and if you're not a fan by now ... well, I guess nothing I can say here will convince you. Even yesterday I discovered a small new feature (admittedly in the beta, and seemingly only in Linux): if you select part of a page, then drag that selection around (e.g., to dump it into ScribeFire), you get a little thumbnail of the selection.
It's touches like that that keep me hooked; I'm not sure why it doesn't work for the Windows version, but then: what are you still using Windows for? Come on, this is the 21st. Century; dive in!
Do try Firefox, if you've not yet: you won't regret it.

I am, of course, also an advocate of the ‘Fox; but look what my beta 5’s just done:
Which is kinda cool!
Also notice the second bookmark is in a funky script. I installed one of the Gujarati betas once but I can’t seem to shake it.
[It roughly transliterates as "jugyao", which means "places."]

Oops, it stripped out my screenshot.
