First impression: Google delivered, I’ve never used a browser this fast. It’s great.
Yesterday, a cartoon was prematurely leaked detailing Google’s vision for what a browser could look like. Now, 24 hours later I’m reviewing what until yesterday was a well kept secret.
So here’s my first impressions.
Fast and responsive. What can I say? Firefox 3 was [...]
Also tagged google, reviewsNormally when I play with a new browser (like a few weeks ago when I tried out Flock 1.0) I usually post at least something. In the past week I played with no less than three new browsers.

Everybody seems to be writing about the new firefox and as a loyal user, I shouldn’t stay behind. I’ve been using the alpha and beta versions and they have proven to be mostly trouble free (as much as you could expect from alphas and betas).
The alphas were a little unstable and I encountered a couple [...]
Quite uncharacteristically, I have not been touching any nightly builds of firefox since 1.0.
