This just in: Firefox 3 is ridiculously fast.
So fast it should be illegal, in fact, though I'm glad it isn't.

Why people continue to use IE is beyond me.

YAY FIREFOX 3!!

1. Thanks, I just downloaded it.
I've been using the previous version for awhile (Internet Exploder sux out loud), but this really is FAST.

you are defiling your mac with that winblows bloatware...:P

use Camino! 100% Mac. and even faster due to the fact it is a native mac app and not running in a shell with a translation step to allow it to run on a mac.

3. OK, thanks, I'll take a look at it.
But I'm really used to Firefox.

4. Are you running it on a mac now?
It looks different than it used to. I think uglier.

5. Yes. It's very fast, but the menu bar is kind of gray. A bit blah.
But it is much faster. I may not be able to switch to Camino because I need to be able to use some work-related web sites that support only IE and Firefox. Sometimes even Safari doesn't work right (but I like Firefox better any way).
