Firefox 3 Beta 1 Review
ZDNet were quick to make a short but substantial review of Firefox 3 Beta 1. They also supply with a gallery of nice screenshots of the new beta.
"Early indications seem to suggest that it is indeed a major revamp of both the core and the UI, and that Firefox will be a much better browser for it", says the author, Adrian Kingsley-Hughes.
The author examines critically the new browser and concludes that Firefox 3.0 is going to be better. You can expect improvements in terms of security, speed and ease of use.
- Everything about Firefox 3.0 beta 1 is fast. The download package is small which means that it comes in fast, the installation is fast, the browser fires up fast, pages and tabs open fast, the browser shuts down fast, and the uninstall process is fast and painless.
- Firefox 3.0 UI is dramatically improved. Everything is brighter, clearer, and easier to access. Things that should be simple, such as bookmarking, saving passwords, and finding words and phrases in the text of a web page are now simple. Page zooming is brilliant, as is the feature that resumes interrupted downloads.
- Security is also greatly improved. Not only have the SSL error pages been redesigned, but there’s also malware and web forgery protection available. Add-on and plugin security has also been beefed up considerably. To top that off, Firefox integrates with your anti-virus app and with the Parental Controls feature in Windows Vista.
Check out the Firefox 3.0 beta 1 gallery.
