Firefox 3 ( yes, its here)

To those of u still using Internet Explorer for your default browser, its time to change. The latest version of Firefox has finally convince me to migrate to the Mozilla family. It has been available for download since 18th June 2008. And I am among the first few millions to download it from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/#feature-vsie although the website is flooded by extra high traffics on that day.

The biggest advantages of using Firefox 3 is its superior speed and performance. Compared to its competitor which is the latest IE7, it loads up pages superbly fast including those media rich sites.
Its also less prone to crashes as well. Whats more striking is if you unexpectedly close it, it will prompt u whether you want to restore it to the previous session teh next time you open it.
The new additional functionality is the awesome bar. You can quickly find those websites that you have been in a split second. It customises based on your surfing experience. Now, you can also add a website to your favorites in just a single click.
Additionally, there are many add-ons and skins that are available free online for firefox. Well, there are whole lots of new features that I think its better for you guys to check and see for yourself.
To find out more, visit the website above and try it.
Now, its time to ditch IE once and for all.
See some sample screenshots below.

reallly so good? probably time to change, as IE offers nothing much in terms of personalization, and cluttered settings.
