firefox 3 review
Pros: a few new features; somewhat improved performance; does not support outdated OS versions such as Win 95, 98, and Me or Mac OS X.
Cons: degraded tab drag-drop function that now shows a transparency of the tab being moved.
Released early this month, I was hotly anticipating the new version albeit to much disappointment. The page zoom function is the single best improvement I saw though surprisingly as mentioned on http://www.winsupersite.com/reviews/firefox3.asp, IE7 already had that. A review at http://www.infoworld.com/article/08/06/17/25TC-firefox_1.html says that it’s faster, but from experience Firefox 3’s is only a somewhat improved, and consumes insignificantly less memory. Other reviews can be found at http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2317300,00.asp, http://www.techreviewsource.com/content/view/173/, http://macapper.com/2008/06/01/publish-firefox-3-a-safari-users-review/, http://mozillalinks.org/wp/2008/06/firefox-3-review/, http://reviews.cnet.com/browsers/firefox-3/4505-3514_7-33087853.html?hhTest=1, and http://www.crn.com/software/208403208
Organizing bookmarks hasn’t improved, though it has changed – it’s now call “Library.” Nothing else worth mentioning besides that it’s pretty much the same, though hopefully future extensions will improve the surfing experience.
best blogging software comparison
When you google, it’s like gambling – you typically can’t predict what the outcome(s) will be. Deciding on a blogging platform led to sites like http://digg.com/software/Blog_Software_Comparison_Chart, and http://lifehacker.com/software/blogging/compare-blogging-software-146190.php, but actual comparisons was found on http://asymptomatic.net/blogbreakdown.htm, http://www.ojr.org/ojr/images/blog_software_comparison.cfm and http://www.weblogmatrix.org/. While the last one appears to be better done, if these comparisons had the capacity to filter each feature, it would be surely help make life easier; unfortunately all of these comparisons are outdated.
A shame really, so I rolled some lucky dices and here. we. are.
