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Pros: a few new features; somewhat improved performance; does not support outdated OS versions such as Win 95, 98, and Me or Mac OS X.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.

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.
