Yesterday, Firefox stepped up to version 3.5.6 and their Beta version is 3.6 Beta 5. I use the beta version for most things, as I want the newest and best there is. Sometimes, I live on the edge using Beta versions, but that's a part of product development. When we use Beta versions of products, we contribute to the future. But I'm selective about which of these programs that I run. Mozilla has in the last few months impressed me with their rapid rise of Firefox. Simple things like watching a news clip without it breaking up, unlike IE8. And for those who have low spec systems (this probably doesn't apply to Windows 7 users), Seamonkey is an excellent choice as well. It leaves a small footprint and is customizable as well. For those out there with IE and dissatisfied, Firefox is an excellent choice. Not that there are others, too. But sheer numbers don't lie. Firefox is the #2 browser used today and the numbers that are going their way is steadily climbing. Their browser can be customized thousands of ways, not so with IE. IE doesn't even offer a simple ad blocker, such as Adblock Plus. I could go on and on about this, but I won't. The fact is Firefox is steadily moving forward, adding more and more features, but IE offers few options. It would not surprise me to see Firefox as the #1 browser at some point. Not one bit.
