Firefox 3 Alpha Reviewed
For those who like to live on the bleeding edge of browser functionality, Ars Technica has a review of Firefox 3.0 a, which was recently made public by the Mozilla group. It looks as though Firefox will soon join the ranks of browsers with Acid2 bragging rights.
From the article, "Codenamed Gran Paradiso, Firefox 3 includes the new Gecko 1.9 rendering engine which leverages the open-source Cairo rendering framework and features heavily refactored reflow algorithms that improve Firefox layout functionality and resolve some long-standing CSS bugs."

Five years ago we were on version 3.0a and you had blood on your hands for using it.
Now we’re at FireFox 8. Internet Explorer 10. Chrome 16/17. What’re you using these days?
RE: Saw In the Looking Glass by markmcb
Chrome about 80% of the time. Firefox the rest. I stay with the latest beta releases of each.
RE: Saw In the Looking Glass by VnutZ
Interesting that you dual wield browsers. I would almost see the usage of Chrome and IE simply to accommodate business applications … but what’s the draw back to FireFox?
