I bet all the geeks downloaded it as soon as it was on the ftp server and they'll also download it when it's officially released to be part of the world record attempt.

Exactly cosmo, I am a bit of a geek and I didn't, either of them.

Says it uses less memory and is less latent, can only be a good thing.

I've had FF up to half a Gb or so, got 2Gb installed so it's not about to fill it, but it slows the browser down substantially. It's not so stable when there's a lot going on.

I would go straight to 3 except I fear usability issues with that new look.

Firefox users should appreciate that (the ones that aren't just using it because it's cool)

You read the bit about their party? They hired a nightclub in San Fran and 3500 people turned up.

quote:
One of the giant video screens spent the evening displaying the source code scrolling by, at varying speeds averaging 60 lines a second. At one point Brendan walked by, looked up at it, and said, ``That's XFE. I can't read it, but I recognise the indentation style.''


Geeks.

It's not too bad.

One thing I don't like is when typing in the web address, it comes up with a matching address, but also description type thing which is a bit confusing.

Other than that, I like it. Plus, web pages which don't have an address i.e. Corsasport u2u Inbox, it displays a URL
