Firefox 2
Posted by Michael Dale on Wed, 25 Oct 2006 3:16 PMFirefox 2 is out. Go get it.
I was never a huge fan of firefox on the mac, although this version is much better. It runs fast and it now looks great!
My two browsers of choice are Firefox 2 and Safari 2. Internet Explorer 7 is much better than 6, although I find it a fair bit slower opening tabs that the firefox. Opera is just, well, disappointing. I don't like how it handles tabs, lack of plugins, the interface is poor and it feels slow.

Yeah Firefox 2 looks like it kicks some butt. It's copied a lot of the way Opera does tabs, actually ;-)
I'm a Opera person these last couple of months but Firefox 2 looks like it's good enough to win me back... especially on the basis of plugins. I was using Opera because it was vastly superior in terms of speed+usability+stability on Linux over Firefox 1.5x, but if Firefox 2 is a little more stable it looks like an overall better browser. I just can't install it here at work because of stupid lack of permissions *grumble*
...Opera magically installed fine, permissions are clearly teh crap :P
