Charles Moore Reviews The Firefox 3 Beta 3 Web Browser

If we discount Microsoft's fading (91 percent market share in 2004 - down to about 75 percent today) Internet Explorer, Mozilla's Firefox is on its way to becoming the Internet browser standard of reference. Safari fans might argue the point, but Safari hasn't made much of an impression outside the Mac context, where of course it's the default OS X browser. Safari is now actually a very nice-performing browser, finally reaching maturity with the version 3 release in OS 10.5 Leopard and also the OS 10.4.11 update. However, in the broader Internet context, Firefox is the most prolific non-Microsoft browser by a wide margin. In January, the market research firm Net Applications reported that Firefox enjoys a nearly 17 percent market share, which someone who has crunched the numbers reports amounts to more than a 450 increase over a brief fou

Firefox, Safari get hackers love

Firefox, Safari get hackers love For quite sometime during the XP pre-SP2 days, using Internet Explorer 6 as your default browser only translated into unbelievable trouble that could easily have you losing control over your computer experience, if not totally compromising your system. At the other side of the fence sat Opera and Firefox and a bit later Safari. While still ironing bugs and fighting for widespread adoption, the browsers were built with security in mind (at least for the time) and quickly gained momentum as the alternative to the very insecure IE experience.

Firefox Vs. Safari: Small Features Make A Big Difference

Daring Fireball's John Gruber has a fling with Firefox, but comes home to Safari. He praises Firefox's extensions, memory management, auto-restore of closed windows, the way it handles history, and more. But he decides that he prefers Safari because of a laundry list of small features that seem big to him.

Google loses marginal global market share

Google loses marginal global market share With all the noise around Microsoft and Yahoo, one could think it would all be green acres for Google who stood to gain market share if either company slipped up. And yet, according to a recent report Google has become less popular for search, losing a marginal 1/3 of a percent around the globe. And while 0.3% may not seem like a terrible lot considering that Yahoo's global participation dropped and Microsoft's stayed the same, someone else has picked up the slack, but we don't know who yet.

Firefox 3 Memory Usage

Icon"While Firefox 2 used less memory than it's predecessor, Firefox 1.5, we intentionally restricted the number of changes to the Gecko platform (Gecko 1.8.1 was only slightly different than Gecko 1.8) on which Firefox was built. However, while the majority of people were working on Firefox 2/Gecko 1.8.1, others of us were already ripping into the platform that Firefox 3 was to be built on: Gecko 1.9. We've made more significant changes to the platform than I can count, including many to reduce our memory footprint. The result has been dramatic."

Firefox 3 Beta 5 Released

bunratty writes "Firefox 3 Beta 5 was released today. This last beta release sports performance-boosting improved connection parallelism. Not only has 'the memory leak' been fixed: Firefox now uses less memory than other browsers. This is not only according to Mozilla developers, but CyberNet and The Browser World as well. As for the Acid3 test, Firefox 3 Beta 5 scores only 71/100 compared to 75/100 for Safari 3.1 and 79/100 for the latest Opera 9.5 snapshot. The final release of Firefox 3 is expected in June."
