FireFox 5
kitamesume:
the firefox 5.0 has new add-on supports, plus abit of fixes, i haven't encountered a bug yet.

Yeah on Chrome there are two major ones: Adblock and Adblock Plus. The latter is made by the same guys who made the Firefox one, and it is still in Beta but it is getting there. I'm pretty sure the new revisions of both though stop the ads from loading, not just display. It doesn't block ads in all streams though, but even the Firefox one doesn't block half of those for me. That feature depends very heavily on the site.

For those of you Firefox 3.6 fans, I do sympathize but to be honest the programs are moving in the other direction. All 5 major browsers are focusing on speed and minimalism now (aka. the stuff people think of as Google Chrome-esque). I mean Opera looks just like Firefox 4 and I.E. is trying desperately to go even further. Safari has been that way forever afaik.

Haha, interesting how people think that speed is Chrome-esque, rather it's embarassing...

After CNET and Lifehacker (and several other sites) post a couple hundred graphs, I mean what do you expect? The impression it gave at launch still persists, not to mention Google touts it quite a bit. Personally I don't see how a theoretical improvement of .2 seconds makes much difference in actual use. If speed is all that matters, today you may as well use IE.

Btw, Thunderbird 5 is out too
