Firefox 1.1 Boasts New Features

Posted by timothy on from the on-a-roll dept.

Distro Jockey writes "The Fedora Core Blog gives a review of the features we can expect from Firefox 1.1. Many uses have been running the latest trunk builds and seeing dramatic improvements in page rendering, managing many tabs quickly, and the much-anticipated fix for the /. layout bug. From the article: 'One major new feature in Firefox 1.1 is the "Sanitize" feature. This enables secure browsing with much more ease. Select the "Sanitize" option in the preferences and Firefox will scrub your profile of sensitive information (which you select in the preferences).'"

    Safari 2 still kicks its ass in speed, looks and general quality.

    Funny, I just realized that firefox/mozilla created a rather messy layout of slashdot on my screen.

    Maybe this shows that really only a site's content is important?

    New features. Enhancements. Bloat. Then a minimalistic rewrite or fork will emerge. And the neverending cycle continues. So be it.
