Firefox 1.1 Boasts New Features
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).'"
RIP GOOG
Safari 2 still kicks its ass in speed, looks and general quality.
but with a few megabytes of code for a file format nobody's ever heard of to make up the difference.
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?
This might be off topic, but I am of the opinion that Firefox launches a new icon. In many cases, I have been asked what it currently is but all my responses have been met with: "It would be better for Firefox to adapt a new identifiable icon". I tend to agree because all other major browsers have the famous "e" and the "N" and the "O". They should also find a way to help users spell check just like in Konqueror. Just my $CAD 0.02.
how do you like them pineapples huh?!
...out of town.
New features. Enhancements. Bloat. Then a minimalistic rewrite or fork will emerge. And the neverending cycle continues. So be it.
