I’ve been experimenting with the latest beta of Firefox 4 for the last few days. So far, I like. It rivals Chrome in terms of speediness, but I can still use my favorite extensions like Sage. Chrome could still win me over if it keeps evolving at such a rapid pace. Its minimalist interface is clearly influencing the latest Firefox build and Google doesn’t show any signs of slowing down Chrome development. Firefox just feels more familiar to me. I have fond memories of using the first version way back in 2004 when most people were still using the monstrosity that was Internet Explorer 6. It gave me the first inkling that a browser could do more than just display web pages. Nowadays, most of my computer time is spent inside a browser. In fact, I’m writing this within a browser.
