Firefox 3.0
This has just been released tonight, and already i’m posting about it(makes up for the amount of time I didn’t post for).
Now, I like Firefox, i’ve used it since MrBen told me about and and said I should, I listened and I have been very pleased with it. 3.0 is rather strange though, it has a lot of changes. We as a species, don’t like change very much, sure, litle changes like getting new clothes, or new colour schemes are acceptable, but changing the way something works? No, we dont like that.
Which is what i’m getting to, Firefox 3.0 is trying to change how browsers work, which is quite a challenge. The hardest thing to get used to is the address bar. I’m not sure i like it, instead of you typing in the start of an adressand it coming up with the address you want, it searches the addresses of all the wites you’ve been on and puts that up as an option as well, which is rather confusing at first. I had to raid through all of them(instead of just type the full adres because i’m lazy). I decided that to make life easier for me, I should clear my history…which i did, and it does make it a bit easier but not much.
The one thing Do like is that they have a “most visited” drop down menu, where the sites you go on most come up, which should mean I don’t even have to type them in the address bar, which is great for a lazy git like myself.
I’m going to have to test drive it a bit more, but at this point, the jury is still out!

Give the new address bar a little while, and I think you’ll like it. I wouldn’t want to live without it now.
I’ll give you an example. Say you know you’d read a review of something earlier in the day, but couldn’t remember which website it was on. Just type the name of the thing, and it will find it for you. Brilliant!
