Firefox 3.0 Alpha 2 - Gran Paradiso

with one comment

deerpark-icon.pngThe first thing I did after I finished installing Gran Paradiso Alpha 2, was checking if it passes Web Standard’s ACID2 test, and unbelievably it did! And I was amazed to see it really passed the test!
The release notes says the browser is now completely standards compliance. Great!
There are other improvements that affect Mac version that I haven’t tested yet.

Firefox (0.9.x) is unstable

with 13 comments

And it is why I was using Mozilla 1.7 for past couple of months.

FireFox 0.9 crashes on complicated pages which has flash animations and too many pictures. It happens on two of my computers. (Yes, I double checked the setup. It happens with and without plug-ins installed).

Goodbye FireFox for now. I love Mozilla 1.7.2.

Aren’t you experiencing what I experienced?

FireFox 0.9 RC

without comments

You know it’s out for public test before the final 0.9 realease.

I have only one thing to say: The new theme is aweful. It’s not a Windows theme. It doesn’t feel like a windows theme. Qute was way better.

Firefox team is making their own decisions without listening to the community. At least, I think so.

iCapture and ieCapture

without comments

iCapture lets you see your website in as a Mac user sees it through the Safari. That’s very useful if you are creating a website using your PC and you want to know how it looks in a Mac.
On the other hand, if you are a Mac user and want to know how does your website look on a PC, ieCapture is your pal. Not only IE (5.01,5.5 and 6), it lets you see your website with Mozilla Firefox as well as Opera.
