We’ve been waiting for it since a while, but here it is, the new version of Firefox.
If you’re been living under a rock for the past year or so, Firefox is an OpenSoure web browser that innovates in many ways. It’s steadily gaining ground over Internet Explorer, who also launched their new version of their browser lately.
However, when I look at my statistics, most of you have not been living under a pile of rocks, as in the last month, 38% of you were using Firefox, against 40% for Internet Explorer.
You’ll then be happy to know that Firefox’s new features are
- Built-in anti-phishing protection
- A new, and good looking, theme
- Better tabbed browsing (whereas Internet Explorer 7 introduces tabbed browsing)
- Better RSS feed management
- Many extensions that were used in version 1 are now built-in Firefox 2.0
- And many more!
If you haven’t tried Firefox yet, go download it as soon as possible and start enjoying surfing on the Internet!
