Who let the dogs out?!?!? If you hadn't seen the news yet, Firefox 3 (dogs = canidae, and so are foxes...) has been officially released. This is exciting news for all web warriors, regardless of operating system. While this fox doesn't quite match up to it's brethren, Safari and Opera in terms of CSS3 compatibility and general web rendering features, it is a huge leap forward for operating system performance and optimization. If you're a Mac user you may remember the 1.5 days, where you could go make a pot of coffee while Firefox was starting up. Firefox 2 was better, but still not where Mac users expect their applications to be. Some of us, for a time, used Camino but that's nothing more then a joke... Firefox 3 is a pleasant surprise for Mac folk, who will notice considerably improved load times and Aqua features we simply expect from real mac applications. I highly recommend downloading this new release if you haven't already.
Disclaimer: I still strongly support the adoption of Safari 3.1 and would still recommend it's use over above Firefox 3 due to it's early adoption of new web technologies and overall integration with the OS X world.
