FIREFOX 4 - Is it the best browser at the moment:

The stable Firefox 4 has been made available from the launchpad repositories of Ubuntu. The browser is lightning fast (miles ahead than the 3.X versions if we believe their website) and is cool in its appearance. Many new features have been added the major one being the addons manager, which is a unified space to search for the add-ons within the browser or from the sidebar. The side bar is pretty and holds the Add-ons manager, bookmarks button browsing history etc. The tabs have been shifted ABOVE the location bar (aka the Awesome Bar), which can be customized to provide a chrome look. There are many new features the users can use to make the Firefox4 look like what they want, and make the browsing experience enjoyable. For example: the "foxtab" which I installed Gives a 3D visual of the tabs that I used before, and clicking on each window will open that in the same tab, awesome experience see the screen shot below.

 

Mozilla is reinventing the Firefox with this version and hope that this version with its cool looks and fast (faster than Chrome on my Kubuntu 10.04 64bit) browsing and minimal CPU requirements (again on my Kubuntu Lucid it uses lesser CPU than Chrome or Opera).

Overall there is considerable speed improvements (faster than chrome at the moment), and the looks are really improved and features are the ones that every user would enjoy. Try Firefox4 today and see the difference if you are a chrome or opera user.
