Interesting post, I never really noticed that!

I think Firefox 3 is the best Firefox that has been released yet. I like it a lot, but I don't think I can give it the title of the "Best Browser Yet." I still love Safari.

After using FireFox 3 final release for a while, I switch back to Safari. IMHO, the final release is less stable than its' beta/RC edition. Weird.

I gotta say, I've never cared much for the subtleties of acid tests, etc, but really for speed, compatibility with the sites Ive used and general fluid browsing, and for that I've stuck with camino until the recent Safari which has gotten quite good. Until now.

I always thought FF was very clunky on the mac, felt like a windows app. But, I happen to really like FF3 - it feels lightning fast, and I've had no troubles, and the awesome bar is well...awesome.

Bump. I like Firefox most of the time, but I also like to look at the competition, and I have to say Opera deserves a lot of credit.
