browser wars…again

So the wars have begun again. Mozilla released its third beta of firefox3.1. With the anticipation of IE8, Safari 4, Chrome, & Opera 10, Mozilla is deep in the middle battle.

It seems that one of the biggest battle grounds of this war is over speed. I tried the beta 2 of FF and didn’t really notice any speed differences. Though this is from my eeepc (with the old celeron, not even the newer atom processor) so that could be the biggest bottleneck right there.

I’m a sucker for shiny new things, so I have already downloaded the FF 3.1b3. I hear development on chrome for linux is moving quickly, that will be nice to try out too. If I’m impressed with the new beta, I might write some more about it.
