Posts about “The Internet”
With the recent release of Firefox 3 Beta 5, the end is in sight for an official release of this popular browser (in the meantime, Internet Explorer 8 Beta 1 has just come out). Here are some of the improvements Firefox 3 has over it’s predecessor:
Faster (better memory management). Two to four times faster than Firefox 2.
Safer. Scans for malware and checks for phishing.
More intuitive address bar (with autofill feature).
For those of you who aren’t familiar with it, Brijit is a website that publishes 100-word summaries of various web, TV, radio, and print media. The idea is that there is so much information out there - wouldn’t it be nice if we had the short-short version so we can get the gist of it and decide if it’s worth reading or watching the whole thing.
It’s a neat idea, but with so much content out there, it would be impossible for an editorial team to cover it all.
