Firefox 3.5 claims to be 2 times faster than it's 3.x version which is a great news as now every browser is in the race to get fastest Javascript execution engine in it's core.

So I got my Firefox 3.x alert claiming that newer and better version 3.5 is available and it's a recommended upgrade. Just now before couple of hours I have updated to Firefox 3.5 using it's auto-updater feature and when it restored previously open tabs and I noticed first change in this blogs title fonts.

Here, in below image you can see blog post title which has taken "Lucida Grande" as Font to render and it was same for rest of the browsers as well. Because Internet Explorer, Safari and Chrome all display it in the same manner.

Google Chrome has been arrived now since while..!

And war of browsers is continue with added competitor. End users are going to benefit from this as they will get better user experience as an end result of all these browser competition. So as the outcome we as end users will get feature rich, friendly, fast and secure browsing experience from most of the browsers as all of them will try to raise the bar.

Yes, Web Developers have one more browser in the list to be tested for their application or web site compatibility. Chrome is in it's beta and didn't passed ACID test yet.

There are some really nice features like:

  • In-build Task manager for ending process of each tab or viewing details of each tab.
  • Incognito mode. (Don't leave any trails when you browse).
  • Separate process running for each tab, so that one bad page won't crash rest of the tabs.
  • Ability to drag tabs out of the browser window. (That's fantastic..!)
  • Great space saving and clean look and design giving maximum viewing area for a web page.
  • Ominibox as smart Addressbar

If you didn't tried it yet, then give it a try. You can download it here.
