Oh hey Coriander, FireFox Beta 3 may have sucked, but Release Candidate 1 was released recently, I think. It is even better than IE 8 Beta 1. Why oh why does the good just keep gettin' better.

Even though I do believe FireFox 3 RC1 is faster and has not as many issues as IE 8 Beta 1. I do think that both browsers are top notch.

Example of FireFox 3 not supporting a tad bit of either CSS or Javascript, I've yet to take the time to look into the code

(to the right of the message you post is the color, it is black in FF3, while IE 8 shows it as the proper color)

Those are some of the problems I've seen with IE8. Also, IE8 is a bit slow. It just lags a lot, and tends to leave one box when writing Decimal and Hex HTML unicode format for no reason, even though the second time I write the same character it appears with no problems.

FireFox 2 = Takes a lot Memory (Problem for Some Laptops)
FireFox 3 RC1 = Handles Memory and overall performance far better than IE8 and FF2. Loading Speeds in Pages have improved.
Internet Explorer 7 = Takes not nearly as much memory as FF2, but supports far less CSS than more standard browsers.
Internet Explorer 8 Beta 1 = Rocks, but has some serious lag issues.


Get FF3 RC1 Coriander, it will rock your world more than IE 8!
