Firefox 4 Beta Released!

fair enough SJsha. Good point. It could do with development. It still doesn't support CSS 3 or HTML 5 properly. Pretty disappointing. I'll just delete it again. Chrome is still way ahead. eg check this link in Chrome and this beta FF http://www.sencha.com/deploy/touch/e...s/kitchensink/

Mr Happy Reviewed by Mr Happy on 29th Jun 2010. Firefox 4 Beta Released! Firefox 4 Beta 1 is released. Conceivably Tech has noticed that Mozilla has quietly uploaded a Firefox 4 Beta 1 candidate build to its FTP server. No release notes or announcements have been made as of this post, but surely Mozilla will make the public aware of the final beta release when it's ready. As discussed yesterday, Firefox 4 Beta 1 brings a whole new user interface to the browsers aging layout. Gone is the boring old grey (except in Windows XP, as seen above). Replacing it is an Rating: 5

The HTML5 hype is getting a bit old tbh. You guys do realize that at this point there is no complete HTML5 specification? HTML5 is not done yet and the stuff which is already done is still subject to change. It would be a waste of time to add all current HTML5 stuff. Google can piss away time/money/resources, Mozilla can't. And because FF is completely open source it is normal to find nightly builds on their FTP etc. That's what open source is about.

In all fairness, FF is still the best browser out there. Who has the most complete HTML5 implementation is irrelevant.

I accepted the open source point made earlier by SJsaha and that's true about the HTML 5 not being finished but it's pretty much at the stage where the amount of change is becoming minimal. As far as it's CSS 3 support goes Chrome is still far ahead of it.
People will always have their preferences. Mine is light weight and speed and thats why I prefer Chrome. Most still prefer FF while their's the few that still cling onto IE. It's basically a question of taste and personal preferences.
