Today is Download Day

So it has been called to this day (17 of June), in which Mozilla Google Plans to win the Guinness prize for the most downloads of Firefox, in its 3 version.

So if you already use it, it is a good time to update ... and if you are still using Internet Explorer, maybe it is a good time to try it. As I commented previously, My stats, Indicate that 270 of every 1000 visitors to this site use Firefox.

Among the advantages that Firefox 3 promises are some new pirouettes, and possibly improvements to existing ones.

imageImprovements in to maximise security and your enjoyment., You can clean your personal information you have provided on secure pages with a single click, while you can see the warning of unsafe sites.

image La Personalization., This is quite handy with the use of Ad-ons, among my favorites is the automatic AdSense report, online image clipper and spell checker at the time of blogging.

Some productivity Very good is the control of downloads, you can pause or resume whenever you want, it is also very good to zoom both image and full page and restorer session when it closes unexpectedly.

imageThe tabs Within the same navigation window it has improved a lot, with the drag, reorder, the right-click options to undo the closing and especially the navigation between one and the other using the "ctrl + tab"

The use universal Will be the most points you have earned, as it is available in more than 40 languages.

En tiempo... it is to prove it, I feel it faster, especially in dynamic pages or with a lot of data download such as maps ... I suppose that the developments with jscript and ajax should take advantage of it. For now I have not hung up and I feel a better performance.

The Mozilla strategy Google Is being very aggressive in this field, it finally seems that with its dominance over the Internet will give a blow to Microsoft in the use of browsers.

    Yes, but it is notorious that Google wants to use firefox as a weapon against Microsoft.

    When using AdSense, and you want to place Google products, they identify Firefox as one of their products and pay up to 1 dollars for you to install

    Is very similar to the relationship that they brought with Panoramio, in the end they acquired it. In this case Google will possibly maintain its support to Firefox in a way of collaboration in favor of improving the use of the internet and to have access to data anti-pishing, in step save the problem of being accused of monopoly as happened to Microsoft
