UK users, did you notice Firefox 3 has been announced, officially?

June 19, 2008 in Browsers | Permalink

Mozilla recently announced their stats for the recently announced Firefox 3. For such as a territory that's so Internet-savvy, the UK was fourth in the number of users, worldwide, who have downloaded the browser, with just over quarter of a million users. Quite frankly, that's only a few thousand more users than Computeractive readers. Considering the amount of UK users connected to the Internet, the announcement was either overlooked or ignored. Surely we're not a bunch of Internet Explorer users? Perhaps we're big fans of the new Opera 9.5?

Mozilla Firefox 3 is a compelling upgrade. At a basic level, it's much faster than the old Firefox 2. The user-interface has had an overhaul, it's more secure and, of course, is the browser that will be updated and supported from now onwards.
