Firefox 3.5 is out
Posted on June 30th, 2009 by Brad
So, Firefox 3.5 was just released. I’ll try it out tonight probably but I just wanted to make a few comments. First, version 3.5 supports the HTML 5 <video> and <audio> tags which just re-enforces my “no flash on the iPhone, ever” theory because it means that even more of the industry is accepting the web standard. So to recap, Safari, Chrome, and now Firefox all support the standard. Where you at Microsoft?
Second, Mozilla sets the standard in my opinion for releasing software. If you check out the download page you’ll see that on day one of the release it’s available on all 3 major platforms and in over 70 languages. This has pretty much always been the case as far as I can remember. Bravo Mozilla. This is where Chrome falls short in my opinion because while it’s an excellent browser on the Windows platform, it’s buggy and absolutely unfinished on a Mac. And that’s a shame.
My current browser of choice is Safari but I always look forward to trying out a new version of Firefox because Mozilla always puts out a polished, solid browser unlike the polished, solid turd that is Internet Explorer.
