Firefox 3.1 Beta disappoints

I was really happy while writing for the last post. Mozilla launching it's 3.1 beta just after IE 8 was fun. I was looking forward for more features and better pre-installed plug-ins. But I must say that Firefox 3.1 Beta disappoints on all fronts. First of all let me tell you about the new features that firefox 3.1 offers. It's the special character search function (developers, you really think people were waiting for such a feature?? complete waste of time folks). Now you can search your browsing history and bookmarks using special characters such as *,^,+ etc.
Not all that interesting, but please give it a try... You may like it. And make firefox people more hopeful. They have already blabbered a lot about this feature on their website. If you want to read all that please follow the link

Now you can open a new window from a existing tab just by dragging it outside the new tab region. This makes it comfortable to organize your browser tabs and windows if you are googling something :)
And now even firefox has got a private browsing environment but it is not as interesting as the IE 8 InPrivate.
Some of the other features are that it uses less space on the hard disk and comes with all new javascript and activeX content plug in.

And for all this Firefox is registering developers to test its new product. That way even I have updated my portfolio website. Beta testers required :) please check it out. comments and suggestions are welcome....

Internet Explorer -8

Microsoft has just updated it's web browser to Internet explorer - 8. All you geeks out there who preferred using Firefox just because it gave you a detailed history list, just try this microsoft baby and you will fall for it. All those people who love google and google products here is microsoft's answer to it. (even I love google but not chrome). Main reasons for hating chrome are :
1. Downloading it becomes a pain in the neck, as the file size is big and requires online support to download.
2. The interface is good but some important buttons are very hard to find.
Comparisons apart. Check out the new features :
The most amazing and completely fresh feature is the Inprivate browser. Now you can search for free **** and you do not need to worry about any search history. Cookie or cache files.. I'm in love with this feature.
Now chrome and firefox lovers here is something which you will also like a detailed browsing history menu.. It's lot more easier to surf back and forward now, if you have navigated to an unwanted page by mistake.
You get a detailed browsing history on the left hand side of the browser which is just awesome. Adding a page to favourite and bookmarking it is not required anymore.

My favourite on the firefox browser was its feature to surf unknown sites which suit your interest, now that microsoft has a bigger and better database it's much more fun visiting completely new and better sites.
5. Now all the help is just one click away from you. You just don't need to type that long addresses every time. just move your cursor to the right hand side of the browser and you get them all. All this for free----you were expecting for more....
then wait till the next update of chrome ha ha ha
