[Creeva.Com] Being Excited About a New Browser
It's been a long time since I've beeen excited about a new browser.
Theoretically I've never been excited about a new browser that was
announced. I remember being excited when AOL resurrected Netscape - but
that turned into a flaming pile of poo and Netscape lost dominance
being THE browser to use. Like many users at that time frame I used
Internet Explorer 5 and at the time it was best of breed, then a new
challenger arose.The Mozilla foundation announced they were taking the
open source bits of the Netscape browser and making a new slimmer
browser called Firebird. Because of issues of legal and copyright,
Firebird was renamed to Firefox. I've been using this browser since
Firebird and I have had no reason to move to a different primary
browser. I've tried Flock and Safari, there hasn't been a sticky reason
to keep using those over Firefox. I was excited, kind of, of the
release of Firefox version 3. But that wasn't a new and different
browser, it was more of the same.With last nights announcement of
Google's New Chrome Browser, but they put up a nice little web comic
that explains the features it offers. The security, privacy,
performance enhancements alone make this a must watch for browser. WHen
it is actually released later today, we'll see how I feel then.
