    Firefox 4.

    Just trying out this new Firefox 4 and I must say that I find it a lot faster loading Digital Kaos. I'm not big into add-ons but, as I say, it is a lot faster.

      Giving it a go now, looks and runs ok at the minute, can't see a big difference speed wise but its early days. Thanks

        Haven't tested version 4. I was a fan of it, but ever since Chrome got out, and it's way faster, I kinda lost interest. Testing it now for a spin, hope to see improvements. Lots of them..

        EDIT: Honestly, impressed. Seems a whole lot faster than its predecessor. Guess technology is shared after all, it seems to tend towards Chrome

          The extra screen 'real estate' that 4 gives you is a big bonus for those on netbooks/notebooks.

            Lets hope they've thinned pout some of the bloat issues that have dogged Firefox for the past year or so. I've had a few issues with the beta 4 releases recently, mainly running in VMWare instances on a Mac, later beta 4 releases seemed a lot more stable. Still got to put the RC version through it's paces though.

                              I'm using Firefox 4 RC2 and I like it so much. I noticed that it is more responsive and faster to load pages than IE9.
