I'd just like to say that Firefox 2 RC3 on the Mac is soopa fast and so much more betterer than the heap that is 1.5.x. Over one hour in and not a single beach ball - something that would take less than 5 minutes before.

Cool. I loooove my Safari but I might just check out Firefox 2 when they release it for real.

Hey, I'm tempted. I used to be all over betas when it was my job to be up to date but lately I'm pretty meh.

Bet half my extensions don't work, though.

My extensions (now "add ons") weren't too bad. The only ones I really really need (Web Developer, View Source Chart) work. There were updates for some, but Paste And Go is dead (waaagh!) and Tails Export doesn't currently work.

I've always used Safari but it's got some really annoying missing features such as draggable tabs (I think these are in Safari 3). FF2 on the Mac is a huge improvement - Safari 3 needs to be a whole lot better for me not to wander away from it.

Yeah, I am impressed with RC3 too. I am glad it has clickable tab closing like Safari now.
