The long awaited Firefox 3 is coming on June 17th and the guys at firefox want to set a Guiness world record! They want to beat the record for a single piece of software downloaded in 24hrs. All you have to do is go to spreadfirefox.com and pledge you are going to download on Tuesday and ofcourse download it! I've already seen some people on the forums with the little logo in there sigs so I know some of you already know about it but hey!

Definitely going to do this! And what a coincidence, I just read my pcmag issue and it had an article about the big three and their new developments (IE, Firefox, Opera)

I wonder why they didn't include Safari... oh well.

I'll download it to give it a try. Safari is much superior though, check it out if you haven't.

Brad: Safari is only the best browser on Mac OS X, the speed was all taken on OS X.

QUOTE
Performance measured in seconds. Testing conducted by Apple in March 2008 on a 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo-based iMac system running Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.2, configured with 1GB of RAM and an ATI Radeon HD 2600 with 256MB of VRAM. HTML and JavaScript benchmarks based on VeriTest’s iBench Version 5.0 using default settings. Testing conducted with a beta version of Safari; all other browsers were shipping versions. Performance will vary based on system configuration, network connection and other factors.


msiber: They didn't include Safari because its not one of the top browsers.. Although for some peculiar reason, it's the fastest, and has the best rendering engine of them all.

tom: guys at firefox want to set a Guiness world record!


Oh, I thought it was the Guinness world record they were going for, must be a new one ;-)

QUOTE
The fastest web browser on any platform, Safari loads pages up to 3 times faster than Firefox 2 and up to 5.5 times faster than Opera 9.
