Firefox 3.5 - Review

Boy!

I'm using FireFox 3.5 RC3 and it's rocking fast! 😁😁

I guess Mozilla folks have incorporated their new javascript rendering engine in 3.5 and I can notice the speed!

Are you still on old FF?

    Well, unless Firefox start crashing; I'm not moving to any other browser.

    or Microsoft pays me to use IE8.

    Well, before I try it, I have this silly doubt. How can they increase browsing speed by making mods in the browser? Doesn't browsing speed depend on the modem and connection speed?

    The speed not only depends on connection speed. It does depend on how fast your browser can render web pages, complex javascript code and images.

    There are various techniques used. Smart Caching is one of them. Moreover, when Google wrote their Chrome Browser, they created a javascript engine V8 from scratch which was about 8 times as fast as any other javascript engine.
