Or if you don't believe me, their main page has a download link too.

Much faster and definitely worth the download.

Thanks for the heads up.

I've been using Google Chrome for a month or so and I really like it.

I've been using it for a while on my laptop but I'm gonna try out 3.5 for the time being. I love how simple and fast Chrome is but I think Firefox 3.5 matched the speed this release.

Yeah, FF3 pretty much made me choose Chrome over Firefox. The new one is noticeably better. Give it a try--No harm done.

Thanks will do, I remember downloading 3 and HATING it then my PC gave me trouble going back to 2 or whatever it is. So I'm scared to try it. But this one sounds noticeabley better.

Well, if you don't want to risk it, then don't bother getting it. It's much better than the original releases but IE and Chrome work fine. What are you currently using?

FF 2 or 2. something so it might not be bad to try. I've never tried chrome so I just need to get with the times lol.

Yeah, Chrome is really fast and simplistic. Some people have a problem with it because Google use your browsing history to make statistics on web browsing but there is an option to turn it off--Still, that doesn't stop people being paranoid about it.

IE has no problems. There a bunch of fanboys in the geek world that are totally against IE for whatever reason. In fact, they are against anything that isn't Firefox.

Personally, I'd go with the new Firefox as I see no major problems. Simple layout, great compatibility, and good speed. Nevertheless, you can't go wrong with IE.

IE used to suck a lot. It had no features and didn't comply properly with the latest HTML standards. It didn't correctly render all properly designed web sites.

Since IE 7, though, it's fine. Of course, I still prefer Firefox due to the wealth of plugins, but IE is no longer an awful choice.

not feeling the new "open a new tab" plus sign thing that's to the right of my current tabs, any way to get rid of it?

The old IE made me move to FF. And the old FF made me move to Chrome. Now the new FF made me move back... Funny that...

Yeah, somebody was complaining about that on another forum and he fixed it. I'll see what he says.

I like how adblock for FF3 automatically blocks stuff. I liked how fast Opera was but it wasn't blocking enough of the crap out there, maybe I'll give something else a try.

 

[Road Blocker]

I like adblock as well.

Downloaded 3.5 today, seems to work well for me so far. Faster than previous versions.

 

[Colonel Ronan]

Yeah, AdBlock is one of the best add-ons out there.
