Xa está “na rúa” o Mozilla Firefox 3.5

Xa saíu unha nova versión estable do Mozilla Firefox, a 3.5. Copio un extracto da nota de prensa que o anuncia oficialmente:

“Mozilla Advances the Web with Firefox 3.5″

Major update to browser delivers significant performance improvements, privacy enhancements, support for new Web standards, and greater customization options.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CALIF. – June 30, 2009 – Mozilla, a public-benefit organization dedicated to promoting choice and innovation on the Internet, today released Firefox® 3.5, a major update to its popular, free and open source Web browser. Coming one year after the launch of the critically acclaimed Firefox 3, Firefox 3.5 introduces cutting-edge features, as well as new support for a wide variety of Web standards.

Firefox 3.5 is the best performing browser Mozilla has ever released and delivers radically improved JavaScript performance, a new Private Browsing mode, native support for open video and audio, and Location Aware Browsing. The newest version of Firefox is more than two times faster than Firefox 3 and ten times faster than Firefox 2 on complex websites. With extensive under-the-hood work to support new technologies, Firefox 3.5 is the most powerful and complete modern browser and helps upgrade the Web experience. [...]

Eu levo semanas probando as últimas versións beta e release candidate e a velocidade non me pareceu que fose tanta como di a nota de prensa. Pero eu non recomendo Firefox pola súa rapidez, senón pola súa seguridade, pola versatilidade que ofrecen as súas extensións e o seu código aberto, e polo compromiso da Fundación Mozilla co software libre, cos estándares web e cunha internet que sexa patrimonio dos cidadáns e non so do mercado.

Escollan o idioma e o sistema operativo que queiran, porque navegador non o encontrarán millor… :-)
