We all know that Google is dominating the internet world with their best search engine and its web application services, what’s more with the latest launching of Google Chrome just a few days ago. Before that, Mozilla is claimed to be the best and most-used web browser application ever because of its famous tabbed function and its plugin but now it looks like Google Chrome is taking up the challenge against them.
The effect of the launching of Chrome quite well and its competitor Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Internet Explorer has taking serious action to improve their own browsers to be the best out of the best.
Mozilla Firefox had just launched its beta version of a much improvement browser Firefox 3.1 Alpha 2.
New Features:
- Support for the HTML 5 <video> element.
- Initial support for web worker threads.
- You can now drag and drop tabs between browser windows.
- New selector to create areas of Aero-style “glass” in XUL.
- Support for CSS 2.1 properties: ::before and ::after, and white-space:pre-line.
- Support for CSS 3 properties: -moz-border-image, word-wrap: break-word, text-shadow.
- Performance improvements and new preference values for color management profile support.
Internet Explorer 8 is launched too together with its new features such as improved search, improved zoom, smart address bar, tab grouping and one thing fascinating is the automatic crash recovery which were similar to Google Chrome where each tab has its own process so you won’t have to close the entire browser even though it is crashes.
