New Improved Firefox 3

Firefox 3 has broken a Guinness record. This article is not for that reason. The record was broken for the maximum number of downloads in a single day.
I am talking about the improved performance and features of Firefox.

Firefox 3 is very fast compared to any other browser. Previously, Opera was the fastest browser and Firefox was second. Safari and IE are nowhere in the race. Firefox 3 has also removed the memory leak and is quite stable (although I think the memory leaks were already removed in some previous version).
Plus, Firefox has now some very cool add-on extensions. These extensions in fact help in improving the speed of browsing.

1. Adblock Extension: This is one great extension which is used for blocking all kinds of ads on a webpage. Not just irritating banners, flash ads, and popups, but also the text-based ads. As a result, the webpage looks extremely clean. No ads just content. It is almost like a dream-come-true!

2. Flashblock Extension: This is another very useful extension used for blocking all kinds of flash on a webpage. Sometimes, a webpage itself has irritating flash (rather than in the ads). Flashblock disables all the flash present on a page. Moreover, just by clicking on the flash, that flash can be enabled. So, youtube videos can be watched while other kind of flash is blocked.

3. Firegestures: I also like fire gestures, which is used for using mouse gestures to operate the browser. The mouse gestures feature comes by default in Opera browser. Fire-gestures has built on that feature and have many more kind of options and gestures than Opera browser.
