Playing with Firefox 3.1beta2

Well, after a long time playing with nightly Webkit because Firefox wasn't so good on my mac, I decided to give it a try again with 3.1 beta2 and.... Wow! It's amazing! Super fast and I can even say that it seems faster than last webkit builds. I also liked that it seems to use a little less cpu than webkit which is very nice! Kudos to Mozilla Firefox people who is doing an excellent job regarding performance of firefox on OSX and from what I saw on other OS's too.

And today I knew Shiira...

And I loved it! I know I said about using firefox 3 and liking it, but after some days I was not confortable with it. I think I could get more. After some research, I found about Shiira on google search and decided to give it a try. I loved its speed. Also it needs very few resources. At least processor power. I'm still investigating memory usage which I thought it was a little too much for some pages I opened.  I also liked it because if uses WebKit rendering engine which I think is faster than gecko. Also, it is opensource, so I'm very happy and for while doesn't need to use the proprietary Safari. For while I'm enjoying it very much. Shiira homepage: http://shiira.jp/en.php
