Still there&#8217;s still roughly half that are still using IE, and given Firefox 3 is out, it doesn&#8217;t hurt to spread the word.<!--more-->I really appreciate the work that was put in Firefox 3. Some people say nothing has really changed in their browser experience&#8230; not for me. Its definitely snappier than v2 among other things, but for the most part it&#8217;s those little things they&#8217;ve added that make it a winner in my book.<\/p>\n<p>For example, one of the simple things they&#8217;ve implemented which to me, is one major improvement and just puts FF3 ahead in the game is this:<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<a rel=\"lightbox\" href=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3008\/2607891720_ff1887351e_o.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"You may click on the image for more details\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3008\/2607891720_bca919fc4e_m.jpg\"><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>For those who don&#8217;t get what they&#8217;ve just seen. Firefox is able to match URLs to what you&#8217;ve typed even if the word you&#8217;re typing is located mid-stream of a URL. So like in the picture, typing in <code>narga<\/code> registered all URLs which contained the string <strong>regardless<\/strong> where it was located (e.g. notice how <code>narga<\/code>lzius was at the end of the Flickr URL and it still matched.)<\/p>\n<p>For those of you who use the Apple laptops, Spotlight and Quicksilver do similar matching styles, so it may not be anything new to us, but it <em>is<\/em> worth mentioning that not even Safari has that matching capability right now &#8211; which is just daft considering it&#8217;s from Apple.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just for the heck of it, I checked the stats on my site as far as what browsers my readers have been using.
