#fx4

If you use twitter or are into the new version of the popular webbrowser Mozilla Firefox you know what the tittle of this blogpost means. Since my first attempts to browse the interwebz in the distant 2004, I have always been into new software or simply new versions of the software that I used. So, my anticipation for the 4th generation of one of my favourite browsers was something that I was looking for.

But why? Well, as I am using a laptop that has quite the limited screen, 1366×768 that is, the battle for space that I can view the webpage has been visious. The older versions of Firefox that I used were not so suitable for this kind of screen and frankly speaking the constant scrolling was nerve-wrecking. With the arrival of Google Chrome my eyes were opened and I saw the light! This is just a figure of speach of course. The difference was huge! 25 pixels were added to my usable browser window and those really did the trick.

With the heavely revamped UI of Firefox it is finally reaching its rival in this aspect. That, I think, is good news because although Chrome is really good browser, I will always be a Foxer. I will not go into more details about the new changes or the reasons why I chose Firefox before everyone else. Many have written and are writing about this. I just wanted to express my sincere happiness about #fx4. Geeky ain’t I?

Oh and I almost forgot.. Do you know what the youtube test is? Well it’s not connected to performance of the browser when displaying HD videos for example. It’s simply the ability to see the whole video when you are watching the expanded video, without the need to scroll down a bit
