New browser versions - not a ho hum experience.
It's a nice time to take new web browsers for a spin. I noted that the new Firefox 3 Release Candidate has been bottled up in a portable app for your testing pleasure, without the risks of corrupting your status quo of resident browsers and browser profiles. There's been news too of Opera 9.5 showing some spirit. Now it has also been bottled up in OperaUSB, so again, you can test it without risk. I've been keeping an eye on Kejut but he must be busy so OperaUSB's fine. One thing you'll notice with Opera 9.5 is that it is appears surprisingly fast - even against Firefox 3. And that nice fit to width feature suits fixed width webpages as used in several web forums (like our Bleeding Edge Forum) when you are limited by a lower width screen. As in earlier versions, the magnify feature also makes the text significantly bigger for readability without jaggies. Lifehacker's just published rule of thumb speedtests.
Give Opera 9.5 a spin, your eyes will thank you. (Note - Clicking on this thumbnail will display the full size screen capture and pop up advertising from the image hosting website)
