I realize that I am a little late to the party with respects to reviewing Firefox 3.6, but there is a reason for this; I wanted to give the new version some real time to impress me, especially since I have always been a fan of IE8 (I know, I know). After a couple weeks of solid home use, I honestly have to say that I was impressed with the new version. When it comes to internet browsers, there are as many options as there are websites, it sometimes seems. And I do realize that there are casual users and fanboys, who take their browser more seriously than life itself. I’m not comparing Firefox to other options (okay, a little bit) and I’m not saying one is better than the others (okay, maybe I will), so keep your claws in fanboys, this is just a friendly review and my opinion.

Hey! There's absolutely NO reason to be ashamed. IE8 is an excellent, and safe browser, and NO one should be faulted, or feel bad for using it. The choice of browser has NOTHING to do with security or performance anymore - and only a matter of personal preference for the "look and feel" of the product.

After all, regardless the browser of choice, we still have to practice safe computing by keeping our systems updated, patched, scanned and blocked, and we still must avoid risky practices - like illegal filesharing.
