[...] Simon Mackie | Tuesday, June 30, 2009 | 8:53 AM PT | 0 comments Mozilla has just released the final version of Firefox 3.5. The JavaScript performance — critical for many web apps — is massively improved thanks to the new TraceMonkey engine, making 3.5 feel very fast indeed. In addition to improved performance and standards compliance, Firefox 3.5 also features new privacy controls, location-aware browsing, and the ability to play video and audio content without using plugins. A quick video tour of the new version is available here. Firefox 3.5 is a free download for Windows, Mac and Linux from Mozilla. (The post was originally posted on Web Worker Daily which has also reviewed the release candidate for this new browser.) [...]

@adampasz – I use it to cheat in Mafia Wars. No, seriously, it good for userscripts in WordPress and other sites.

@rick – yep, extensions are FF’s major advantage over all the others. No matter how fast Chrome is until is has that extension ecosystem, it will find it hard to really compete (though, personally, I do really like Chrome and would probably switch to it if spellcheck worked in WordPress)

I’ve been using 3.5 since b2. I recently downloaded the early Chrome builds for the Mac and the two browsers are both about as fast on real world JS heavy sites. Given that I use several extensions I just don’t see a reason to move to Chrome at all.

If you need an extension that’s not 3.5 compatible install Nightly Tester Tools from the Mozilla addons site – you can force 3.5 to thin it’s compatible and for most extensions, that seems to work fine.

Thanks. What do you use Greasemonkey for? Seems like it’s mainly used by people to cheat at Mafia Wars. ;)
