Go Firefox Go!

For those of you who haven't downloaded Firefox 3.5 yet. Do it. Now. Why? Because Firefox is kicking ass and taking names.

Seriously though, I've downloaded the new one, as well as looked over the list of new and improved stuff. It's significant. One thing I'm really interested with, and I think will really change the face of the web is the new video & audio html tags. These allow web developers to insert video and audio objects into pages using standardized and open source formats.

This theoretically means that once all the browsers implement this, that you can go to any page, watch their content, and never have to worry about video/audio codecs!

Speaking of which, from here on out, I'm going to be using this on my websites. Thanks to the graceful fallback, if your browser is crap, instead of the video, you'll get a message about your browser being crap.

They've also added support for some of the CSS3 elements. Unfortunately those don't always fail as gracefully, as well as the CSS3 standard isn't complete yet, so most browsers won't support it yet. For now I don't have anything I really need from CSS3, so I'll leave that alone.

Anyway, go download it. NOW!
