Firefox 4 Beta 1 was out last night, and I want to tell you it’s pretty amazing.

Firefox 3 was really slow to launch. Now it takes about 1-2 seconds to launch the browser itself comparing to 5-7 seconds launching Firefox 3. Surprisingly, I really liked the overall experience with the browser. The UI is different. It’s kinda looks like Google Chrome now. The top bar with the tabs is now at the very top.

I used Google Chrome for about a year now and I still like it more than Firefox 4 Beta 1 because of only one reason: SPEED. Google Chrome has an amazing speed loading pages. I’ve used all the popular web browsers, and Google Chrome is the fastest. Firefox 4′s speed is improved, but still is not as fast. Keep it up guys! You’re going the right way!

I’m going to switch from Google Chrome to Firefox 4 for now just to test it.

Are you bored with your Windows or Mac environment? Do you want to try something new? Well, go ahead and try Google Chrome OS! As I said in previous posts, I am a fan of Google products, and I try to use all of them. So, gdgt got a working version of Google Chrome OS for ya! Just go to http://gdgt.com/google/chrome-os/download/ and register. You’ll need VMware Player (or VMware Fusion for Macs) to get it running. VirtualBox can also use VMware VMDK images, but it isn’t always perfect. If you don’t know how to install it, please go to this website, and follow the instructions.

Now, this is a developer build, so it has A LOT OF bugs. In addition, the OS is very slow (at least on my computer). Overall, I liked Chrome OS. I liked the design and the idea. Personally, I think this is the future OS because we all are getting high speed internet, so why do we need to buy software in a store? Just buy it online, and use it online. No need to download anything.
