Firefox v.3 is available for testing now.
Code named Gran Paradiso Alpha 1 the new browser is expected to bring a number of improvements to my favorite browser:
- Cairo is now being used as the default graphics library, affecting all graphic and text rendering
- Cocoa Widgets are now used in OS X builds
- An updated threading model
- Changes to how DOM events are dispatched (see bug 234455)
- Changes to how object elements are loaded (see bug 1156)
- Changes to how web pages are painted
- New SVG elements and filters, and improved SVG specification compliance
I don’t recommend downloading the trial version unless you plan on doing a lot of programming with it – but it’s out there if you’re interested.
