New Browser Releases

It's been a busy few months for the browser companies. First we had the release of Opera 9.5 which came out to rave reviews after it did so well in the ACID3 test. Then hot on its heels was the eagerly awaiting release of Firefox 3. It was estimated that there were well over 8 million downloads of the popular Mozilla web browser on the first day alone!! Some of the add-ons may not yet be compatible with v3 but the developers are hurrying their way to ensuring that this doesn't stay this way.

You can download them both for yourself below:

> Opera 9.5

With Microsoft set to follow this with the release of Internet Explorer 8 sometime late 2008 the browser war is really hotting up. Hopefully Microsoft have finally listened to web developers across the globe and IE8 will be their most successful release yet...!
