    I’ve just had Windows XP installed on my work Mac (using VMware Fusion) - which is proving to be awesome for checking out designs/sites through the horrifying world of a PC browser (geez PC… ever think about looking into anti-aliasing!?).

    There’s a heap of free Mac applications out there that claim to be useful - almost all of them are absolute crap.

Actually, it works a little bit better - in the way that it looks nice and puts favicons next to my bookmarks (yes, that IS a big deal). I occasionally had to use Firefox v.2 for development stuff (using Firebug), but wouldn’t use it as my default browser, as it is ugly as hell.

    Then came Firefox 3 beta. It was fairly similar to version 2 if you’ve been using that, except it looks different, and had a whole host of unique and fixed features (below). So Camino went in the bin, Firefox 2 got put aside, and Firefox 3 got set to primary browser - and here’s why… (more…)

    I might buy it - although the logo is shit!
