Firefox 3: Gran Paradiso Alpha 1

Everything sounds cooler when you name it like a game. Firefox 3: Gran Paradiso Alpha 1 is out. The final version of Firefox 3 isn’t due until Fall 2007, so this is a really early sneak peek.

And to think Firefox 2 came out less than two months ago, enhanced security and all. That’s open source dev for you. By contrast, over five years passed between Internet Explorer 6 and 7 — and it still sucks. Bill Gates will retire before Microsoft gets IE right.

Two IE7 Security Holes Found

It’s all over the mainstream media: Internet Explorer 7 has two massive unpatched security holes hackers could easily use to grab your personal information. The first hole spoofs Web addresses. The second hole reveals what you’re viewing.

Of course, don’t believe the mainstream media. See for yourself. See the first hole in action here. And the second hole here.

Of course, I don’t care about that stuff. Like many bloggers, I use Firefox. You should too.
