I {Heart} Firefox 3

In a previous rant on this blog, I complained about displays with pixels that were too small. As a result of ever tinier pixels, things like fonts on web pages often ended up far too small to read comfortably, and increasing the text size in web browsers often resulted in web pages rendering incorrectly (often making them unreadable), and increasing the text size in the browser does not help make the graphics on web pages bigger.

Enter Firefox 3 and its new zooming enhancements. Not only does zoom increase the font size, but it also zooms the graphics and it almost always continues to render the web site correctly (so there is no weird overlapping sections or unreadable sections). (IE7 also has a zoom feature, but in my experience, it's buggy to the point of uselessness.)

This is just a simple fan boy post. Thank you, Mozilla. Thank you, Firefox developers. And thank you, Google, for being largely responsible for funding them.

Long live Firefox!
