Firefox 2 Officially Out

So, after Internet Explorer 7, today is the day of Firefox 2.

The new version is available at http://www.getfirefox.com/.

The new interface is not changed too much, and this is probably for good. A new, very nice inline spell checker is added, so when you type text in text areas, you’ll be suggested for corrections.

The new for the RSS and ATOM feeds is that users now see a preview of the content being offered and are given the option to subscribe to a feed as a Live Bookmark, using a Web service such as Bloglines, My Yahoo!, or Google Reader, or with a desktop application.

The ’security’ is enforced by Phishing Protection filter which is active by default with a local blacklist that updates hourly, rather than sending information to an external online service. Phishing Protection provides warnings, advice and guidance when Firefox encounters a Web site that appears to be fraudulent or malicious. This model of phishing protection differs somehow from the phishing protection presented in IE7, where users can “report a web-site” and create problems for webmasters.

So, you can go and try it for free: http://www.getfirefox.com/ !
