Firefox is currently my browser of choice and they have their brand new version, Firefox 3 coming out soon. They are trying to set a World Record on that day by getting the highest number of people to download it in a 24 hour period.

They have set up a great site here, where you can pledge to download and get some cool badges to display on your site (mine is proudly displayed in the side bar).

So, go and pledge and get ready to download! For those of you still using Internet Explorer (I know some of you are from the blog stats), please try Firefox, or Safari. They are so much better!
