hey guys so today I'm here with my hands on Firefox 4 beta 1 i'm says this just came out a couple hours ago I've had some time to run a few tests and to play around with a little bit and overall I'm pretty impressed so that let's go ahead and just start whisking of the most obvious thing which is the interface I'm so as you guys can see it is Firefox has made a big jump in this direction it's actually gone away from there having the tabs on the bottom and now it looks very similar to Chrome but mostly opera on so as you guys can see here you have the Firefox menu button which will go ahead and pull up a lot of your buttons and options and stuff then you have your tabs on top and then you have you know your back buttons and address bar and all that kind of stuff so guys this looks extremely similar to opera and also chrome which is not a bad thing guys just because the tabs on top idea works one small quibble about it though is that as you guys can see here with the Firefox button it takes up this entire upper section of the browser and really there's nothing else there so i prefer the opera's way of doing it of you know actually having the tabs right beside it or even chrome of just not having a button there at all but you know it's not a huge deal it's just a little bit of screen real estate I'm so as you guys can see windows Aero glass is really heavily and integrated so as you guys can see here the tabs or transparent everything is transparent when you're using windows seven on this is a great touch in addition you also arrow peak so all you have to do is just come down here and just hover over it and you can go ahead and take your look at your different tabs which is a great feature but guys in case you're wanting to you know go back to the same way Firefox used to be of course it is Firefox and it's totally customizable so let's go ahead we can do a bunch of things come down to customize we can go ahead and get rid of the tabs on top so it's a more of a you know like a standard Firefox layout and if we want would go even farther we can go ahead and customize put the menu bar back so as you can guys can see within just two clicks we're pretty much back to where you know Firefox used to be just with a lot of aero glass so guys it's very customizable let's go ahead and just put it back to the way it was so and just go through here and so yeah guys so course Firefox and that's not even counting their themes and looks pretty good already I'm so guys let's go ahead talk a little bit about speed so as you guys can see it's a pretty fat things listed quite and pick on a page I'm guys I've run a couple of tests on it now do keep in mind that you know this is just come out I will have a full browser comparison test before too long here but just with my preliminary tests it is a pretty decent step up so as you guys can see I ran the Peacekeeper benchmark on Iran with several browsers around with opera 10.6 on the latest beta build of google chrome safari five the 3.66 3.66 of firefox and then the beta for as you and as you guys can see firefox beta 4 is quite a bit faster I'm sorry not beta for Firefox 4 beta all these crazy names so as you guys can see it's a decent step up but guys actually I wouldn't really pay too much attention to this of course you know opera is almost twice as much but actually I really like the speed on it it is actually really quite fast so guys I mean this is kind of something hard to show you guys in a screencast it's really something that you need to download it for yourself but in general guys I'm coming off of chrome and I really haven't noticed any kind of major difference yeah maybe a half second here a third a second here but really guys in practice you're not really going to notice anything so guys of course one of the bigger things was just released on the main build of Firefox was crash support that guys personally this was one of the major things I've always had against Firefox or at least in recent years is that it is very crash groan I mean you know it's always crashing here usually because of flash and stuff as you guys can see here which go to my channel of course flash ports just fine but the thing is well say i'm watching this video and halfway through flash dies which is you know something pretty common well instead of you know crashing the entire firefox browser it will basically just wait a few seconds and if it's still not responding you basically just get a tad page very similar to in chrome or just says you know it flashed died or whatever and you're all set you know you know you don't lose anything which is really great I'm so yeah guys that's about it there's not a whole lot to say I will of course have a full speed test because I do think there's more to it I think that's peacekeeper it's a pretty good benchmark but you're just in real-world testing Firefox 4 is pretty fast I'm so guys go ahead if you want to go ahead and check and this is of course the beta go ahead and hit the link in the description you can go ahead and download it for yourself today try it out sootch think so yeah guys anyway thanks for watching
