Judging by the numbers, a good amount of you downloaded Firefox 3 during World Download Day on Tuesday. Curious as to how the HTML rendering engine in Firefox looks rendering your websites? Yeah, you probably weren’t, but now that there are these neat videos of how it works, maybe you are? Above is a visualisation of Gecko processing a Wikipedia page. After the jump, Mozilla.org. Science!
Just like they did when Firefox 2 dropped, Microsoft has sent the guys over at Mozilla a congratulatory cake. The nerd food was delivered in person and was graciously accepted by the Firefox crew, who managed to hold back snide remarks about the cake’s standard compliance and proprietary recipe long enough to take a few pictures. At least Microsoft has a sense of humour about their eroding market share. [Al Billings]
