Is anyone else using FF 3.6 beta? It has a pretty cool feature which enables changing the "persona" by adding header images, and there are thousands to choose from.

Perhaps this feature was available with earlier FF versions and I just never knew.

I'm enjoying the simplicity of Google Chrome.

I haven't tried Chrome; and, in keeping to my cranky policy of staying away from Google products, probably won't.

I started with Netscape and have stuck with Mozilla since, both for browsing and email.

Just downloaded FF 3.6. Persona is new.

You can get your hands on 3.7a1, but I'm too chicken to give it a go this early. They put out nightly builds (http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/)

3.7 is expected to be out next year between May/June (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Firefox#Version_3.6)

You currently have to get invited to try Google Voice, but it looks interesting. You can pick a number from lots of US cities and national calls, including Alaska, Hawaii and Canada are free.

" Welcome to Google Voice! Google Voice gives you a single phone number that rings all your phones, saves your voicemail online, and transcribes your voicemail to text. Other cool features include the ability to listen in on messages while they are being left and the ability to make low cost international calls. To start enjoying Google Voice, just give out your Google Voice number. You can record custom greetings for your favorite callers or block annoying callers by marking them as SPAM. Just click on the settings link at the top of your inbox. We hope you enjoy Google Voice."

I also love FF. My cable company online payment site is the only web site I visit which won't work with FF, so I use Netscape 7.2. The only time I use IE is to be sure my blog is rendering properly for IE users.

I use Firefox 3.6 and have added the Babblefish plugin. When I come upon spanish words I don't know I right-click while holding down the Alt and at the bottom of the screen is the translation. Very, very nice.

I'll have to give the BabelFish add-on a try.

I don't have an "add on", just a bookmark. I love babblefish. I just cut and paste into babblefish and instant have the translation... or a reasonable facsimile. I'm not switching to firefox, so wonder if there is an add on or tool bar for Explorer.
