Default Internet Explorer 8 (beta) vs Firefox 3.x(beta)

Most of us provably know that Microsoft has released its next Internet Explorer version 8 as beta on 5th March, 2008. They have tried to clean their bad reputation not maintaining w3c standards. MS is happy that IE8 has passed ACID2 ... and targeting web developers and webmasters.

However, Firefox released its version 3 beta for 5 times already and expecting it's final release June, 2008.

I've beening using both browsers and I'm really happy with FF3 though it's crashs very often. I'll be interested to know about your experiences with these two browsers.

FF wins hands down for me but I had to put ie 8 as used in beta mode for me as I need to know what my sites and client sites look like in other browsers and due to ms bad track record needed to see what it looked like in their new one.

FF 2 rocks and will look forward to using 3 when it comes out!

Having both FF2 and the FF3 beta running on my PC via dual login, i noticed that the FF3 beta, when viewing/browsing some website it doesn't really viewed properly whereas, the FF2 still work fine for the same website. I think it could be due to some coding need to enhanced or mod.

FF2 is still the best choice for me at the moment, while waiting for the ff3 to be really released and not beta version.

Thanks
David Cheong

I haven't had a chance to try IE 8, but don't think I will as I am perfectly satisfied with Fire Fox 2.0.0.14

IE8 sorta sucks... Especially since the beta version loads things on all my sites really weird. I hope they are still tweaking that system. I would hate to have to fix all my sites just for IE8.
