This is not another performance comparison of Google Chrome & Mozilla Firefox.

While looking at this post on my own blog, I just couldn’t help noticing the Google Adsense ads that were being displayed there.

On top of the post, there was the Google Chrome ad. Not surprisingly, Google is targeting web pages which have the word Firefox in them.

And below of the post, there was the ad thanking me for using Firefox and asking me to upgrade to Firefox 3.5. Talk about upgrading, I am already using 3.6 ! When Chrome is using so much publicity to improve its market share, I think Mozilla can do with updating its ads.

The latest Firefox 3.7 nightlies now have the first bits of  the Firefox Windows theme refresh that was discussed in detail here.

On Windows 7 particularly Firefox looks great now. Firefox now comes with:

• Support for tab previews in the Win 7 Superbar
• Aero Glass in the toolbar without any extension.
• The Stop and Reload buttons have been merged now.

Here are some screenshots from my Windows 7 machine.

Though there still seem to be issues with the Aero Glass feature (some rendering issues on the page portion just below the tab bar), it looks great. Expect the look to get more refined once the nightlies progress.

Project Natal looks to be much more than what the Wii does.

This thing looks seriously good. Check it out!
