Firefox 4 Beta for Android is Now Faster and Sleeker

If you are sick and tired of the "stock" Android browser or just like trying new ones like me, Firefox has a new updated for their Android based browser. The changelog for this new update is impressive! Take a look for yourselves:

  • Reduced install size by 60% on Android
  • Page loads are now around 40% faster than in beta 1
  • Battery usage has been reduced
  • Reduced memory footprint
  • The native Android sharing system is now used when you share a link
  • You can now undo closing a tab
  • Faster and more accurate multitouch zoom
  • Geolocation now works on Android

Although the app is still in beta, this is a pretty tremendous improvement and I say we should be seeing it in the market real soon.

See for yourselves, download Firefox 4 Beta here.
