I’ve spent a few weeks using Minefield rather than Firefox 3 and I think I noticed the difference but I like being on the bleeding edge and I don’t know if Minefield is being updated as quickly as Firefox.
Minefield was the development codename for Firefox 3 and Neil Bruce Lee is producing custom compilations for some Apple computers under the Minefield moniker.
Anyway, Minefield seems a little snappier, but I don’t know if I’m actually seeing something that isn’t there. I’ve certainly had a better experience with flash video in the browser than Flock’s high cpu loading and hot laptop, but I’m going to spend some time in ‘Firefox proper’ and see if I notice a slowdown, or even an increase in battery consumption, though I doubt it.
