    I like it.

    In case you haven’t been offered a copy, read this review by Emil Protalinski at VentureBeat, then if you’re up for a bit of early-adopter-risk, download it here.

    I have, I did, and I’m using it now. Cool stuff!

    I’ve seen complaints about the wide scrollbars in the new Firefox, and I beg to disagree. Here’s a shot of a narrowed-down screen:

    Truth be told, I prefer the wider scrollbars. They’re easier to grab than Chrome’s. And I fervently dislike the disappearing pencil-thin scrollbars in Edge.

    But that’s just cosmetics. The new Firefox is fast, smooth, and (so far at least) solid. Give it a try and let me know what you think.
