Mozilla Minefield Continues to Hit the Internet By Storm, Other Browsers Must Step Up Their Game

Reading time: 2 – 2 minutes

One of the fastest known internet browser to date is the Minefield, a “trunk build” developed by Mozilla which was now under test drive. As Mozilla.org puts it, and I quote,

“Warning: This is NOT A FINAL OR PRE-RELEASE VERSION. This program is provided without any guarantees of stability, so please use it at your own risk.”

about:minefieldGenerally, Mozilla does not guarantee that this nightly build is 100% stable. Mozilla warns users to back up their profile religiously as bugs might corrupt it at anytime.

Mozilla, however, remains very transparent to its users like most other open source software developers that strongly urge its users to report bugs, browser crashes, and openly solicit for feedback. They also included some tools to help Minefield testers get the most out of their testing experience and the ability to get involved with their Mozilla QA team through discussions clearly shows that they are really serious in developing this robust internet browser.

So far, ever since I’ve downloaded Mozilla Minefield and has been religiously using it in place of Mozilla Firefox, I have not reported any crash error or bug. The most amazing part of using this browser is its responsiveness in loading webpages fast enough compared to Google Chrome, Safari, Opera, Internet Explorer or even with its counterpart, Mozilla Firefox. Test drive this browser and see it for yourself.
