It’s all set and ready!

It’s official now!

As Tristan quotes Chris:

(…) Firefox 1.5, the next major version of the open source browser, will be released on 29 November.

A next very good day for the browsing market is tuesday!

And yes, Firefox 2 is in development now – places anyone? As Chris said

Yes. Bookmarking is ready to be deprecated.

. Flock already has it! And there is much more to change, that we’re doing now, and Firefox will do in a few years timeframe, not sure about Opera, but I think that they HAVE to follow this earlier or later).

>Yes. Bookmarking is ready to be deprecated.

Although I like del.ico.us, I would never drop my personal bookmarks. I don’t see point of “public bookmarks only” idea.
Public bookmarks are totaly useless if used to bookmark intranet sites. And I suppose that business would not approve it, companies would rather not share their employees bookmarks – especially if they are publically available (although not available in search engines etc.) company strategy or anything that could interest competitors 😉

If FF 2.0 will keep private bookmarks, you shouldn’t talk “bookmarks are deprecated”. Most people understand this like “bookmarks are removed” and such revolution is not the best idea. Just let them choose what they like…

Personally I don’t like this idea and I want to keep my old bookmarks intact. In case removing bookmarks from FF, I’ll be forced to remove FF from my PC.

Well, when I’m saying that “Netscape 4 is deprecated” I don’t mean that tere won’t be any browser. I just mean that there is high time to move to something better, right?

It’s hard for me to find anything in my own bookmarks, so I can’t event imagine how I will work with del.ico.us
Tell me please, how is it possible that more bookmars in unknown order is better than less bookmarks in my own order?!

Better? It sounds like MS language… 🙁
Firefox was created on excellent idea – let me choose. I like this idea because I’ve got my own browser with my own extensions, my own searchplugins and my own settings. My Firefox is my browser and it has part of me inside.
When you say “bookmarks are old-fashioned” or “Flock’s way is better”, your words can be understood as “you are old-fashioned” or “your way is worse”. Remember, that many users have great affection to their browsers…

Pablo: did you try Flock? (yes, it’s in testing stage, private favorites will be there, soon ;))

Mikolaj: Nah, you just had no choice, because every browser was served with almost exactly the same Bookmark UI. From Netscape 2.0 to Firefox 1.5 and Opera 8.5.

gandalf: no, I’m to lazy to explore (what an ugly word) something new. Till now, my PortableFirefox has broken again (DO NOT buy cheap pendrive!) so now I will test Flock.

Gandalf, I’m talking about language. You’re introducing sth new, but:
– new things don’t have to be better;
– Firefox is used by millions of users who never heard about del.icio.us and their way of handling bookmarks;

You’re right, I (and other users) had no choice, GUI was almost identical. But old way not always is bad way…
