…and not “Chad” as in “a person”…but “Chad” as in “the country…
Firefox 3.0 was released mid-afternoon yesterday and the Mozilla Foundation is going for the Guinness World Record for most software downloaded in a single day (thus, it ends at 1:16 pm today). You can follow the downloads at Spreadfirefox.com.
I’ve been using the Beta and Release Candidate versions for over a month now and absolutely love it. I’d kinda like the new default theme for Vista and XP to be transferred over to Linux, but that’s a small gripe. Otherwise, it seems faster, is a smaller download (7 MB!), and is a bit less RAM intensive than previous versions.
So yeah, if you check this out before 1:16 pm today, go download it and help out! Or if you check this tomorrow, download it anyway! As of right now, they’re sitting at 6.7 million downloads!
(oh yeah…and the title reference…in the global map on the Spreadfirefox page, you can see how much each country has downloaded…and Chad has downloaded 1 copy…)
Edit: The final tally was over 8 million downloads…they were apparently shooting for 5 million… And Chad ended up with 6 downloads, in the end… 😛
