Wow. I started a thread that had every quality of a 'Aaargh-Flame!' thread - but people actually seem to be the same opinion (more or less) that Mozilla has come a long way and is now actually 'good'.

Hell, what if MS does a great job with IE 6 for Mac OS X? What if Mozilla gets better every day (as it has done in the past few...)? What if OmniWeb 5 will rock the town? Is this going to be a wonderful world or not?

Guess yes.

you can run, but you can't hide

just one serious thought - discussing the technical merits and limitations of mozilla or any other product doesn't really upset me. this thread was started with a sensible direction and has stayed on the point. none of the "go here and get this because i say so" kind of attitude that gets my blood pressure raised. I will never argue with your right to choose any product. only with your rationale for doing so. and we've been there and done that.

Step away from the iCab koolaid, let your guard down, and submit yourself to the Mozilla. He's just waiting for you to click on him....

I've just been to the chimera dev page, and I must say that the project is one I've been waiting for for a long time. I still hope that the guys from OmniGroup will take care of giving mozilla a Cocoa interface, though. They can do interface a bit better, it seems.

The chimera interface is quite nice, and its not even done yet. Did you look on the screenshots page? They say that they are going to do more to it as well.
