 Mozilla 0.9.8 Gosh, I gotta say it: It rocks. I'm a big fan of OmniWeb and bought a license half a year ago, but I'm always looking at options. MSIE 5.1.3 was the way to go for many purposes, because OW hasn't really caught up so well. It will with version 5, I'm sure of that, because OmniGroup is well aware of its competition. OW still is the nicest browser around for OS X, but it still lacks some important stuff. But Mozilla... I've tried to use the nightly builds on a regular basis in the past (three months ago for about a month), but it was just too bumpy and slow. But I must really say: 0.9.8 is nice.

| it's nice but sucks up way too much processor time when hidden. top displays mozilla jumping between 0.4 and 88(!)%. a bit odd if you ask me.

| WOW... With 0.9.8 Carbon build, they seemed to have narrowed the gap in rendering times with the MachO Build. It still feels just a smidgen slower, but that still puts it faster than IE, iCab, and a little faster then OW. BUT - This build seems to be very stable, supports both Flash 5/6, Shockwave plugins, and has the widest Java/Javascript support in an OS X browser (right now)... Mozilla might just become my new default!

 I still can't get java to work... 1. Yes, it is turned on in the preferences. 2. Yes, I deleted the Mozilla folder from the Library folder in my user folder. Any suggestions? Also, I only go to a single site that uses Java. Can you guys post URLs to other sites that use Java? Thanks |

| Versiontracker... Go to versiontracker Select the Mac OS X tab Search for MRJ Carbon Follow the instructions for installation... Seems to work pretty well...
