here we go again

if you are not familiar with mozilla and it's connection to netrape/aol,
please go here and read this first before you download mozilla

and once you have read the arguments for and agianst it, then make up your own mind. but do not mindlessly follow somebodies suggestion to use mozilla without being aware of the potential consequences

Ed, please don't take this the wrong way, really... please.

But maybe Mozilla isn't as bad as you think... It at least adds some competition to another otherwise dead marketplace.

We live in a world driven by Biz-Dev MBA holding people who work with marketers and developers to create products that are proftiable! Without research like this their profits are cut... it is only a wise business decision for them to set it up to send crash reports and usage data to the developers.

I do see your point of view, but I am not so sure that you are being realistic in this matter.

I don't know... I am a Mac user and evangelist and generally have a distaste for anything from M$ and AOhell... but jeez.... you can't expect them not to do this type of thing.

rinse, you are basically right. but i can choose not to partcipate in it. and i think anyone who does should know what they are doing before they do. that's my only real concern. i believe in freedom of choice. i don't believe in uninformed actions and mindlessly following the leader who says - wow cool, mozilla rocks!!

My god! I just downloaded and tried the latest (nightly) mach-o release of Mozilla, and its speed is amazing! I heard it was fast, but I had no idea it's THIS fast! Pages appear almost instantly... Amazing effort. When it's finished it would no doubt kick IE and Carbon NN/Mozilla's butts!

Can't wait for it to be finished!!!

Currently, the Mach-O mozilla is fast, but it is lacking some of the below features -
SSL support
Java support
Some bugs still hang around making is somewhat unstable.

The CFM build is almost complete, it is a little bit slower (I've check the latest CFM build and it had been quite optimized, it is a lot more speedier than the previous CFM build), it supports SSL and if you can find the MRJPlugin, it supports Java.

The Mach-o build is the future, but currently, both are usable.

Hope that by the time Mozilla reaches 1.0, the Mach-o build will be the default build of Mac OS X and it has all the features needed.

I can say that in the current version of Mozilla, it is definitely better than OmniWeb or iCab or Opera. It is a lot faster, more standard compliance (both HTML and scripting) and now it is good looking too!!

Can someone post a link for the download?

The version I downloaded does not have the "aqua" interface.

This is a CFM Build with SSL support.
