Mozilla 0.9.3 Released

Now is the time to try Mozilla again if you've been waiting for stability to improve." Translation: Mozilla is better than ever. Get your copy here."

    "more stable than Netscape"? It's almost the year 2002, and that's the best Mozilla has done so far?

    Honestly, I have no idea why the editors on Slashdot pay so much attention to Mozilla and every release that they ever make. As far as I'm concerned, Mozilla is exactly not what you want to bring attention to on an Open Source advocacy site, as it is one of the most unstable, bloated, slow pieces of donkey turd that have ever bothered to show their ugly face in the community. I swear to God, I should not have to have a machine better than a K6/2 400 to render pages in a decent amount of time. Also, there are tons of bugs in everything from not even rendering jpgs and gifs sometimes to crashing every time you move your mouse

    Please don't cover Mozilla anymore, they're horrible. At least pay attention to a decent web browser, like Opera or Konquerer

    I tracked OSes on a website I ran for a while, and, ignoring the webbots (who appeared as "unknown OS") Windows 2000 was the most popular OS, followed by Windows 98, then Windows NT.

    So, no, I would say that it's safe to say that if you don't use Windows, you can fuck off.

    (PS: If you OSS browser jackasses want to get support, calling your OS "X11" isn't going to work - about 0% (something like five Konq hits) of all hits were from the fabulous X11 Operating System.)

    As a fellow web developer I TOTALLY AGREE. I ONLY design for IE--simply because when i am on a budget I can't take the time to write 3 FRIKKIN VERSIONS OF MY SCRIPTS... not to mention the HORRID css support in netscape--mozilla is SLIGHTLY better, but it still has a LONG LONG way to go before I am happy with its CSS rendering capabilites. For the time being anyone that doesn't use IE is screwed... lol. They need to make a STABLE version of IE for *NIX... if they did that and made dreamweaver for linux I wouldn't have to dual boot anymore.

    Or are they never going to get to the Mozilla 1.0 stage? I know version numbers really don't matter in the grand scheme of things since they are pretty arbitrary in any meaning aside from "This version came after this previous one." However, I'm fully expecting to see Mozilla 0.9.9.9.9.9.9.999.9.9.5 one of these days.
