    Just six more releases until they'll be forced to call it 1.0! Wait... I wonder if they can do 0.9.8.1, 0.9.8.2, etc. and delay it a couple of more years.

    Bad thought there. Eep.

    Oh well, thanks anyway to the Mozilla team for their hard work, especially for the work they've done this week after the tragedies in our country. I know that most people's productivity levels are null, lately.

    Wow, what a great release! I think that 0.9.3 really is a key step in the right direction for 1.0.

    Has someone been cutting and pasting out of their "Slashdot comments" file? ;-)

    The mozilla folks really ought to put up MD5s with the release.

    Why? If they can tamper with the releases, they can tamper with the MD5s.

    Anyway, the standard disclaimer we put on all releases applies: "If it doesn't melt your hard drive and send your tax evasion plans to the IRS, consider yourself lucky."

    Netscape 4.7 is older, WEAKER, of course its going to be faster.

    Think about it.. the most powerful browser cannot be the fastest browser.

  6. good work by Ender+Ryan · · Score: 3, Funny

    I have to say I'm am extremely impressed with the latest releases of mozilla, there has again been a very very nice speed jump.

    As a submitter of bugs, it's good to see them getting cleaned up, at this point it's better than many browsers that call themselves 3, 4, 5, 6, 7... whatever.

    Stability is getting really good, I haven't been able to crash the latest 0.9.3 nightlies or 0.9.4, even with java, javascript, and flash.

    Really excellent work, my thanks goes out to everyone who has helped with Mozilla.
