I just stumbled across it at mozilla.org, downloaded it and installed it, thought I wonder why Slashdot didn't have an article about this, thought probably b/c of all the compaints last time (news for nerds? stuff that matters?), and then came here to test the new Mozilla. The first article was, of course...

Galeon

[DaCool42]

I've been using galeon here mainly (it's using gecko as well), and I've found it to be quite good. The interface is much lighter than mozilla's, and it has a very good tab implementations. Give it a try if you haven't already.

Thank you.

Pornzilla 0.9.1 also released today

[aufbau]

Pornzilla's goal is to turn Mozilla into a great porn browser. I started the project because I felt some important bugs were being neglected by Netscape engineers, even though they do a very good job with other bugs. (Are they not allowed to look at porn while at work?).

The web site includes several modifications to Mozilla that make it better suited for porn browsing and a list of bugs and feature requests related to porn surfing. If you have any other bug numbers or ideas for modifications, please tell me.

(Sorry for the duplicate message. I guess using "preview" before posting isn't a good idea when you've temporarily disabled cookies.)

Re:Face it, Mozilla is dead

[Ilgaz]

I am "honoured" to reply a so-called "flamebait,-1" opensource style cencored article saying "I can put my signature below it".

Slashdot shouldn't allow mozilla fanatics to moderate on a mozilla article.

Whats next people? Trace critizers houses and burn them?

Speaking as someone who masturbates frequently enough to have obtained an honorary doctorate in it, I'd like to mention why IE is the superior porn browser. Are you running Windows 2000? Okay, good. Open an Explorer window, go to the View menu, and select Thumbnails. Now, thumbnails will be dynamically generated for all images in your currently-viewed directory. I have a lot of porn saved on my disks -- over 1.5GB -- so even with my excellent directory structure (categorized by race, number of participants, and insertion types), it can take a while to locate that perfect images to bring yourself to orgasm with. Explorer/IE's "thumbnail" feature has revoltionized my masturbation experience, by allowing me to quickly analyze and navigate picture series -- with one hand. Explorer/IE will even show you the first frame of AVIs and MPEGs on the sidebar with the "preview" function!

Now you can visually scan directories -- for that perfect Akira Fubuki cumshot, Anna Nicole Smith softcore clip, or nasty nekkid ebony hoe playing with vegetables -- simply by using the arrow keys, Return, and Backspace.

In order to enjoy a comparable masturbation experience with Linux, you must use a combination of Electric Eyes (for thumbnail browsing) and Netscape (for image viewing). Oftentimes, you will even have to use both hands to get the process started -- very inconvenient. Add in the fact that UNIX-like systems don't function very well with widespread use of spaces in directory names, and you have all the makings of an extremely poor monkey spanking.

Hey, let's get a MacOS user in on this. TRoLLaXoR, does MacOS provide easy thumbnail image navigation like Windows?

Wow!.. No sh*t man?!..

[Abnornymous Howard]

What did they do?
Did they deface it?
Did they put a link to some page with naked chix on it?
Errr... Never mind...

Re:Use the turbo feature and shut up!

[frleong]

Really? What exactly Mozilla/Netscape has that makes it so dog slow that it requires a turbo mode, when IE and Opera don't need at all? A browser is a browser! Skin? But WinAMP is also pretty fast with skind. Just tell me the "features" that warrant me to run that turbo mode.

Mozilla 0.9.3 with hotmail

[totierne]

It looks like one has to jimmy the useragent field to get Mozilla 0.9.3 working with hotmail. Being lazy I switch back to Netscape 4.7 . Is this a microsoft plot or is my paranoia misplaced..

Re:Export

[Tyreth]

This kind of comment just annoys me, because it reminds me of the misplaced confidence America seems to have in winning this war. Taliban losing controlled areas - think about it for just a minute. If you were the Taliban and Osama Bin Laden, what would you do? Would you try and hold the cities? Or would you retreat to your extensive cave network, and let America/Northern Alliance feed the cities during the winter? It's an excellent strategy for the Taliban to deliberately lose control of all of Afghanistan, because like Vietnam, their advantage is in remaining small and hidden. America is not pure, and it's hands are much more stained than Osama Bin Laden's.

Hey, that's actually quite a good idea!

OT: Taliban Retreat

[rpk]

The problem with the Taliban's "head for the hills" strategy (if indeed it is a strategy) is that they have no support from the population and they will be not supplied anybody from inside or outside the country. The big difference between now and the Soviet occupation is that the CIA and Pakistan were happy to supply the mujahedin with what they needed. Where are the Taliban's supplies going to come from ?
