    Ooh Wow, the lastest version of a buggy, slow, bloated browser! I can't wait to downgrade my system again!

    Ooh Wow, another Microsoft indentured servant!

    It's obvious you haven't used Mozilla recently (like, the last three releases). Fantastic standards-compliant browser with excellent USER-FRIENDLY - as opposed to ADVERTISER-FRIENDLY - customization and privacy options.

    And on my system, using Mozilla's quick start option, it loads FASTER than IE.

    I'd love to chat, but I'm gonna rush off to get the new release!

    I'm sure they hardly care about FreeBSD users, who make up such a small minority that compiling anything for them is wasting time / resources.

    It's like offering a compiled version for Microsoft Bob users - no one will download it, and if they did, they'd just be laughed at.

    Get a real OS, then you can be entitled to bitch about lack of binaries for your backwater, unsecure, amateur operating system that'll never be anything more than a train wreck of code that lifeless hobbyists twiddle with.

    Peace.

    Um, that's my text. I'm the co-author of the release notes and the originator of the what's new section. I would think that I'm allowed to post that here and save a bit of load on our releases page (not to mention the added convenience for /. readers).

    Moz-team, but please, hire Jakob Nielsen before 1.0 ships.

    So they can waste a lot of money on someone who can't even design their own page? I've seen at least 3 or 4 usability tests of useit.com and all of them said that it was the most difficult and hard to understand site of all the ones they used. Most of them stopped at 'I don't understand what this site is about.'
