mozilla.org Releases Mozilla 0.9.8

New to this release are improved Address Book functionality, page setup(for printing), MNG/JNG support, native-style widgets on winXP and OS X, dynamic theme switching, improved BiDi support, speed, stability and footprint improvements, and much, much more. www.mozilla.org and www.mozillazine.org have the full scoop." The build I'm posting with (2002020305) is a little crashy, but most aspects are shaping up very nicely.

    I hope that Mozilla 1.0 will have native widget support for Windows 2005.

    Just kidding. Good job, guys!

    Posting this with IE 6.0. No crashes here, looks nice...

  3. Mozilla is OK. Opera is great! by spike+hay · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Face it: Mozilla is an ok kind of buggy web browser.

    Opera is freakin great! It is faster, more stable, and blocks popup ads. Also, for those that run Windows, unlike IE or Netscape, it does not support spyware and adware. It tests, it beats all other browsers in speed and stability. You can also get great skins with it! (^:
    Opera is available for Linux/Solaris, BeOS, Symbian, Mac, QNX, and of course Windoze. Download it here

    Why did you capitalize and add the (TM) to Real Work(TM). I've also seen that kind of thing done to Good Thing(TM) and Bad Thing(TM). What do the caps and (TM) mean???
    The Jargon File to the rescue :). In a nutshell, items that are capitalized have a connotation as being emphasized and self-evident. For instance, with Real Work, the author is trying to convey that he's talking about real work and nothing short of it.

    From the sounds of it, Opera 6.0 TP3 is a much more stable browser than Moz 0.9.8. It's also *much* faster. Jason
