Mozilla Tree Closes for 1.0

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the bring-it-on dept.

And I'm glad that on Unix we still have a browser war since Konqueror and Mozilla are both excellent browsers. Congratulations to every developer who committed a line of code, but mostly to you guys in the middle who had to wrangle the whole project.

    As a diehard IE user who made the switch from netscape to IE 3.x, I am quite shocked at how well Mozilla performs in the .99 version.

    I've kept tabs on the performance and functionality as various betas came out and was always extremely disheartened that it just wasn't there. I was beginning to think that one of the most visible efforts by a community to really create a useful application was going to fail.

    With .99 my view was changed completely. I don't use an integrated bookmark manager or email, but for browsing I find myself opening up Mozilla more and more during the day.

    Congratulations to everyone involved in the development and testing. This is quite a success and one that I hope garners a ton of attention!

    Sigh... 1.0 comes along and they still haven't fixed the view source bug. Yep, still can't view the source of a dynamic page. The bug is labeled as "Future".

    Is it me or does the ability to view the source of whatever your looking at seem to be something that even a 1.0 browser should do correctly?
