Don't Hit That Back Button

... but the damn lameness filter got me. I can't even whore for karma - i'm too lame. gutted.
When was the last time you used Mozilla? 0.9.8 kills IE in terms of speed. MS has to be drooling over Gecko. ;-)
But it's been crashing left and right on my Win box. Enough that I'm probably going to switch to Mozilla as my default browser once 1.0 comes out.
Java is insecure
No, JavaScript implementations can be insecure, or VBScript can be insecure, but Java is very, very secure.*
Methinks you are confusing JavaScript with Java. They're only related tangentially at best.
* This being /. this point is, of course, infinitely debatable.
In my experience Mozilla seemed faster than Opera..
blah blah blah....

That is, if you're still alive...
Mozilla is just as fast as Opera on my box and besides, Opera isn't powerfull enough.
We're going to make information free Mr. Anderson, whether you like it, or not.
Well, unless he get's hit by a bus in the next month or so, he's probably safe... (Seeing as how 1.0 has been branched, and looks like its nearly release time )
in my imagination Mosaic is way faster than Concorde too
That was classic intercourse!
