Nicely done sir.

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.

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 )
