First Reviews of Mozilla 1.0 Roll In

Posted by timothy on from the jaundiced-eye-of-the-beholder dept.

Since the announcement of Mozilla 1.0's release, at least a few journalists have been quick to turn the beast over and poke its belly. Tina Gasperson's review over at NewsForge makes an interesting contrast to CNET's review; strange how they give a rating that would barely merit a "C-" after describing Mozilla's robustness, standards compliance, speed and convenience features.

    There seems to be a glitch with unordered HTML lists where the bullet on the first item appears a line above the first item. Been there all along, but I had kind of hoped it would be fixed by now.

  2. I think it's great. by gambit3 · · Score: 2, Redundant

    First open source stuff I've used. I'm running it at home on XP and at work on NT4. Absolutely LOVE the tabs.

    I think I finally found what will replace my beloved Netscape 4.7 as my browser of choice.

    If you read the CNET review, you would see that in their performance tests [cnet.com], IE6 was faster than Mozilla in the three HTML tests. In the Java test, Mozilla was faster.


    Wrong. You got it backwards.


    From the article: Longer bars indicate better performance, with the fastest browser scoring 100.

    Short bars bad. Long bars good.
