Did they fix the Mozilla 1.0's Remote DoS? OSS projects are intentionally written buggy, just to keep developers busy.

Fuck crapzilla!

Before you moderate this as flamebait, ACTUALLY READ THIS.

I first tried mozilla 0.6 at christmas 2000 and it was slow buggy shit! Back then I was a windows 98 user which used IE 5.5. Fortunateley Opera 5 came out and it was much better than both of them.

In fact it wasn't until about 0.9.3 before they produced anything decent, then they fucked it up!

Ive tried 1.0rc3 and its still shit! Why is it so fucking slow! Ive got a 450mhz processor which is still only about three years old but come on!

Now that I'm a linux user much better browsers now exist including Opera, Konqerour and IE6! Im sorry to say this, but mozilla really is a peice of CRAP! Its even crappier when used with GNOME (thats why I use KDE instead)

Konqueror is the best browser for linux FULL STOP! When 3.1 comes out mozilla will be extinct!

Now you can moderate this as troll or flamebait BUT THIS IS THE TRUTH! You wasted FOUR years on this crap and its total shit!

Mozilla deserves to die! I will not tolerate this shit when Opera and Konqueror are so much better!

why mozilla still sucks

Okay, I figured, "Hey, a 1.1a release. Maybe most of the kinks are out." So (once again, foolishly), I download, install, and voila! It still sucks. On Win2k. Even after nuking my previous installation and all mozilla-related settings.

• My mouse wheel doesn't work. (Yes, I fiddled with the settings.)
  
• 17.3 billion privacy and security settings and it still can't render my ISP's crappy webmail page properly.
  
• Dialogs that don't fit all of the controls within the window.
  
• Address import from Outlook that takes about 20 seconds and imports a grand total of *1* out of *250* names -- but doesn't even get the address associated with that *1* name!
  

I don't have the patience to play with this silly thing for another 20 minutes to find enough other bugs to round out this list. Needless to say, this isn't really the quality you'd expect from a 1.1-level release.

(Yes, I posted this with 1.1a. After hitting "submit", I will uninstall and go back to nice, reliable IE.)

nah the most important thing IMHO is

FOR FUCK'S SAKE I WANT ANTIALIASING IN MOZILLA!!! It's not that fucking hard!!!!!!!! Konqueror does it. every other fuckin app does it! I'm using Uncle Bill's fonts, why the fuck must it still be ugly?????

Why I Still Refuse To Use Mozilla Anymore.

/* Its June 11, 2002...And Mozilla STILL lacks anti-aliased font support. */

Yes, kids, i'm aware of the fact that umpteen zillion different AA hacks for Mozilla exist. But guess what--I dont want hacks. I want a friggin browser that looks like it was written in 2002, not 1995.

It just amazes me that so many people can put so much work into a project, and then NOT include something as fundemental as AA support. What gives? Is there a real-world reason why Mozilla doesn't offer it? Or rather, is it what we all suspect it is -- Mozilla is a browser built for programmers, not end-users, and Mozilla's programmers dont give a flying fuck how their work looks at the end of the day...their only care is just that it works......sort of.

Meanwhile, i'm enjoying Konqueror. Stable, fast, and has included anti-aliased font support since day one. So whats the problem, Mozilla?

Cheers,
