Ars Technica Reviews Mozilla

Posted by michael on from the lizard-power dept.

Aglassis writes "This Ars Technica review gives mozilla 1.0 an overall score of 7/10 (9 for Gecko and 6 for the browser). The major detractor was the user interface, since it didn't feel like a Windows application. This was probably due to a poor understanding by the authors of XUL. Overall they say that mozilla would make a good substitute for IE 6 but there is no major reason to switch over."

    Well, can I be the first to say, "Thank God"?
    I mean, isn't this a Good Thing (TM), at least according to Thomas Krul's theory?

  2. Frontpage is the difference... by MosesJones · · Score: 3, Funny

    Promoting Frontpage as an advantage is similar to saying that Volkswagen would never sell in East Germany because they have the Trabant.

    Frontpage is to web design what chocolate is to teapots.

    Problems ? There are no problems with IE. Besides the fact you must not press the CTRL-key and you must not click the back-button. But hey - who needs navigation anyway ?

    I've also noticed the browser go dead (after clicking a link, it stays on the page, as though it's loading, but never loads a new page until it's closed and then re-started

    That is my main gripe. Plus no tabbed browsing. Plus that Russian guy showing us how many odd security holes there are in IE.
