Mozilla 1.1 Hits The Street

asa writes: "Mozilla 1.1 has arrived!. This release has many new features including full-screen mode for Linux, Mac MathML support, a redesigned JavaScript Debugger, new window icons for the different Mozilla applications, view selection source, display HTML mail as plaintext, and much more. Along with all the new features, Mozilla 1.1 also contains many improvements to performance, stability, standards support, and web site compatibility. You can get Mozilla 1.1 by visiting the mozilla.org releases page or directly from ftp at ftp.mozilla.org. Now that 1.1 is out the door, the focus moves to 1.2 alpha, and beyond. If you're confused as to how all of these releases relate to each other, be sure to check out the Mozilla Roadmap and the community hub over at mozillaZine.org."

    Actually, judging from the number of gaping security holes, IE is the ultimate goatse browser.

    Opera isn't open source at all.

    Actually, it is... they coded it in machine language. That's why it's so fucking fast.

  4. That's cool... by netsharc · · Score: 2, Funny

    it took them forever to reach 1.0 (although the 0.9 releases were already really good), but now they're releasing a 1.1 after only a short time, and also working on a 1.2 Yeay Mozilla!

    If not "Release early", "Release often!" :)

  6. But Mozilla still has some weaknesses by norculf · · Score: 5, Funny

    1.1 is still a very immature version, compared to the Internet Explorer family of technologies, which is currently in version 6.x and still being improved daily.

    When will Mozilla feature speedier web browsing, and better integration with best-of-breed Microsoft products such as MSN messenger and Outlook XP?

    A theme that more closely matches the award winning Windows look-and-feel would also be helpful.

      You can simulate the MS experience (this is a platform-independent tip, BTW) by closing down your browser half way through an important task. I recommend halfway through online banking (works for me). Also, try altering your firewall to allow some moderate security breaches. You'll soon feel right at home.

    Nice, but Mac users, don't bother - Omniweb is still twice as fast, a quarter the size, and can render text so that it doesn't look like you're viewing the screen through a coke bottle.

    If you want gestures, go play Black and White. Saying that it's more fun than Mozilla is perhaps not quite accurate but it's not much bigger.
