Phoenix 0.3 Is Out

Posted by timothy on from the no-no-phoenix-0.3-is-in dept.

David Tansey writes "The Mozilla-based stripped down browser has now reached binary release 0.3. They are ripping out all the mail and news functions, composer functions, and IRC functions. The point is to work against the 'monolitic' mozilla trunk and make a browser, not a suite. I've noticed that it now uses considerably less memory than Mozilla uses and loads faster. Check it out here."

    Well this is my first time using it.. I just downloaded the win32 binary and it seems ok.. they weren't kidding when they said its just a browser.. seems spiffy enuff to... just wish microsoft would let others use the API to display files and folders.. oh wait.. a different file browser would nearly defeat them in their eyes :)

    To the next Harry Potter book (out Real Soon Now). Just think of the hordes of moppets suddenly eager to throw over their AOL browsers for Open Source.
