    And if your reading a page with links you dont want to click, lets say to a picture of a man stretching his balloon knot open, then they'll be cached for you and swallow up more and more system resources. nice!

    The next time I read someone in all seriousness using the term "blazingly fast" the baby seal gets it.

    Chimera's great, I use it, but it has zero speed advantage over OmniWeb. Nil. Goosegg. And in my opinion, OmniWeb looks better.

    Perhaps that's good, although I'd like to see an option where you can choose to apply the feature to all links leading to HTML pages.

    What would be great is if it could recognise if a page is of thumbnail images, and then automatically download the linked images. It would make browsing porn much quicker.

    Cool, this could lead to preslashdoting.

    Moz has gone beyond 1-1 user ratio. I have several versions of Mozilla installed.. it's about 1-3 user:browser ratio :)

    I still cherish the days with modem when I could see the goatse.cx pic load before my eyes and go away before it was done, now with DSL it's instant, and you think this is good?!

    The war Bugzilla vs Slashdot sadly had this unfortunate outcome. We will have to live with it. But I'm sure you'll find a way to circumvent the problem. But then again, you're circumventing Bugzilla's access protection and you'll surely be a DMCA case.

    The funniest part is that I am a homosexual Macintosh user.

    I don't know why.

    First thing I noticed was that I really liked men. Then I noticed that I really liked Macintoshes.
