Phoenix 0.5 Has Arrived

Posted by timothy on from the halfway-there dept.

mattrix was among the legion of readers to submit news that "Phoenix 0.5 (Naples) has been released. New stuff since 0.4 includes multiple homepages, download fixes, history, size, memory, accessibility and performance improvements and more. Get it now for Windows or GNU/Linux (i686). Background info: Phoenix is a web browser based on the Mozilla engine, but smaller and faster than Mozilla Navigator." Multi-tab startup page seems worth the upgrade to me, all else aside.

  1. Re:But wait for Konqueror 3.1. by Per+Wigren · · Score: 1, Troll

    Yes, Konqueror/khtml is great, but even 3.1 is too strict to be really usable.. It works great on 90% of the pages, but there are too many pages out there that use buggy html/javascript that Konqueror is unable to render.. And when making bugreports the answer is usually "tell the page-author to fix his html".. Yes, I fully agree that authors should not make buggy html or javascripts, but as long as the pages work in IE they usually won't bother fixing it.. And it still doesn't change the fact that Konqueror doesn't display a lot of the pages "correctly".. However, Gecko renders 99% of the pages correctly, making it much more usable...

    Damn...If I were using OS/2 I would feel lucky just to have a modern broweser at all.
