Mozilla Project Hurt by Apple's Decision to use KH

Posted by Hemos on from the the-battle-rages-on dept.

Anonymous Coward writes "I Read this article from ZDNet claiming how some of the Mozilla developers were hurt by Apple's decision to use KHTML over Gecko. I can see both their points. Mozilla was made for cross-platform compatibility, and this probably adds to the bloat, however that's not what they were looking for. They wanted small and fast."

    Is the weather nice in your universe? It's a bit chilly over here.

    Apple bout NeXT.
    MacOS9 might have not used the most cutting-edge multitasking, but it certainly kicked PeeCee OSes for quite some time. And Apple uses 'slower' processors in their boxen.

    Cutting edge does not imply 'best'. OS9 is far more stable than any Windoze OS.
