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."

    Gecko is small and fast - just mozilla is a bit bloated.

    This is what competition is all about. Sometimes the competitor wins. This sort of thing makes products better in the end.

    That's funny. I must have compiled a Windows version of Phoenix on my Slackware box. Man, I'm one 1337 coder.
