Mozilla 1.7 Beta Is Faster And Smaller
ccady writes "Mozilla 1.7 beta is out. Not too many new features, but "Mozilla 1.7 size and performance have improved dramatically with this release. When compared to Mozilla 1.6, Mozilla 1.7 Beta is 7% faster at startup, is 8% faster at window open time, has 9% faster pageloading times, and is 5% smaller in binary size." I'll be downloading it."
Mozilla has a small marketshare, practically no one uses it, and finally Long Live IE!
No. In fact, they had to take out PNG support to get the speed increase.
it's still 20% slower than Firefox.
How many percent longer does it run between crashes?

When you're talking about Mozilla, removing features could very well be a good thing.

I followed the W3C's recommendations and used SVG and XForms, and now my site won't render in Mozilla? All the slashdotters said that Mozilla followed W3C specifications? Guess they were lying, so back to MSDN I go, where at least the documentation is correct.
When was the last time IE was updated????
Thankfully, it's been quite a while. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Normal people aren't into updating their software weekly. They want something mature that works. IE is mature. It works. End of story. Mozilla is filling a nonexistent hole.
> Does anybody know why they stopped putting Talkback into the OS X pre-release versions since 1.6 alpha
'cos OS X users don't bother reporting bugs - why bother when you can shell out 100 GBP/ 180 USD/ year, and have someone else fix them for you in the next OSX point release

Who gives a fuck? It's 7% faster than it was, and that was 200% slower than IE. Go suck an egg.
