Mozilla 1.8 Alpha Released

AllMightyPaul writes "Last Friday, the Mozilla Organization announced Mozilla 1.8a. You can download Mozilla 1.8 alpha (with torrents available) from the Mozilla public FTP server. Features include a basic upload FTP UI, improved junk mail filtering, and the number of cookies that Mozilla can hold has also increased 'dramatically.' What's amazing is that they haven't even released Mozilla 1.7 yet. Here I thought that Mozilla was going to standardize on 1.7."

You know, starting FireFox and Thunderbird takes longer in total than starting Mozilla.

Next time I want to start my browser and email at the exact same time, I'll be sure to remember that.

And together they use more memory than Mozilla does, or at least no less memory.

Together, they giggle and laugh when you make up statistics about them.

I think people like to say Mozilla is "bloatware" because it's the trendy thing to do, but I don't think it deserves the title.

No. People call it "bloatware" because it crams/crammed the functionality of half a dozen applications into one. Now I don't notice any difference between the speed of Mozilla's interface or any other Windows Program.

I don't blame you! It must be difficult to notice things while you're engaged in sweaty relations with a wooly, herbivorous quadruped.

Hmm, yes, yet more bloat

I do not need one tool that does: web browsing, email, usenet, html editing and, now, ftp upload.

You are so damned right.

That's why I stick to something nice and lean like emacs ...
