i know that many people are quite tired of the whole browser war issue starting again, but i just had to post. ive been increasingly impressed with the quality of the nightly mozilla builds and decreasingly impressed with the development of chimera.

i just got the latest nightly and it is ridiculously fast. not only that but i have yet to run into any problems as far as java/quicktime/etc go. the lack of aqua widgets pains me a little, but its a price im willing to pay. by the way i use the orbit skin from http://themes.mozdev.org

i think its time that the chimera developers pull forward to the new mozilla trunk, because it is leaps and bounds better than the 1.0rc2 code.

edit: also i am using silk to keep smooth spacing as well.

edit2: nevermind, mozilla also has fixed the spacing issues with font smoothing. wow they have come a long way.
 
I think .3 of Chimera is pretty good and they said that they would probably only release .4, .5 etc. so theres a larger gap in between..however, I have found the latest nightly's after .3 to be pretty stuffed up although there are improvements in some areas...I'll give Mozilla another go :)
 
ya i am overall happy with the progress of chimera nightlies as far as features and fixes goes, but i really think that they have taken the rc1 code as far as it can go. its time to pull back to the mozilla trunk again.
 
Thanks for the link to the "Orbit" theme, it rockz!
Before I was using "Navzilla" and I thought that was great, but this is even better. :D
 
The latest release is Mozilla 1.0. Get it from mozilla.org.

1.1 final should improve things a lot for us OS X users. The alphas have anti-aliasing enabled and scroll great under OS X. Very nice.

I noticed you said *a* osx skin. Does that mean there is more than one???? I only know of Pinstripe.

THAT is the info I was looking for... When the 1.1 comes out of alpha and beta releases, I will look at it. I have had too many issues with alpha and beta software releases to use them any longer. I am also very careful about full release software that I install on my Mac. Since Sharity f*cked up my airport connection that is.

I said NON-alpha or beta release... 1.1a is an alpha release. :rolleyes:

Oooops! Sorry, but this alpha release as I said is VERY good and stable, I'd give it a go, I doubt you'd be dissapointed.
 
all mozilla is basically alpha. they just arbitrarily put a version name on builds based on deadlines. there really is no difference between mozilla 1.0 and .9.9+ builds except a few weeks of bug fixes. thats just the way mozilla works.

Navzilla is also pretty nice.
