Mozilla.org today announced the release of Mozilla 1.0, the first major-version public release of the Mozilla browser application. The cross-platform software integrates a core set of applications that allow users to access the capabilities of the Web, including a web browser, an email reader and a chat client. Gecko, the core browser component in Mozilla 1.0, is freely available for inclusion in third party products as well as a cross-platform toolkit for developing Internet-based applications, including its XML-based user-interface development technology ("XUL"), its networking libraries, its ECMAScript (JavaScript) implementation, and its security and encryption libraries.

    Everyone get this...

    If you've been holding out on trying Mozilla...now's the time. It's better than Netscape 6, better than IE, better than Opera... well, ok, I haven't used Opera for a long, long time, but still...

    Congrats to the mozilla developers, esp. mozilla.org who have been working hard for four years on this.

    Now, go download it!

    Not better than IE or OW…

    Of course its better than Netscape 6, Netscape 6 uses old Mozilla code!

    This is the best Mozilla to date and the first one that is good for regular use, but of course it has its problems.

    It doesn;t work for most banks, no native widgets for scroll bars, buttons, etc. You have to go to ugly classic Netscape 3 buttons to get the Aqua look & it takes forever to start. I also hate that you have to get all the bundled jusk like Composer, IRC & Mail programs by Mozilla. :-(

    That being said, it is a VERY close 3rd to OmniWeb's latest beta & Internet Explorer. And with Microsoft's Mac Business Unit sloce to a new version of IE and week now, that gap may grow.

    Definitely a good thing to have on the machine for checking websites in the main browsers, but it won't be my primary browser yet.

    At least it isn;t as bad as iCab or Opera though ;-)

    Re: Not better than IE

    You are on crack.

    Get the Pinstripe theme for Aqua widgets.
    IE blows and isn't close to W3C standards.
    All my banks work fine.
    If your bank isn't using W3C standard HTML, time to get a new bank.

    Finally!

    Great rendering engine, but the port isn't too good. Pinstripe fixes the interface, but the eventloop is none to good - it feels sluggish and eats CPU in the background. Chimera is showing what you can do with Gecko, though, and that promises to be the best browser ever. On any platform. Still, I'm glad to see Mozilla go 1.0 - hopefully that means more people will start using it.

    Where is Pinstripe at???

    BTW on Mozilla's own page comparing the Mac browsers it shows IE & Mozilla tied on proper rendering. Mozilla beats IE on some & IE beat Mozilla on others! They show Netscape 6.2 as 2nd best and OmniWeb as worst.

    I don't know anyone who would rather use Netscape 6.2 over OmniWeb!

    IE Blows, I don't use it

    at all on MacOS X. It's true, it was probably the best browser in OS 9 but that's antiquated now, isn't it? IE 5.1.4 doesn't even support PNG or tiff graphics! It doesn't support tabbed browsing or even native spell-checking in textfield forms like Omniweb.

    Omniweb kicks a** and Chimera will probably replace Omniweb when it matures a little bit. Both of these are much faster than IE, too. At the rate Chimera developments and improvements are coming along, it will probably kick any browser's a** at version 0.36.

    Mozilla is nice, but what OS X users are really screaming for is a nice UI and cocoa threading. Only Omniweb and Chimera are in the running to deliver.

    I like the Orbit Skin!

    Go to themes under Mozilla:Preferences:Appearance and click on the link to get new themes. It will give you a window with 2 sites. The first site sucks. Go to the 2nd and download Orbit there. They don;t have Pinstripe, but I have no idea of anyplace that does. But try Orbit, its OS Xish. but different. FAR better than Modern or Classic!
