A new post-v0.9 build of Fizilla 5/14, the Carbon version of the open-source, Mozilla browser project, is available online.

So how's the Mach-O version progressing?
Well it works. Somewhat better that IE... however using sites like versiontracker some must links to NOT work... the browser sees the url when you mouse over but you can not CLICK on the link you have to type it into the url address bar.
Rendering is fairly nice I only noticed a few mistakes on my quick trial run. Bringing up new windows (like prefs and news/mail is a tad slow). So far I have been unable to resize the "personal tab bar" or remove it all together.

Oh yea it loads slow.
It does not load slow for me. In fact I thought it loaded pretty darn fast.
Faster than IE and about the same as omniweb after you launch it for the second time... it took about 30 seconds the first time i started up
loads fast, renders fast, and crashes often
omniweb is the best...for now
Your wrong its better than IE... i can ALWAYS scroll with fizilla. In IE half the time I have to highlight data to scroll!
I don't see how people can say Fizzilla is as good or better than IE. Fizzilla may be better than IE some day, but today it's clearly worse. Pages do seem to load faster and more smoothly in Fizzilla, but for me Fizzilla seems to crash more often, and it eats CPU. Fizzilla can't even connect to secure sites. IE isn't great, and Fizzilla has promise, but in terms of where they are right now, IE is in better shape.
This thing stinks! I've tried previous builds and while this one is a bit better, on the whole, Fizzila/Mozilla is just not worth the download. If you want an alternative to IE, go with OmniWeb or iCab.
