Re: Karsten's browser reviews (updated)

[William Leese <wleese@europe.nl.com>]

being a bit of a Mozilla advocate i have two small comments;

1) lastest development release is 0.9, nightlies are 0.9.1

2) the screenshot is quite old, mozilla is now on its fourth skin, the one in 
the screenshot was its second

i'm not certain if you ve tested the 0.9 release, if not i strongly suggest 
doing so (performance has *greatly* improved, though there still needs work 
to be done on the startup times and ofcourse memory usage) and perhaps also 
checking a nightly build so you can attempt to predict where mozilla is going.

large changes in nightlies (there are many more, but these are the 
ones that i've noticed)

-tear down the world bug has been fixed. when clicking a link the current 
page is no longer directly removed but stays until the next page starts 
downloading (a la opera)

-XPCOM changes. taking off 2 mb of ram usuage at startup

-new skin: modern3. a very slick skin which has replaced the dark blue modern2
(if you wish a screenshot, just ask)

just my 2 cents
