Mothzilla Milestone 10 Released Posted by Hemlock on Friday October 15, @03:45PM EDT from the the-lizard-is-getting-big dept. GeckoGuy writes "The open source browser project spun out of Netsail has released Milestone 10, with a working mail client, better standards support, and a first cut at the new skinnable interface. It still crashes when you look at it funny, but it renders CSS better than anything else on the market." Download, test, file bugs. That's how this works, people.

And the vendors know it, which is why they're scared. [ Reply to This | Parent ] Re:first post! by Nervous Ned on Friday October 15, @04:45PM EDT (#5) (User Info) Wait until you see the next version. It's going to be worse. [ Reply to This | Parent ] Re:first post! by DomainDave on Friday October 15, @05:51PM EDT (#11) (User Info) Actually, that's a common misconception. The spec explicitly allows it; it's the vendors who didn't implement it. [ Reply to This | Parent ] Too slow by Anonymous Coward on Friday October 15, @03:57PM EDT (#2) It's been over a year and a half since the source was released. It still isn't usable as a daily browser. Navigational Explorer 5 is eating everyone's lunch while the lizard rewrites the layout engine for the third time. [ Reply to This ] Rewrite was the right call by Anthropologeek on Friday October 15, @04:28PM EDT (#4) (User Info) The old codebase was unmaintainable. Throwing it out was painful but the new engine is actually standards-compliant. Give it a year. [ Reply to This ] Re:Rewrite was the right call by Anonymous Coward on Friday October 15, @05:05PM EDT (#7) Citation needed. Where are you getting these numbers? [ Reply to This | Parent ] Re:Rewrite was the right call by DayTraderDan on Friday October 15, @05:09PM EDT (#8) (User Info) This is the most sensible thing I've read on Dashdot all week. Somebody mod this up. [ Reply to This | Parent ] Re: First post by pitchfork_pete on Friday October 15, @04:57PM EDT (#6) (User Info) Not even close to first post. You lose. Good day sir. [ Reply to This ] Re: First post by perl_monger_mo on Friday October 15, @05:38PM EDT (#10) (User Info) Mod parent up! [ Reply to This | Parent ] Moderators on crack by Speculatron on Friday October 15, @05:21PM EDT (#9) (User Info) Why was my last post moderated down as Offtopic? It was totally on topic. Moderators must be on crack today. [ Reply to This ] Skins by GrumpyGreybeard on Friday October 15, @06:03PM EDT (#12) (User Info) Do we really need skinnable chrome? I'd settle for a browser that doesn't leak 40MB an hour. [ Reply to This ] Correction by Anonymous Coward on Friday October 15, @06:12PM EDT (#13) Small correction to the story: it's not the first time this has been done. A university group demonstrated something very similar in 1996. The difference is that this one actually ships. [ Reply to This ] Old news by Anonymous Coward on Friday October 15, @06:13PM EDT (#14) This was on a mailing list I read three weeks ago. Dashdot, always first with yesterday's news. [ Reply to This ] lol by Anonymous Coward on Friday October 15, @06:26PM EDT (#15) lol [ Reply to This ] Hmm, not so sure by overclocked_otter on Friday October 15, @06:27PM EDT (#16) (User Info) I'm not so sure this is good news. Every time someone says 'this will change everything', it changes about 3% of something. [ Reply to This ]
