Re: mozilla 0.9.2
Hi Ely, Nadav, Harel, others...
Ely, you might want to seperate the things here...
Opera is very fast, indeed. I have it here and sometimes I'm using it. Is it
good? it's good at speed and rendering, but it's bad zooming some fonts and
graphics. When I want to click zoom in, I mean zoom the text - not the entire
picture, for example.
Other problems that Opera - no plugins support (Real Audio, Java [not sure],
Flash, etc), and it doesn't have any kind of i18n support at all..
Konqueror - while Konqueror is getting better every release (and I use it a
lot - compiling everything over night every 2-3 nights), it's still
problematic to run it if you run for example Gnome or Window maker - since it
loads all the services it depends on so memory requirement if you're not
running KDE - goes up pretty quickly.
Mozilla - nice browser, very nice. Unfortunately it's still slow (not very
slow, but slow on PIII 500 128MB RAM), and the hebrew looks very well. I
managed with 0.9.2 to get into Visa CAL today to see my credit card status,
and mozilla showed everything perfect. Same at Globes (thanks Ilya). But
still - development there is very slow. I really donno why it took IBM more
then 18 months to put the hebrew in, but it's better late then never...
So - as you can see - each browser got it's plus and minuses. Nadav said "We
owe it to mozilla team", I preffer to say "it's good that there is
competition and we should always check alternatives."
Thanks,
Hetz
