Everyone's doing it
Authored by: risc_abacus on Mar 04, '02 04:54:03PM

Well im not sure who "everyone" is. What browsers exist for OS X? iCab, IE, OmniWeb, Mozilla (CFM, Mach-O & Chimera), Netscape... then you have all of the X11 browsers and the "geek" browsers like lynx and links.

Now from what I listed above the only broswers I use/care about are the Mozilla broswers... I user the CFM builds daily... which has JavaScript, CSS, XML, plug-ins and yes even java (which is coming along nicely). It displays pages they way the should be... thats the first goal of any browser. Java is support on OS X had to wait on apple getting their act together.

Two last points... As for shared menus... you asked for a browser that works correctly... well guess what thats not need for a correctly working browser. Finally, Chimera is based on Mozilla, which itself is about to make it to 1.0... anything less than 1.0 is just beta/development work. How can one expect a broswers that works the way it sould with out a beta cycle (granted mozilla has a long beta cycle). Chimera is just a side project... to please users who want a pure aqua UI... and don't worry quartz support will be in mozilla soon as well... its all about priorites, what would you rather have anti-alaised fonts or correctly displayed pages first?

Sorry if this seems a tad flameish... but it seem lots of people want exactly want they want now... lighten up... 10.1 is just over 6 mos old the broswers on 10.1 are some of the best the mac platform has ever had... its only going to get better.
