Washington Post Endorses Open-Source Browsing
 

The article is initially about Apple's Safari web browser and how Mac users should be happy that Apple developed Safari in light of IE's lack of update since, well, the last browser war (IE4). Pegoraro forgets to mention that Mac users should also be glad since IE on Mac is about to be a thing of the past. He touts the benefits of modern features such as pop-up blocking and tabbed browsing, which is certainly true, though he forgets the most important one: increased standards compliance. The article turns into an endorsement of Mozilla's Firebird, especially its cleaned up preference window compared to the Mozilla Suite. Unfortunately, he fails to mention the project that gave Apple users their new browser: KHTML and Konqueror.

In related news, Netscape has released Netscape 7.1, based on Mozilla 1.4. This is particularly interesting, since, as of today, 1.4 has yet to be released. Mozilla.org still has 1.4RC3 as the latest release.

edit: 1.4 was released several hours after posting this article. So, if you were late coming to the page, you probably thought we were out of our minds. So, in more news, go check out Mozilla 1.4, it should be incredibly stable and has many new features.

I'm running MZ 1.5a. :)

just go down to the 'nightly builds' section

yea, yea, i know that, but that doesn't mean 1.4 is out. incidentally, they did release 1.4 today.
