Try it out here!
I really hadn't tried it enough to decide if I like it or not (might seem rather simplistic compared to most other web browsers). All websites I visited so far with it have been rendered perfectly, and the only complaint I heard about this browser is that it's bit of a resource hog. And it's BSD licensed too (most of it at least, some minor parts are in GPL) , which might be intresting for developers... ____________________ AIM: gamefreak1337, MSN: Emil_sim@spray.se, XMPP: ailure@xmpp.kafuka.org

As far I see, it does PNG transparency fine...
However, still need to check if it does SVG animations and SVG transparency. Edit: It doesn't do SVG animations, but the SVG transparency seems to work fine. I wanted to try to take the Acid3 test with the browser, but Acid3 site seems to be down... ____________________ AIM: gamefreak1337, MSN: Emil_sim@spray.se, XMPP: ailure@xmpp.kafuka.org

I took a picture of it.
Despite passing more tests than Firefox 3, it actually fails some tests that Firefox 3 does perfectly. Hmm. ____________________ AIM: gamefreak1337, MSN: Emil_sim@spray.se, XMPP: ailure@xmpp.kafuka.org

Incidentally, it doesn't pass Acid2 either; the nose is a pixel off. ____________________ hax.iimarck.us |

Posted by Ailure That's not a good test. This is a better test. Besides, it would be extremely shocking if it doesn't pass PNG. |

It's hideous. I don't care how innovative it may or may not be, unless someone makes a Windows XP (in Windows 98 style) skin for it, I ain't havin' it! ____________________ andrew sylvester dot com | retrogaming @ robot vaudeville |

It's not half bad, but I'll stick with Firefox for the time being. |

They should just help out Mozilla in developing Firefox... ____________________ |

This header is useless_____________________________Posted by RT-55J Meh, I don't really care for beta's either. I knew a Google browser would happen sooner or later . I may try it when a stable version is released. I will still stick to Firefox no matter what. It's safer than IE and Safari. There's this little plug-in for Firefox, it's called Ad-Block Plus. It's pretty self-explanatory, But it also blocks ad's that download viruses on your computer, so that's good too. ____________________ |

I'd stick with Firefox too... if it worked on my computer.
As it is, I'm stuck with Opera (which isn't that bad aside from semi-frequent freezing and cache problems). ____________________ |

This header is useless_____________________________Posted by NightKev That happened to me once, When I kept clicking Firefox, it wouldn't start. What I did to fix it was that I ran the uninstall program, and before you uninstall it, there will be a check box reading "Remove my Firefox personal data and customizations." I checked that and then when I reinstalled it, it worked. For me, Firefox stopped working when I did a system restore on my computer I think there was something wrong with one of my add-ons that prevented it from starting, because when you uninstall Firefox without checking that box, it only uninstalls the program, it doesn't erase your add-ons and customizations. So if you are having the same problem that I had, maybe you should try it. ____________________ |

I'm not, and I tried removing every bit of data on my computer related to Firefox and started over with a clean copy, still didn't work. ____________________ |

Well I used it for a bit.
Decent attempt at a browser, but still lacking some major features. Like bookmarks. |

I like the startup speed, but it is pretty featureless. Also I can't use it on w2k, so... :-\ ____________________ hax.iimarck.us |
