x-browser list and Moz RC2 for OSX
I somehow got subscribed to xbrowser-list, the “Netscape Cross Browser Web Development Newsletter.” In among the links to various reviews of the Netscape 7.0 browser was a recommendation that NS6.2 users upgrade immediately to patch a security hole.
A downer: the recommendation of the obnoxious RealPlayer as the default A/V player for NS7. Ugh.
I played around with Mozilla RC2 for Mac OS X yesterday night. The experience is about the same as the Windows versions, but the browser is dog-slow compared to Mac IE5.1. I’ve been looking for a comparison chart of features between the OSX and Win32 versions of Moz RC2 but haven’t found anything, so for now I’m assuming that all the developer goodies (JS, DOM, etc.) are there. More on this as I experiment.
