I was waiting for the final release, which was supposed to be ready last month. I continued to use Opera while I waited... and waited.... and waited.

15. I have them both, but I have to use IE for most video...

I can rarely get anything to play inside Mozilla, though I have winamp, quicktime, mediaplay and realaudio. :shrug:

Doesn't. And the fucking thing keeps timing out when I try to get themes.

21. Try Camino Browser, also from the Mozilla people.

It's faster than Safari, and has similar features to Firefox.

22. Ok, I just said I'm a Mac newbie so here's a dumb question...

Will Camino work on a Mac?

Btw, my Safari and cable have me downloading at TWICE the speed of IE.

24. Ok, I just checked it out...

It seems that Safari has almost identical features as Camino. What would I be missing by staying with Safari?

25. Camino is just faster.

Tons faster! Especially on heavy photo pages. Also, it works better with a two-button mouse, if that's what you're used to. Give it a shot. It's only a 7 MB download.

19. I've downloaded final version 1

and it works as wonderfully as all the previous versions. The d/l site for these is down at the moment, I think, due to come back later today.

If you haven't tried Firefox do yourself a favour and get it. Adblock! Flashblock! No spyware! Get rid of bloody IE, that clunky, bloated piece of you know what.

27. Preview 1.0 here

I'll snag the official release in a couple of weeks when the extensions are supported.

Never, ever download the new release on day one. Personal rule of mine.
