subject: Re: Firefox Loses Browser Share, Safari Gains

From: "Frank Haber" 

I'm Wii-less, but Camino is the default browser on my iBook G4.  Firefox is
really a G4 build called Bon Echo, renamed and re-resourced.  Firefox is
kind of a pig on Mac, and my slow machine accentuates this.  And on any
platform, that interpreter-icode-whatever frontend just doesn't have a good
feel to it, to me.  3GHZ and up P4s mask that pretty well on Win.

I'm also starting to worry about FF 1.5 and FF2 forking, the internecine
Open Catfigh^H^H Source development model, etc.  Nothing is perfect.

(I wonder when the Gecko builds will start to outnumber the Linux distros?

(Better duck after that one.))
