has been
released
with many
interesting
enhancements
, including the much talked about
“type ahead find”
. personally, i’m not so sure i see the benefits of “type ahead
find” over regular ol’ find, but maybe i just haven’t played with
it enough. thankfully, everything seems a bit more stable on
jaguar
and i’m back to crash-free browsing. the install broke my
orbit
theme
, but that’s o.k. because i installed the new version and was
pleasantly surprised to see that it now comes with new and
improved,
smaller
widgets. woohooo.
all this comes on the heels of me becoming more and more of a fan
of
chimera
on os x. there’s a boatload of functionality and components in the
application that i just don’t use [ i.e. composer ] and am slowly
getting to enjoy the latest
chimera nightlies
. two points are keeping me from switching over completely.
chimera
now happily imports mozilla bookmarks, but doesn’t easily export
them back into the native mozilla format. import sans export always
makes me nervous. i guess i don’t understand why i can’t define an
url to my regular mozilla bookmarks and just share the same
bookmarks between the two applications. secondly, despite howls of
laughter from the peanut gallery, i’m going to admit to liking
mozilla’s e.mail component. i have high hopes for
thunderbird
– the stripped-down mail component which is being spearheaded by
blake ross
. why don’t i just use the
os x mail
app
? because its support for message threading sucks.
