Mozilla.org releases Phoenix 0.1

Phoenix is a browser based on Mozilla, but with a thrimmer interface. There are still a few quirks here and there, but so far (half an hour of use), I like it. Version 0.2 is also supposed to come out soon.

Version 0.1 still takes 8MB of space, but once they'll have done most of the code cleaning, they believe it will fit within 6MB. Mozilla.org works the opposite way than Microsoft.

You can give it a shot by downloading it from their site

Yup. It has different buttons. It loads a bit faster. UI speed is a bit better.
It's zippy like mozilla in all mozilla's usual ways.

Still, for my light mozilla-based browsing needs, I like Kmeleon.

I *DO* like the default browser action for non keywords in the location bar (Search Google for...)

Early this afternoon, I found that Phoenix was much slower to load pages on Anandtech than Mozilla. Don't know why. It seemed to hang mostly when loading images.
