Phoenix 0.5 released
by Volker Weber
This seems to be my Mozilla weekend. Last week I upgraded all machines to version 1.21, inserted a little warning at the top of the weblog for those Internet Explorer users who still don't care for their data. Now Phoenix 0.5 has been released:
Phoenix is a redesign of the Mozilla browser component, similar to Galeon, K-Meleon and Chimera, but written using the XUL user interface language and designed to be cross-platform.
Phoenix is a Mozilla spin-off that leaves a lot of baggage behind: No mail, no chat, no editor. Thus it is much lighter, uses less ressources in memory and on disk. You build from there and add extensions as you chose. I just installed a preferences bar that let me quickly check proxies, cookies and such:

We are seeing some real progress here. While Mozilla lets you switch off popup windows that most of the time contain unsolicited commercial messages, Phoenix does the same thing but gives you a choice to selectively unblock sites that your trust. Definitely worth a look !
