I'm not dead yet

|

Has anyone else noticed that IE 5.1 on OS X is totally dead in the water? Omniweb and Chimera seem to be the only two browsers in active development. iCab...well you can't really figure out what those guys are doing as they haven't had a new public version in months. It's like some sort of conspiracy against OS X browsers. So if Apple wants to take Chimera and turn it into iBrowser, heck, more power to them. [ModWheel]

It only seems dead because IE has a very different development/release process. OmniWeb is so broken that they have to release quick-fix versions as soon as they can to keep people from yelling at them. Chimera is on a similar schedule as Mozilla, which is early and often.

IE is the cathedral model. But that doesn't mean it's dead. The MBU at Microsoft likes what they do and I'm sure they are working on IE. There certainly is a lot to work on for X.
