Lots of stuff missing right now...like command shortcuts and stuff like that, but pretty and fast over-all.

    It's not missing anything more than the regular Mach-O builds are already missing (axcept a few CSS spacing things). I've been using Mach-O builds for a long time and have gotten used to the quirks like having to use the control key instead of command for certain operations. In fact, there is some UI interaction that perform better in Mach-O builds such as navigating and selecting text in text boxes.



    Overall, this is performing better than I expected. My expectations for Mozilla and Chimera have risen immensely today. I was just expecting the patch to apply to the content, but it applies everywhere! I am almost certain without a doubt that they will bury OmniWeb (until we start getting sneakypeeks of 5.0).



    I build my own Mach-O Mozillas occasionally and I'm definitely marking that patch for future reference...



    Oh, and here's a screenshot for anyone who is hesitant to download and try it:

    Brad, could you take a shot of the browser window in the quartz rendering?

    Well, havanas beat me to it.



    Anyway, this morning Chimera, err, Navigator 0.2.0 was released and it now usees the ATSUI patch to use Quartz antialiasing. It looks just as good as Mozilla and OmniWeb now.



    Excellent!
