ukit, you are living in a dreamland.. It's all great that webGL might be a cool new 3D API to play with but it's still a pipe dream. The fact that some of these browsers will enable support for it in their own nightly developer beta builds means nothing. It's unusable for professional work, there are absolutely no tools, there is no support, there's nothing.
When we have tools and full on support in all browsers for this we can discuss it and be blown away. But until that moment comes it's nothing but glorified demo.
That being said, I just downloaded Firefox 4 since all browsers on a Mac are shit. Safari 5 blows chunks not rendering half of the sites correctly not to mention that some shit doesn't even show up on pages, Chrome has some funky bugs here and there and Firefox 3 is a DOG.
I just downloaded Firefox 4 Beta 6 and I gotta say..it's snappy as hell.
I just want a browser that will load Flash and JS/CSS cleanly and nicely without any lock ups or crashes or memory hogging.
On Windows I don't have nay problems.. both Firefox and Chrome are excellent. IE8 is craptastic but IE9 seems to be pretty damn good.
But jesus, on a mac browsers blow chunks. Hopefully Firefox 4 works as it has so far.
- Did I say I wanted to use it on a commercial project today? No need to be so defensive about it.ukit
