Optimized Firefox Builds

Programmer Neil Bruce Lee has compiled two nonofficial "Firefox" builds based on Firefox 2.0.0.1. One is optimized for the G5, and the other for Intel Macs. He's working on a G4-optimized version as well.

By matching the builds to the architecture, you can expect better performance overall, which is cool. Some of his builds offer Aqua-style form widgets. Which is also cool. Or really a oying. I haven't decided which. For Intel Macs, you can choose between versio with "firefoxy" form widgets or the Aqua-style one.

As we previously reported, these builds are not called "Firefox" and they do not use the Firefox logo. As Lee explai , the Firefox name and icon are copyrighted trademarked and ca ot be used for nonofficial versio . If I ever adopt a pu y, I will call it "Firefox" and gleefully and nonofficially break copyright trademark at every po ible o ortunity. "Here Firefox!" "Firefox, fetch!" *pat* *pat* "Good Firefox."

Thanks B Shubi ky
