Shiira 2.0 goes official

I can't understand all the hate either. I've only used it a little bit and probably won't be switching to it yet, but it is very promising and also very beautiful. Course folks around here usually hate good looking apps for some reason (why don't you just use linux then? Why are you using a mac?)

It seems a bit slow and also I can see how it is a bit buggy, but the future looks bright. Plus its always good to see free open source apps that look as nice as the ones we are expected to pay 40 or 50 dollars for.

Let's get those bugs worked out!

I tried it since last night and I gotta say I love it... Safari, that is. I can't even close tabs here with Command + W. Ew

17: As a paying 1Passwd customer I hate to say this, but: I think you can use it to do a one-time import of all your Firefox passwords into the Mac OS X keychain, which would make you free to switch to Safari, OmniWeb, Shiira, Camino, etc.

Just in case that's an option you're interested in.

This windows spawning was a problem with previous ß releases when using the Smart Browse Mode (under the View Menu) should now be OK as it has only Single Window and Default modes now.

Check out the great 'View Page Source' - not quite a Webkit Inspector, but this will no doubt come with an upgrade in the webkit with a final release of Leopard.

err.... has anyone tried browsing tuaw using the new shirra ?
I am trying it now. and it is doing cray things, with the banner and text ads. making them spawn in new tabs all over the place.

if anyone knows why, please let me know, as I am a fan of having more browsers than I can poke a stick at, then poking them all.

The one, single reason I still use Firefox is because it has all my passwords saved to it.

And I don't like 1passwd.

When will you full screen fans learn about MEGA ZOOMER and stop fawning over programs with full screen capability?

(You need SIMBL to make it work... read the instructions)

Mega Zoomer gives Safari, TextEdit, Preview, and many other programs a full screen option.

I'm using it now on my 12" 1ghz ibook running 10.4.9.

It's considerably faster then Safari and looks better IMO. I do agree it is really really buggy. I'd love to use it as my main browser because I just love the features it has in addition to its speed for instance flash stuff works way better for me in Shiira then Safari.

I do have problems for instance, the search bar doesn't work and I can't seem to add browsers into the search section of the shelf. Safari bookmarks didn't import right, but with enough screwing around I was able to import them. Also sometimes +W doesn't close windows, sometimes it does. Oh then when you middle click a link it opens it in a new window but auto selects it even if you set it not to do that which is REALLY annoying.

If they can eventually fix those bugs I'll use it as my main browser. Hell for how well it runs, looks and the extra features I'd pay for it.

judging by the screen shots... it looks a lot like a safari clone to me.
but then again, I only use the shiira mini browser on my dashboard from time to time

unimpressive!
