If you remember, a while ago (few weeks time) i wrote here about the coming of a new browser to BeOS land. It's name is Phoenix.

Paul from Bezilla.org has been hard at work on it, as well as Bezilla (where he has done a terrific job so far). I don't know the origin, if it's Paul or someone else, but as of today, Phoenix for BeOS is out in the open, and is being used, shared (BeShare) and downloaded by anyone who wants it. Your's truly has it already and i have been using it on and off.

I have been using it, for Windows, for some time now (i have to use windows at work, unfortunately), and i love it. So i had high expectations for it, running on BeOS. And i must say, i'm not disappointed, at all. Apart from some crashes (which are to be expected, even in windows it does that, afterall, it's only on version 0.4), it's fast, very fast, both at loading (with blank page loads here in 1.66sec) and at rendering pages. I highly recommend everyone to try it out, and report back to Bezilla.org with bug reports.

With Bezilla and Phoenix, BeOS is very well serviced in the Browser Department. And there might be a surprise or two coming up...

UPDATE: Paul (from Bezilla.org) has asked me to post this update. He would like , since this released Phoenix build isn't from his "forge", that those who run it don't report bugs back to him. He has a lot of things going on, and when he is ready to make an "official" release, he will announce it at his site (link above). Thank you all and thank you Paul.
