Welcome to the wonderful world of BETA software! Back to Chimera for me, until this is fixed.

voidmain:
WTF, does the browser run as "root" on a Mac? How else would it be capable of removing /tmp? And a normal user can't even overwrite their home directory because the parent directory doesn't allow it.

cocoamix:
I dunno, I seriously hope Apple is not taking a chapter from Microsoft's manual and making the browser a super app that can do anything to your system. A browser should be a fucking BROWSER, nothing more. That's what Chimera is and that's what I'm going back to.

xyle_one:
shitty. i guess i will go back to using Chimera. at least unitl this is resolved.

dot.this:
Naturally, the first thing I did when I read that was to print the page, because I was, and still am, using Safari.

It printed just fine. I like Safari a lot. It's the little things, like how it gives you a dialog box when you bookmark a link.

Does it work with root login? Well, I always log in as root. It's my machine, after all. I like to have control. I also have a firewall about twenty feet thick.

I think this is the browser I've been looking for. OmniWeb is close, but Safari is better.
