I have seen PowerFox and talked to Jazzzny about it a little. Hadn't seen Machfox until you mentioned it, that is pretty neat. I do worry that I am taking away reasons to use PowerFox by releasing 10.5 PPC binaries of my own, but we have the PowerPC support in the tree so I might as well use it. I had a hard time sleeping last night and thought about it. We don't necessarily have to modify the CSS parser. We just need to de-nest the CSS before the parcer receives it. I have a proof of concept that fixes a bunch of sites using nested CSS, although it isn't 100% compatible with all nested CSS sites yet.

Yes this will get implemented in UXP at some point but I don't know how to implement it yet. It's not like I can snap my fingers and UXP magically has support for it. It takes time to research, implement, test, and verify there are no regressions or crashes as a result of that implementation. That implementation affects the CSS parser so it will literally affect how UXP reads the CSS for every single site on the web. Even if we had an implementation it would take A LOT of testing before we'd feel comfortable merging it in.

I think you misunderstood something here. Web compatibility is my number one priority right now. I already said that earlier in the thread. Basilisk does not, and will never, require AVX for release builds.

I am unable to confirm this. I downloaded six different sets of files and downloaded all via IDM in one VM and via FDM in another VM. For *all six*, FDM made the downloaded files "available" *LONG* before IDM. I haven't used IDM enough to know if this is "always" the case, but *after* 'downloading' a file, it went into an "appending all pieces into one file" routine. FDM did not do this, the file was *available* immediately after the download 'completed', I didn't have to wait, and wait, and wait for the pieces to be "appended together". I don't do a "ton" of downloading, but when I do, the files are LARGE and sourced from high-seed-count torrents. So I just let my "portable" torrent program do the downloading. I've not technically compared/contrasted my torrent program to IDM/FDM. But from what I just witnessed with six different sets of files, I would lean toward FDM over IDM. I didn't compare any other download managers, just compared these two. Truth be told, for MY download needs, I don't like either one, I prefer my "portable" torrent client instead.
