Three Reasons To Fall In Love With Mozilla

Posted 25 April 2002 - 10:37 AM

Read this on NewsForge earlier. It's titled 'Three reasons to fall in love with Mozilla,' and offers three pretty good reasons to like Mozilla. Though they offer some good ones,
  • Tabbed browsing
  • Text zoom
  • No Pop up ads
I still have reservations after reading the article in MozillaQuest awhile back that I highlighted in this post.

Is This A Good Question/Topic? 0

I've never tried Mozilla. I was under the impression that's it's just the latest version of Netscape?

No, it's alot like Netscape and I think it uses Gecko (their rendering engine) but it's like opensource and shite. It's cool. I like the tabbed browsing but you can't make it open all windows like that, you have to right click the link so that sucks major. I'm using a Mozilla clone (I think that's what it is) called Omniweb (not omnibus) for Mac. It's supa sick. I can load dic on dsl in less than a second once most of the images are cached. And it has a dowmload manager that you can pause and it has a pretty nice favorites system, AND it's stable, AND you can set it to tell the server it's a different browser (if someone checks what browser i'm on it tells them it's Netscape 6 for Mac, but I could tell it to display IE3 for Win if I wanted).  And it has a network view that tells you what files are being downloaded from where.  All it needs is tabbed browsing and I would be set! (not to mention that it looks good and uses like negative processor).
