Site of the Day for Friday, November 30, 2001
Software of the Month - Mozilla
Many of the List's gentle members using Internet Explorer have become
increasingly irate with its shortcomings but have felt there was not much
in the way of alternatives. Some have turned to Opera which has its own
detractors. Netscape is often considered an option until one is confronted
with the 18+ MB download.
The List has another suggestion - Mozilla. Based on the same Gecko
rendering engine used by Netscape, this open source browser can do it all,
from e-mail to Usenet groups to browsing with all the attendant bells and
whistles. There's even a choice of user interfaces - modern or classic.
Currently at version 0.9.6, it's rapidly moving up to the holy grail of
version 1.0. Its superior bookmark editing capabilities make organizing
your favorite sites much easier than with either Internet Explorer or
Netscape. In addition, the hunt for elusive cookies buried somewhere in the
subterranean depths of your hard drive is a thing of the past with Mozilla.
Cookies are easily user controlled by the Cookie Manager under the "Tasks"
Menu.
The download size is just over 9 MB or half the size of Netscape
Communicator and is available for Windows, Linux and the Mac. Think of it
as a better Netscape, without the bloat.
Stomp your way to the website and check out this alternative for breezing
round the net.
