Marta, et al: I've been using Firefox for quite a while now and I love it, current version is 0.9.1. It's available for download at http://www.mozilla.org.
It's fast, stable and loaded with features and, I know you guys get annoyed when I say this, but best of all, it's NOT a Microsoft product. Firefox is an open-source application. Meaning tens or even hundreds of programmers are working on it simultaneously. The "bug" and "feature" reports at mozilla.org is quite interesting. And for those of us who have to work on two or more platforms, Firefox is available for Mac, Windows and Linux. As for features, tabbed browsing is probably my favorite feature and it seems to work the best of the many browsers I've checked. If you haven't explored this little idea, you're missing a lot. Firefox also features a built-in Popup Blocker that works VERY well. It can also be customized with plug-ins and a number of themes are available. Best feature of all? It just works. Bear in mind that Firefox is a technology preview. That is, it's a work-in-progress. Firefox also works seamlessly with it's companion email program Thunderbird, another open-source product. Current version is 0.7.1. (And since nearly everyone judges a book by it's cover, Thunderbird has a rockin' logo.) Mozilla,org also offers another browser named Camino. Based on the same chassis, it is also very cool, very stable and very fast featuring most of the same features as Firefox. I'd urge everyone to try it. Safari is fine, but it seems stagnant to me. rob Marta Edie wrote: > Has anybody used the new browser from Mozilla "Firefox"? I hear it is > superior in many ways.
