There's Galeon, there will soon be AOL 8.0, there's Netscape 6.x, there's K-Meleon, there's Chimera. These share around 1-3% of the market, dependant on what statistics you refer to. > Surely you'd want Mozilla to have the largest exposure and biggest "market- > share" of any browser currently available. Mozilla isn't a browser like the others though. I prefer to call it a web development platform. > So what if it's also going to be skinned by some corporates and used as > their own custom browser. Then it's not Mozilla, but <company browser name>, yet another distro of Mozilla.
