Mozilla 1.0 release

[mjc]

Well, the time is drawing near and another browser is about to enter the world...

Mozilla, the open source browser that Netscape is based on is due for the release of what is consider to be a production version (though I haven't had any problems with the latest betas)

Parties are being planned...check it out, there may beone on your area....

I like Galeon better. Its faster and comes with a Google search toolbar, but ita based on the same engine. In fact, the two browsers share the same Java plug-in file.

IE, netscape, etc... are all basicly the same engine-Mozilla. They are all nice, but i think i'll stick with Opera (http://www.opera.com)-still the best one for my " money ". http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/wink.gif

I'm interested in Mozilla. The only bad thing I can think of that I've heard about it is that it's bloatware. True?

I'm with you, iisbob, I can't imagine I'll use anything more than Opera at the end of the day. I've gladly given them my money for Windows and Linux versions.

I've been using k-meleon for some time which is also based on mozilla, but is very slimmed down. It has built in pop-up killing, multi-language support and is FAST...another nice thing is the "cleanness" of the interface. You get much more bang for your screen space with k-meleon...

Opera is nice, but I never fell in love with it...truthfully, I use IE more than anything else. It works with everything and even if it's slower than some other browsers, it runs ok on a 1500mhz system, so I don't worry too much about that.

As far as security is concerned, I have two firewalls (one software, one hardware) and I run AV software. Plus, if you're really concerned with security, you'd probably be using Linux http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/tongue.gif
