Almost two months since I installed Firefox and not even a single crash!!! I think it’s more likely to lose the browser wars.

The free version of Opera carries advertising messages, but for $39 you can turn off the advertising and unlock additional features.

No features are locked in the ad-enabled version of Opera.

I would like to download and use foxfire instead of MS’s IE but system requirements of Pentium 233 or greater are beyond what I have. Therefore I am stuck with msIE that does work with my system.

Atleast some competition for Internet Explorer will sooner or later force microsoft either scrap IE (I dont think that happens) or DO something for it.

Microsoft came way late to the internet, entered the browser wars under duress, and invented the security problems that plague the ‘most popular’operating system in the world. Microsoft’s penetration of the browser realm, as Mr. Edwards observed, was almost entirely a result of their packaging it in Windows. IE is the single most widely used browser (now) by default. Given the internet security issues with IE, I’d say, Google are would be better off building their own OS.

Don’t chalk it up purely to security for people’s reasons for switching. I’ve used Opera since version 3 back in 1998 simply because it had more features than IE at the time. 6 years later IE hasn’t changed one bit until SP2 with blocking popups. That’s it. No tabs, no autolaunching pages when you startup, and plenty of other reasons.

To the comment made by Mike Lucas: FireFox just left the beta stage 1.0; IE is in itâ€™s 6.0 stage and already FireFox is just as powerful if not better than IE. When IE was 1.0 it was the worst browser on the market, Netscape was doing better than IE at the time when it entered the market but Netscape is crap now. I believe FireFox will beat IE, because of global effort of internet and computer users around the world. MSIE will fade away to the novice of idiocy.

Mike Lucas:

You’re wrong. Firefox DOES let you drag bookmarks around and reorder them as you see fit. I say goodbye to you now. Get your facts right nextime.

Mike Lucas, you are clearly uninformed on both counts and it shows that you have actually not used Firefox lately, if at all. Firefox DOES allow you to drag bookmarks anywhere you want, just download the latest version and try it. Also you can arrange folders in any manner you want. Simply open the Bookmarks menu and click Manage Bookmarks. From there you can arrange folders and bookmarks to your hearts desire. Please use the product next time before you slander it :)
