mozilla?
 

my brother is a linux freak.
told me to try mozilla.org and download the latest browser there.
So I did, but it looks just like netscape 7???
What's all the fuss about this mozilla browser?

people are so easy to impress, every time a non-microsoft product hits the street

It must be one of those:
PC vs Mac
IE vs Netscape
Win vs Linux

think so to... Microsoft sucks, but windows is still the best overall Operating System out there...

I tried using mozilla, but it still needs works, the tab feature is good and popup banner but everything else I think still could use some work, especially the mozilla mail client

...well, for one, it actually complies to the <a href="http://www.w3.org">html standards</a>. [www.w3.org]

Then, as already mentioned, it got some cool features as tabbed browsning and popupblocking (which works really well).

You can also bookmark any set of open tabs. As an example, when I want to check stats.. I click my statsbookmark and 10+ tabs are created with all the diff. statspages. Actually, that alone is reason enough for me ;).

.. and about the way it looks, its fully <a href="http://www.deskmod.com/?show=showcat&cat_name=mozilla">skinable</a>. [www.deskmod.com]

bump, moz. kicks ass :].

Well the reason it looks like Netscape, is because Netscape is the commercial version of Mozilla. Whenever a stable release of Mozilla is released, Netscape takes it, brands it (aim etc...) and reships it as the newest netscape browser.

OPERA is the best of non Explorer browsers

..have you actually paid for the nonbannerversion of Opera?

Yes.

Phoenix is OK, it's a stripped down version of mozilla.

Opera is peppy but I hate that the default config is to spoof the HTTP_USER_AGENT header ('identify as MSIE 5.0') . Every week we get customer support email from Opera users wondering why our dhtml menus and stuff don't work for them. The menus work fine when the Opera browser identifies itself as being Opera.

I also think that Opera has made it too easy to get into the advanced preferences. Advanced preferences should be for advanced users. We've had support email from people that had managed to turn off Opera's ability to automatically follow 'Location:' redirect headers. sheesh, the first time one of those came in it took ages to figure it out.

mozilla kicks ass, i'm using M from 0.92 ver.
