I downloaded Mozilla’s Firefox 1.0 open-source browser last night and installed it on my computer...AND I LIKE IT! Here’s a screenshot. Click on it for a full-size view. So far, it’s a lot smaller than Netscape. Try half the size. But then again Netscape has all kinds of stuff jammed into it too. There are quite a few elements in Firefox that also show up in Apple’s Safari browser (which I also use), and that’s because one of the guys who worked on the initial development of Firefox went to work for Apple. USA Today has a story on the initial surge for an alternate browser.
If you want to improve your web browsing experience and you can’t stand how Internet Exploder has become shot full of security holes, or if you don’t like how bloated Netscape is...then go for Firefox! You won’t regret it!
