IE has been vewy vewy problematic at arstechnica. So i downloaded Mozilla since Omni hasn't updated thier browser yet.
What a surprise. Looks like Mozilla is coming along pretty good.
I think I might eventually even move to mozilla full time.
Wow! Whats even more interesting is that more and more I'm using less and less microsoft products. I'm not even doing it intentionally though.
Maybe cause the WD harddrive is silent the RDF signals are being heard more clearly. Seriously if you put your ear close enough you can hear steve jobs talking to you. Very spooky.
Now where is my kool aid.

Why switch browsers when the current one works *fast* and *well*?

Duffman do you mean slow to start up as in earlier builds being crap? Then yeah the earlier builds were crap. If you mean slow to start up as in app launch time, then yeah thats pretty fucking crap too. Why does it take so long to start up a browser? Even on PC's Mozzila takes its sweet time. The nice thing about Mozilla too is its ability to use skins/themes. Granted then it doesn't seem to fit the overall theme of the OS.
Navigator* used to be a great browser and IMO surpassed IE in so many ways. I like its integration of the email program, html editor, and news reader in the navigator interface. Plus at one time it used to be so much more stable and faster. Then IE got better and Netscape got lazy and arrogant. Too bad. I hope that mozilla brings navigator back to its glory days.
Some of you msoft fan boys don't even know some of the shit msoft pulls with its monopoly status and that irks me. Only because there are times where some sites that work best with the PC version of IE. AND NO, THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT I SHOULD GET A PC. Its a choice, and the internet should remain at large platform dependant.
ah well.....
*Netscape is the NAME of the company that created Navigator, although for some reason people call the browser Netscape. A mistake i make too at times.

Therefore I see no reason to update to a more current browser.
But that's just for me.

Hmm, I haven't tried using the skin features of Mozilla but if it allows for a truly customizable interface, it could be my new browser of choice. It might be just me, but for some reason I really hate IE 6. My biggest problem with XP is that I cant go back to IE5.
