That was when the dropped the beta on the public like a cluster bomb. (some kind of cluster anyway)
Some say W/98 wasn't really ready for the public until SE came out.

Best thing I like about Mozilla stuff, is the fact that it's all open-source.
Anyone can modify the programs to their liking, provided they know what they are doing.

There are pages and pages of add-ons and other bits and pieces on the Mozilla website, that ordinary people have written.

One good aspect of this open-source idea, is that any bugs that are found in a given application are fixed pretty promptly and notified on the Mozilla website.

I go another way. I have shortcuts to the sites I visit frequently right on my desktop so I seldom open the browser directly. My default site is

(google without the ads and tracking cookies).

Our Veesta PC came with IE 7 installed of course, but it never gets used.

Firefox is OK, but slow to start and load pages. Open source is a plus though.

Safari is pretty good, compatible with mostly everything, but Veesta and it don't get along too well.

Google Chrome is my choice. It's fast in starting and loading pages, compatible, and open source to boot. Default.

On my iBook, Mozilla's Camino is the top choice, followed by Firefox then either Safari or www.sunrisebrowser.com/en/
