yeah, I've used it for years





The mental gymnastics a landlord will employ to justify immoral actions is clinically fascinating. Just because something is legal doesn't make it moral.

Use Firefox it is genuinely free and secure --- Opera isn't free really software..

Opera is totally free.

The free version used to have an ad-banner you could pay to remove, but that was droped about five years ago.

Ive ditched Mozzila in favour for Opera shortly after the firebird version came out (predecessor to the first firefox version)

Theres is maybe little to choose between them, but they are diffrent, and im far more used to Opera.

Bought up by AOL, and ceased being updated around a year ago when its usage share was around 1% .

Yes sort of --- but it is now called the Mozilla Seamonkey suite same features as Netscape (mail & html editing) but based on a later version of the Mozilla Gecko engine and will acept many Firefox & Thunderbird addons. Works just fine, less cutting edge than Firefox.

All the big name browsers including IE7 are really branches from the same family tree going back to the original Mosaic.

The new kid on the block is Google Chrome which seems to work just fine if a little slow --- if the Mozilla browsers weren't available it would be my choice. Chrome is closely related to Konqueror the KDE browser-file manager.
