Compare Product Reviews in this ClassOver the past 5 years that I have been an intelligent (?) PC user, I have lived and breathed numerous incarnations of either IE or it's commercially perverted cousin the AOL Browser; have taught myself programming language in HTML and XML, and tried various miscreants of the browser world in an attempt to ward off active X/java/flash bastardizations that rob me of assault-free web time. I've followed open source programming and all sorts of hostile takeovers in the browser wars and have hoped for the best while secretly wishing the demise of corporate grub mongering organizations that had once promising software.
Enter the Mozilla Foundation's ex-Netscape patriot/java cum laude most honorable Brendan Eich and his open source, publicly funded (at least the suits at AOL/Netscape were kind enough to pony up) browser alternative.
Never again do I need the likes of AD-Aware, Spybot, Giant(oops M-Soft) or any other nusiance squasher. Say yes to text based programming language that strips the multi-layered, extension exhaustive, chrome polished turd down to the basic concept that THIS is what the originators of HTTP probably would have developed if not for the vacuum cleaner/used car salesman mentality that pushed onto us their version of the future.
Never again wil I miss page cannot be displayed errors or the even more ubiquitous FREE CAR LOANS that take over my screen and add to the frustration of browsing the deep dark secrets of Internet Settings, registry key deciphering or command line tinkering. BOO-YAH! To all of you contemplating the leap of faith to a browser alternative, fear no more. A polished interface and welcome user inspired enhancements sends me to a world that I had hoped existed.
Over the top? Maybe. Inspired? Definitely. My time and support will be well spent on a community worth supporting. Mozilla Firefox is my browser of choice. Period. ((Just say NO to 'Do you want Internet Explore to be your default browser?'))
