Firefox is better than Microsoft’s Internet Explorer – My View

I have been using Mozilla Firefox since it was first officially released in (date). I never liked Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. For many technical reasons and for some quirky personal reasons.

Internet Explorer (7) feels chunky, like a truck. It is hard to get going and steering is heavy. When Firefox, is, a fast nippy runner which twists and turns to my every whim!

Also, the entire philosophy of Firefox is that this is your browser. The sheer number of plug-ins and enhancements are amazing. Some of the best include an in built dictionary and an eBay plug-in.

If you have never used it I truly recommend you give it a try.

Netscape memories like the corner of my hard drive

The king is dead, long live the king, yes Netscape is dead, the browser (wiki link) has been booted out of existence by Internet explorer and torn to shreds’ by Microsoft. It has officially been shelved.

But I will remember you, Netscape, the friendly browser. I remember being at university in 1998 and all the PCs had Netscape and not ie. I remember using ‘composer’ to create my first web page. Now things have moved on for us web designers, Dreamweaver, Ajax, flash etc.

Using Netscape to search in search engines, long before Google really took off, when the results for anything where generally limited to 10 or 20 returns. No web 2.0, I would not even say it was web 1.0.

We miss you Netscape.. But would I trade my Firefox in for you…. Hummm.. May be not… Would you?
