So, You think Firefox is oh so cool?

Well. I do not. Nor do this individual… Looks like someone discovered what 80 million people who have downloaded Mozilla Firefox have not!

I do not agree with you a bit.

it is my 10th year on the net.
have seen and used, lynx, mosaic, netscape, internet explorer, opera, mozilla and firefox.

opera was always a fringe player, will remain so. I am not happy with the plugin architecture and its extensionbility. I agree it was the first compact standard compliant browser.

maybe you should compare it with niche product like safari on Mac

we all knew Netscape was killed by AOL for Microsoft.

the mozilla team in its new avataar, is doing a good job, after few iterations of firefox, Micrsoft will wakeup to find a formiddable competitor.

i am regularly using firefox, thunderbird on windows and linux.

if you see your stats or any other stats, opera is not in top 3 browser.

wow. so as per u, Internet Explorer being the top used browser in the world would be the best browser available in the market? the more users using a browser means that browser is the best?

pretty accurate assumptions. i cannot stop myself from laughing my ass off…

i am seriously happy being with a browser with less than 5% of the market share…

also, Senthilnayagam, I’ve found Thunderbird to be clunky and still following the UI model of Outlook express, which was never so great to begin with. Eudora has been way ahead of the game, mate.

Addendum
~~~~~~~~
August 30
four days after this article i wrote, opera gave free registration code for opera on its anniversary for one full day.

September 20
It became official, opera will be giving adfree version as free,

This is one more instance, i was able to guage the trend/event before it was even apparent.

FYI I do not have any insider info, may be it was more intuition and reading some firefox basing, which lead to the prediction :))

Better looking Firefox in Ubuntu

Here are some command line steps to improve the looks of web control in Gnome Ubuntu: sudo su wget http://users.tkk.fi/~otsaloma/art/firefox-form-widgets.tar.gz tar -xvzf firefox-form-widgets.tar.gz cp

Firefox 3 is out

And as expected, all of the Mozilla Firefox sites are totally inaccessible. Some people are lucky enough to get through.

Ab kya kahen…

Hmm... I wrote what I felt about Firefox and it got me some brickbats and some bouquets. And in

Getting around technology

When you live around a certain technology all day long, you have to assume certain things to get your work

I made it to Mozilla.org Homepage! :D

Well, I prefer Opera over Firefox personally. But the truth is Firefox is the real alternative for Internet Explorer discards.
