2. Firebird rules.
Edited on Mon Feb-09-04 12:55 PM by einniv
Tabbed browser like Opera. Built in pop-up and banner blocker. Tons better than IE and no ads like opera has if you don't buy it.
Built on the Mozilla/Netscape Gecko engine so it renders just like regular mozilla. I would recommond tracking down the tabbed browsing extentions to get a little extra power (like saving tab sets as a bookmark)

Had to change again eh? Because of the opensource database engine firebird?

Link for those who are interested. I predict you will wonder how you ever surfed without a tabbed browser!

It is still in beta though so probably not for total PC newbies yet.

3. I checked the specs, how is it better than Mozilla 1.6 ?
.
.

I didn't notice anything in the features that Mozilla 1.6 doesn't have - (that's what I'm using now)

and yup, that tabbed browsing sure beats wandering down to the bottom to flip to another window !

OH

I was using another "tabbed browser" before - doesn't have quite ALL the features of Mozilla, but is MUCH smaller, and requires fewer resources - "piggy-backs" off IE.
