Communist Software (you may have it)
Minus_273

Posted on 06/07/2004 6:11:34 AM PDT by minus_273

Mozilla is a web browser that is essentially what used to be Netscape. There are many reasons to dislike Mozilla. The fact that it is slow, hogs up resources and is unusable is probably enough of a reason not to use it. You can also add promotion of mass murder to the list. At the Mozilla Party website you get a good look at their logo.

I suspect the only way to make the developers of Mozilla realize there is nothing cool about communism is by sending them to North Korea to die. Not to many people actually use Mozilla, instead, it usually is found under the following names:
Netscape
Phoenix
Firebird
Firefox
Galeon

If you want to boycott mozilla, there are many better alternatives Linux: Konqueror,Opera
Mac: Safari,Opera
Windows: Internet Explorer, Opera

Firefox is the way to go these days. I never cared for Mozilla - I much prefer to see it's components broken out into individual installations.

I find it amusing that Microsoft brags about innovating, and yet they are following the lead of Mozilla, Opera, etc. and adding tabbed browsing (supposedly in IE 7.0 next year or the year after).

I could not live without tabbed browsing.

A BSD user? You must be some devil-worshipping commie. Just look at the logo, and we all know BSD originated out of Berkeley. ;)

Seriously, I am a Firefox user(on my Linux & Windows boxen) and so for it is the best browser I have found.

Proud Mozilla user.

I'm a little late on this discussion, but I have to second your thoughts. I had to dump IE at home when even my ad killer software and the pop-up blocker on the google bar failed to work much of the time.

It got to the point I just couldn't get any work done, and because I'm doing doctoral work in information science and the Internet is my best buddy, I need to be able to get in and get out w/o killing pop-ups all the time or having spyware slow down my machine.

I'm going to have to add this thread to my, 'FReepers are wonderful people, but some of them are completely crazy' file.

You might have a point if there was a hammer and sickle on the picture above, but there isn't.

I'm browsing right now with Mozilla 1.8 alpha. It's great -- my favorite browser.

tried opera, didn't like it.

Probably not, but it ain't. It's a lizard.

Would it be satirical if they had replaced Stalin with Hitler? Both murdered millions of their countrymen.

It IS in bad taste.

The option of having a fully loaded browser, bare-bones version, or anything in between, is what makes Firefox so appealing. Tabbed browsing -- excellent for so many reasons, especially for use here on FR. I read somewhere that Firefox version 0.9 would be released very soon. Since the 0.8 version is running so smoothly for me, I'll probably just wait until 1.0 comes out later this year.

"I think that Slim Browser is a front end overlay for MSIE...just like MyIE2. They're nice...but they're still MSIE on the backend.

That may be.... but hell, I don't care! it works - no pop-ups and all the other nice features about it.

I don't care about the underlying code, just the fact that it works and has no commie pinko, fascist, islamonazi logo. It's just a globe and that's nice.

We all live here don't we?

Somewhat like this:

This isn't a joke it is an actual product. Must be a new trend in Communist chic.

Me neither. In fact, I just dumped MyIE2 for Slim Browser at work (where I have to use MSIE) on your recommendation.

I like it better than MyIE2. One big difference is that in Slim Browser you can arrange your favorites and links as you like instead of being forced to view them alphabetically like in MyIE2. That drove me nuts. But Slim seems to have licked that.

Of course, at home I will still use Firefox. I don't care what its parent logo is. It's not MSIE and that's what counts for my personal PC security.

You recommend IE for the Mac

What's wrong with that? (/ignorance)

Hmmmmm...... - REDmond, Wa. I had overlooked that point. Didn't seem to be communist the day I drove through, but one never knows.

This post reminds me; you have not explained why you continue to haunt this site when it uses the enemy's software instead of that software you stole from Bush.
