I don't even use bookmarks (sorry, favorites). Every "feature" I have seen added to web browsers lately is just more crap I don't want. I only upgrade because of the updates to the internals of the browser. Mozilla and IE are both great browsers, but it isn't because of the "browsing enhancements".

For instance if you hadn't tried Mozilla with the Tab browser would you have missed it? Open source is the collaboration of a bunch of people who share code. This has the bad part of often bloated and duplicate code. However it also gives you the chance to get your idea out in the open. Think how long it would take to get tabs implemnted in IE if Mozilla hadn't done it first. With open source you get some of the latest ideas if not always implemented that great.

Paul Watson wrote: How do you keep track of good sites In my head (there aren't very many good sites after all). I use so many different computers that it isn't worth my while to set up bookmarks on each one. Besides, there are way too many sites that make it difficult to bookmark their interior pages (where the actual content is).

;P :-D I agree, bashing some product, give a long list of replies, but nobody reply to real provocation from that post: Don Miguel wrote: One thought, finally: about that "navigation tab"s - nice feature, but... let be serious: in few hours, a skilled COM developer could develop a explorer band for IE, which could emulate this tab navigation... and much more, if he want Yeah, nobody interested???

I haven't actually tried Mozilla 1.0 yet. I just looked and saw what navigation tabs are, and they weren't in the last version of Mozilla I used. I thought you guys were talking about the sidebars (which I think are a waste of space). Navigation tabs actually look pretty cool.

Mozilla did it second, but people think they were first because the users are a bit more vocal than Opera users.:-)

I was going to bring Opera up, but you already have. :) I think I'll try Mozilla out and see how it compares to Opera. "Religion is based on faith, and faith is immune to logic. Therefore, it's impossible to have a logical conversation about religion." -Christopher Duncan, CP Lounge
