Does anybody use Mozilla Firefox as their web browser? I just downloaded it last night and as of now I really like it. The built in popup blocker is really nice. Someone said that it is Linux based, is this right Raptor? ;)

I've used Firebird for who knows how long... Have yet to upgrade to Firefox.

I keep it plan and simple with IE. I don't see a huge reason to change browsers but I guess its all a matter of preference.

After you posted this I was curious so I went and downloaded it. Very impressed right now. Once I get used to it I dont think I will ever go back to IE. Unless I find somthing I don't like which has not happened yet.

Yeah so far I really haven't come upon any downfalls.

Where do I download it from?

While you're at it, here's a download that drastically increases the rate at which Adobe opens up: http://www.tnk-bootblock.co.uk/prods/misc/index.php

Well one downfall I have found so far is that you can not use LAUNCHcast with Mozilla.

Matt D. 02-21-2004 12:32 PM

What is launchcast? Mozilla does not come with all of the plugins that IE does, so sometimes you will find it doesn't work with all websites. It also doesn't handle viewing/downloading files as well as IE. Regardless, no popups is good enough for me.

LAUNCHcast is an internet radio site run by Yahoo. You can also watch music videos on there.

I downloaded the google toolbar and that blocks popups great.

I believe the Google toolbar has Spyware/Adware built into it though, which is why I haven't downloaded it. Here's a good program to check for Spyware/Adware: Looky

Spybot S&D combined with Adaware will make your computer adware free.
