"A lot of changes are background changes, which are security in nature," he said.

Yes, because security isn't worth upgrading for, right?

Hopefully, its more stable than current and previous versions.

If Opera didn't have so many site incompatabilities, that's what I'd use -- even though it isn't the most stable piece of software I've ever used either.

I'm not sure why its so difficult to write a browser that doesn't crash.

Bhavnani downplayed the new features in Firefox 2.0, saying users might not see a whole lot of difference between 2.0 and earlier versions of the browser. "A lot of changes are background changes, which are security in nature," he said.

Oh, well, if it's just security stuff, we don't need it. Idiot.

I've been using either the complete Mozilla package or some variant of Firefox for some time now, and I absolutely love it. Sadly, at work, I'm stuck in an Internet Explorer world.

I think the tabbed browsing is one of the things I like best about Mozilla, plus the overall user-friendliness.

I also use Mozilla Thunderbird as my email client at home - like it better than Microsoft Outlook or Outlook express.

Netscape with two tenths of one percent of the browser market. Now that's why I call a total thrashing. Whatever happened to the cocky Mark Andresson anyhow?
