Just a little public service announcement, in case some of you have this trash on your computers. If you know people/companies using these products, encourage them not to by showing them what it stands for.

Never noticed that b4. But I don't use it on the merits! Opera is just fine.

[Izzy Dunne]

I think you failed to make the case that Mozilla promotes mass murder.

Although I will complain to them about that picture, I us a varient of Mozilla(Camino) and could not be happier. You recommend IE for the Mac, so that shows your complete and utter stupidity(can't call it ignorance since you claim to know what you are talking about).

[Reelect President Dubya]

Explain why Mozilla is Communist software.

Rationally, if you find that possible.

Don't forget FlashPeak's alternative - SlimBrowser.

Nothing but positive results with it; kills PopUps, lets you search directly from the toolbar, has a form filler available, lets you open multiple sites with tabbed browsing AND no Commie logo!

[Sockdologer]

Erm. Sources for this information would be appreciated.
I mean, there aren't even captions on this one!

Netscape v7.1 is communist? This is joke, right?

[TomServo]

You've got to see this one...lol!!!

[counterpunch]

Internet Explorer is also based on Mozilla.
And Linux is all open source, so you won't escape the Communist yoke there either.

While the graphic design is reminiscent of old USSR propaganda posters, I hardly think this qualifies Mozilla as a "communist" enterprise. And headlines like this up on FR just make us all look like silly paranoids.

You forgot to point out that another version of their browser was called "Phoenix". Which means that they also promote a reincarnation cult and probably Zoroastrianism.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

The fact that it is slow, hogs up resources and is unusable is probably enough of a reason not to use it.

Mozilla is a large package that includes a full browser and email client setup. If you are using it only as a browser then you are using it incorrectly. Try Firefox. It is a smaller and faster browser. Same goes for Camino. And they both whip the ever-lovin' pee out of MSIE.

If you find Mozilla unusable then you are doing something wrong. Pack up your PC and return it to where you bought it.

While the overall metaphor of the advertisement and logo is definitely along the lines of.......'Power to the People through our software'.........in the end I think its just an advertisement.

{See tagline.}

[Brett66]

Artwork that looks like a Soviet propaganda poster=Mozilla is communist. Hmmm, ok, riiiight.......

[asgardshill]

At the Mozilla Party website you get a good look at their logo.

Sorry, but I have to call BS on this one. I always considered giant, fire-breathing megalizards to be more libertarian or even democratic than communist in philosophy. There has NEVER been a recorded instance of a megalizard ravaging Tokyo unless it was attacked first (Japanese nuclear testing threatening its environment, etc.). Further, while communism encourages a privileged uberclass which holds all the power and authority, megalizards simply destroy everything in sight without even a hint of favoritism. Even the most recognizable star of the megalizards, Godzilla, lives in the same neighborhood as the Gameras and Megalons of the world - egalitarianism in action. You never see a megalizard living in a dacha (or even a nice bungalow in the Hamptons) or riding around in a Zil limousine paid for with the sweat of the working classes.

[null and void]

Glad I use Camino, instead...

[NativeNewYorker]

I use Firefox/Thunderbird across windows, mac and linux. It's great.

Enjoyable, light-hearted thread. I use lynx, most of the time, and that Commie-Firebird thing-a-ma-bob.
