"The secret of Mozilla (as opposed to FireFox that every one raves about) is that Mozilla launches faster than netscape, opera, firefox. It does this using the same trick MSIE does, by keeping part of it resident all the time."
I do not consider this a desirable feature. I'd rather wait the second or so that it takes Netscape to launch than have it sitting in the background all of the time eating up memory and doing god knows what else. If I'm going in and out of my browser then I'm probaby not doing anything memory intensive and can just leave Netscape up all the time.
I also like Netscape's UI better. There's not a hell of a difference between the browsers' UIs, but where there is I like how Netscape does it better.
Well its selectable behaviour, so you don't have to have it. But I gotta point out that memory is DIRT cheap these days, and it does nothing sitting in the tray.
As for UI, the current UI and Mozilla are identical in that respect. Have you actually TRIED Mozilla?
