Oh, you mean it zooms out automatically? Personally, I'd hate that, but each to his own...
Safari's interface is way cool. But it's a bit buggy, having not been around as long as say IE or Netscape. I use that and also, Camino. It's a Mac OS browser developed by the Mozilla foundation and personally, I think its way cooler than Firefox and Mozilla.

Firefox was a heavily cut down and modified version of mozilla, but it bears little resemblance anymore.

I love Opera myself.. I tried firefox for a while, but it didn't have the same charm as opera. Opera does cause some web pages to run oddly. I always use IE when buying things online, as a lot of the online vendors don't take into account other browsers (or seem not to) and things can go awry...

They took out the HTML editor, Email client, and a few other things I can't remember

When deciding any software im going to install, it has to be free software. Then it will be written well because they are doing it for the right reason, for the love of programming and so that others can benefit from their work. Next, does it work on linux? Besides that i really dont care.

I am happy to see that so many people like firefox... I do though hope that firefox's popularity is something that remains amoungst the geeks of the internet. If firefox becomes to popular advertisers and hackers may try to shift focus from IE.

This is one of those minorities I have come to appreciate.

I agree. Anything browser or otherwise, becomes a target when its placed into the mainstream. Linux is gradually headed to the common user, so lock your boxes down >

I recently just started using FireFox, and it definetly beats IE. No question about it.

I just love the tabbing, quick searches, bookmark shortcuts, and layout.

I just wish there were more add-ons
