Any guerilla fighters left in the Browser Wars?

Ok, stuck with IE at work. Pesky IT standards.

Or lack thereof, apparently... Ba-DAH-bum-bum!

Mozilla uses the Gecko engine, made for use in KDE's chief Linux desktop rival, Gnome. Apple's support for KHTML (they've actually been making code contributions to the project) was widely seen as a blow to Mozilla domination of the third-party brower market. Time will tell.

Actually, you've got the Gecko / Gnome connection backwards.

Netscape "Open sourced" their browser and Mozilla was born. Gecko is the HTML rendering engine at the heart of Mozilla. Gnome's default browser is a Gecko variant.

And on a side note... The WYSIWG editor works in Firefox! w00t!

FireFox!

Hi all-
I see that most of us now use FireFox. I moved from IE 6 to Mozilla Firebird about a year ago. I found the use of tabs to be one of the best options that IE didn't have, as well as the pop-up blocker. On my kids PC, they just install whatever, whereever a Game or other software wants them too. This of course lets all sorts of spyware and abuses IE lack of a blocker. Now with Mozilla on their system, they at least don't have to worry about all those free trips, casino games and whatever else my pop-up.
Because Mozilla is my default browser, I've found that I have a problem when using eTools, because it requires IE 6. Although I have IE 6 installed, that isn't good enough for eTools - which means that to use it I often have to go in and change the settings, allowing IE to be the 'default' browser. When I'm done with eTools, I then have to go back in and make Mozilla the default.

Also look at netcaptor (www.netcaptor.com) - it is fantastic and blocks all the popups.

Of course, for simplicity you can't beat lynx.

Perfect for when you're stuck in a console.

I've been using Opera as my main browser since 2000. I absolutely love it. It's fast, reliable, customizable and has almost never been found to have any security flaws (although on the rare occasions it has, they've been patched within three days or less). Before Opera I was a Netscape loyalist, but Netscape got to crashing more and more often and even when it didn't bring the whole system down with it, I had to reboot anyway in order to get Netscape running again.

I am using Thunderbird for e-mail though, because Opera's e-mail client absolutely sucks.

And AFAIK Opera doesn't use any Mozilla code. In fact I believe Opera has been around since before Mozilla was available seperately from Netscape.

Using opera.
The mail program rocks now. I wish I could use it at work.
