Sunday, November 28, 2004On the front page of today's (Sunday's Merc):Why you should care about Firefox Web browser My own particular answer: It's what I'm using to type in this blogger interface. I suspect others will too, in time. It's a pretty good browser. Sturdy, fairly user-friendly. The Tools menu seems particularly transparent compared to Internet Explorer. That said, I like Internet Explorer. It may still be the best browser out there. It certainly does a better job with things like layered iframes (those little windows Amazon ads are in, for example) and figuring out what to do with complicated tables. But spyware, adware, etc, however well they exploit Windows, do so especially well with IE, hence my shift to the Mozilla browser. Which leads to one question: Are the viruses, worms, etc, aimed at Microsoft the result solely of the animosity that company has engendered? Or does IE's place as the king of browsers just make it the logical target for punks with too much time on their hands? That is, if Mozilla does replace IE as the standard - or the two become increasingly indistinguishable as they come in line with W3C standards - will Mozilla become as much a target as IE is today? By the way, no idea what the actual story is... it's not posted yet.
