101 Reasons to Use Mozilla
Plucked from a Slashdot discussion comes a rather interesting list of the 101 things Mozilla can do that IE cannot. Worth checking out.

The first two reasons are enough for me to switch. I've been using Mozilla for about a month but only recently found out about the POP UP blocking. I love it.

i especially like the last one: giant lizards are cool: much more exciting than a blue e.

I got exactly five reasons to choose Mozilla over IE:
1. It's stable
2. It's secure
3. It's more compliant
4. It's (IMO) faster*
5. It's more intuitive in itsbehavior.
If these aren't enough, you're just picky.
* Keep in mind, I use Phoenix. Man, that thing cooks!

I read the 101 reasons. I kept wondering if the author had ever actually used IE. Many of the things the author claimed were advantages are actually available in IE. Many of them were just totally lame. As with all lists, I could - if I were really interested in such a pathetically pointless endeavor - come up with a list of things IE can do that Mozilla can’t. Or that Opera can do that Lynx can’t. Who cares?
Mozilla is a nice browser. So is IE. This whole infantile argument sometimes reminds me of how gearheads argue about whether Fords suck or Chevys suck. As anybody with any brains at all knows, Fords suck. :)

Having recently purchased an Apple iBook, all the while being a PC user for my entire life, I must say that on my new Mac, I much prefer Mozilla (specifically Chimera) to IE. That's something I honestly never thought I would say. I don't know about lists, or any other such nonsense. All I know is that it renders better on my Mac, and looks better too. Now, on my PC, I am sticking with IE6. I just like it better.

OK Tony tell me how to do tabbed browsing,, caret browsing , zomming, pop up blocking, and using the mouse whell to go through history in IE and I will agree with you. Those are the things off of that list that I use *every* day.
