Why Mozilla Firefox is better than Microsoft Internet Explorer?
[all the links below would open in new windows, so you can click them bindaas]
i can't ask you people to switch to Linux from MS-Windows becasue 1, it won't be a comfortable swichover and 2, Linux [flavour - Fedora] still doesn't have that user-friendly an interface. But you can ofcourse switch from Microsoft's Internet Explorer to Mozilla Firefox web-browser.
i have written about this product earlier and I am writing this again because I downloaded the latest release yesterday [after some delay] and it cemented my belief that it is certainly much much better than Microsoft's Internet Explorer.
reasons i like Firefox over IE:-
1. the size - if you want to download a new released version of IE, then the installation file would never be less than 50 MBs. It would take atleast 1.5 hours on my home-connection with is actually airtel broadband [pretty satisfactory speed]. latest firefox is 5 MBs [just 10% the size that of IE - won't take more than 10 minutes to download]. even the security patches released for IE are more than 5 MBs [not a very pleasing situation]
2. tabbed browsing feature - you won't have to open a 100 windows for browsing as many websites. you can open a new tab in the same window in which you can open another website. you have to try it to feel the comfort that it provides.
3. integrated RSS facility - you can subscribe to all those websites which offer their content to be syndicated with a single click, saving it as your bookmark. all of you who use RSS will find it hugely time and effort-saving.
4. integrated google search - lots of ease for google.com search buffs. you don't have to go to google.com and then search for john keats' poetry or have to download and install google's toolbar. firefox comes with integrated search boxes that can search in yahoo!, amazon, ebay etc.
do try it [you can anytimes down load it from Mozilla Firefox's website or through the download button on my side bar below --->]

Three questions, kind sir:
1) How much does Firefox pay you?
2) Why the overdose of links?
3) Why soooo direct in advertising one's email address? ;)
