Guys,
For those of you that had or are using both, which of them do you prefer and why?
You can talk about Netscape, America Online's, etc. if you think are better or equal.
It is said that being Mozilla an open source, they can change and correct any bug and whatever they want any time and really faster than any other browser, so in a few time it can and will be a very powerful browser.
What do you think?
Thanks.
Well i use IE at work and Mozilla at home and ive gotta say give me Mozilla any day.
Heres a site that has done all the comparisons for you

"Well i use IE at work and Mozilla at home and ive gotta say give me Mozilla any day"
Im exactly the opposite. Im lucky enough to use linux in work (the kids want win98 at home) & I think mozilla is kak :) I use opera on my linux box and its not that great either. Im no fan of MS but I beleive IE is easily the best browser.
"Well i use IE at work and Mozilla at home and ive gotta say give me Mozilla any day. "
I absoultly agree!
Though if are using IE it can take some time to understand Mozilla (2 minutes or so...;0)
I use Both IE and Mozilla (don't ask why?)
I find that IE is faster (obviously, it's like always loaded in memory?)
Mozilla has a lot more neat/cool/useful toys, it's free, and fun. It's Open Source- that's always cool! It still has bugs (but i've never seen one)- and they are improving it all the time with constant updates, etc...
I guess (never thuoght about it before) i like Mozilla much better...
Thanks for making me think about it Dark Raider :-)

Konqueror baby !!!
KDE rules !!
Konqueror used to have some problems with the Quotes on antionline (they turned blue with blue text) but since a couple of updates that's all sorted now !!
Konqueror does all I need and more..
It even has an intergrated CVS ( I use @ SourceForge ) client ( cervesia ) wich is realy realy usefull...
and Opera when I'm on windows..
i'm a mozilla user. tabbed browsing. can't beat it. you dont have to open a new window (which takes up more memory) to open a new webpage.
tampabay420> if you use quick launch (setting you can either set on install or in preferences/advanced and it resides in the task bar and click to open. very fast.
i'm going to give pheonix a try here soon.
opera is nice and light. not bad.
ie i think is rather heavy and wrought with issues and security holes.
I use my IE most, thoug im also using Opera on my Windows and Linux System..
Mozilla. I only use IE for WindowsUpdate and Hotmail. After I started using Mozilla, I feel so stranded if I'm stuck on a machine with no tabbed browsing!
Cheers,

I use Mozilla and agree with all the above. The tabbed browsing is great. IE is still here on this machine but I haven't used it since switching.
I tried Opera but had problems with it freezing, and really slowing down after a month. There's a new version 7 that I might take a look at in a while, after they fix a few bugs.
I run Mozilla on all of my boxes, Windows and Linux, and have not looked back since.
Mozilla has tabbed browsing and can block pop ups and it is skinable if u are into that. I feel that it is faster than IE, as well.
I also have Phoenix browser setup on my folks Windows machine and that is a stripped down version of Mozilla and I feel that it runs quicker than IE 6.
sometimes i telnet into any pages that i haven't been to before, just in case, unless its one like sony.com or some massive corporate one. obviously this isn't practical all the time, its far more useful to use the proxomitron with the prevent web page encoding on, from home anyway.
seeing as mozilla is open source, i believe that those wishing to exploit it can analyise the source. but not with IE. more exploits are found for IE, imo, 'cause its used on practically all computers, and a vast percentage of them use old unpatched versions. so there is more motovation for someone to find a weakness for IE, because of the increased chances of using it.
im with r3b00+ on this one,
make up your own mind.
Mozilla forever!
I tried IE, Netscape, Opera, and finally Mozilla. I stopped my search of the perfect browser with it. The tab browsing is excellent (I can't surf without this feature now), there are often good updates, even the standard skin is better than the IE appearance, and the new phoenix project seems to rock.
So, I say: Mozilla.
I use Phoenix exclusively on both my windows and linux machines - although other browsers in the arsernal include IE, Netscape, Opera, Konqueror, Galeon and Mozilla (why so many ? - for the little bit of web design work I do, I just like to check out how things render in each of the browsers)
Phoenix gets the thumbs up on both machines for general day-to-day browsing.
My 2C
I'm using Mozilla with the I.E skin pack applied. Like some of the others here, I find tabbed browsing to be a real godsend.
Unlike Tampabay, I find Mozilla renders pages quicker than I.E, but that's probably a difference in our machine specs.
I've tried Opera and was seriously impressed but lost it in a recent re-install, and never bothered putting in back on.
another browser that i've tried, and liked is Reasearch Desk Web http://www.Research-Desk.com/ It's based on an I.E port, but really does have some nice features. (It's not free, there is an Eval tho)
One quick question :- Has anyone tried using Mozilla, Opera, Phoenix, etc etc etc, on a Compaq RIB, and if so what were the results?????
here's your 1c change
Mosaic Rocks. :-)
Mozilla for me. Now that I’m use to tabbed browsing there’s no way I’ll go back to IE.

Mozilla is so much better than IE. First of all since it is open source problems and or holes are fixed faster. mozilla also has built tools that rock (ex IRC client (no real big deal) and HTML editor). THe initial loading or mozilla is slower than IE but in browsing Mozilla renders pages better and how they are truely ment to be view (if you try it youll see what im saying). When i showed all my windows loving friends how cool mozilla is at a LAN party, i think half of them went an downloaded it, and every one thought it was cool. Hard core web designers like mozilla because it renders the page right. Plus Mozilla isnt totally lame like netscape, they took out some of the stupid ass things for mozilla. try it youll probably love it and will set it as your default browser. Oh and if any one knows how to uninstall IE email me.

qwerty_smith, and kanchi, and chuck, havent you all been tabbing in Netscape also ?
i bet netscape is a lot faster then Mozilla works, atleast on my 2000 professional.
I find netscape working faster than IE but sometimes faltering on Microsoft sites.
I think they intentionally do stuff with that. In any case, Netscape is cool for meh.
I like the new netscape 7. Of corse it's practicly a copy of Mozzila but.... better. At least in my opinion.
I'd have to agree with the majority. Mozilla, simply put, is better...
i use mozilla for my linux system and opera on my windows systems, i never like mozilla on windows very much but its really great on linux, really i find netscape to be very sluggish and clunky compared to even IE, the only system ive ever used netscape on a lot is an SGI where we really had no other choice
Opera rocks in Windows, while Konqueror in Linux IMHO.
