Firefox Since Microsoft has basically abandoned the development of Internet Explorer, and since IE is not standards compliant, I figured it was about time to try another browser. Then I read about Firefox on Jon Udell's Infoworld column. Firefox is based on Mozilla, the open source and enhanced version of the Netscape browser. I'm using it now for this entry, and it seems to be fast and to work fairly well. However, like any beta software, there are some very small, extremely irritating bugs, such as the way the cursor partly covers each letter as this is typed. A small problem, but may be reason enough to seek out another alternative.

Plus, Google's toolbar isn't supported yet, and I use it on a regular basis. There is an open source alternative, but when I read the documentation that stated "please check you prefs settings, especially you country preferences!", it didn't instill a lot of confidence, so I'll pass on that for now.
