Mozilla Firefox

The article from Wired Magazine about Firefox was interesting to me because I know so little about firfox. I have used it at work, but it is not my default browser. Prior to this article I have heard that firefox is better, but was never clear about why.

My sense, from this article, is that firefox is better because of it's security and speed. The security may be better in part (as this article mentions) becuase it is new and hackers haven't had as much time to work on it. It also get the impression that the speed is in part due to a simpler design.

I get the sense that annother part of the appeal of firefox is that it isn't from Microsoft. There is something more noble about software that is free and not controlled by the one corporation that rules the software market today.
