  2. much improved! by wtmcgee · · Score: 3, Redundant

    its looking really good - every release gets a lot more reliable, and has slowly taken over #2 from opera, and is now getting close to giving IE a run for its money. one thing i wish i knew how to do is make a nice solid, simple theme for moz though - i'm not too high on any of the themes i've seen so far.

    regardless - this is not the mozilla devolpers jobs - they're doing a great job with the browser! the performance fixes they are referring to are also much anticipated - speeding this bad boy up would shut up a ton of critics.

  3. Better and Better by Jucius+Maximus · · Score: -1, Redundant
    Just my $.02 on why Mozilla is better:

    - Mozilla is Open Source
    - Mozilla won't accept activeX or other such nonsense
    - You can disable Mozilla's JS window.open()
    - Mozilla has tabbled browsing
    - Mozilla is standards compliant
    - Mozilla doesn't redirect you to MSN (or AOL for that matter) and spill your privacy for all to see
    - Mozilla has a development team that cares about the end product
    - Mozilla has site-specific image and cookie management
    - Mozilla is stable (close to 100%) and won't bring down the OS when it crashes

    Mozilla is The Best, if not one of the best browsers out there and it's still in beta. Opera is up there too.

    Freudian slip?

    Nope. Very intentional play on words. ;)
