Phoenix, has reached
version 0.4. New enhancements include themes support, type ahead find, and
number of improvements to pop-up blocking, toolbar customization, and tabbed
browsing, as well as the usual bug fixes.
Get it here."
1.Your privacy can be assured. Tommorows EULA may want you to do a lot of things which you may not like. if you dont like privacy, then ignore this point. ;-). you will be making so many people on slashdot happy. They have given you +interesting karma. C'mon pay some back. Use phoenix. Better still use beta find bugs, report them. By helping in this effort you will be helping the common user. You will be helping freedom.
2.Free. Well since you bought win, it dosent apply maybe
3.Popup Blocking. If you say it dosent annoy you to have popups i think you are lying. I know you will say that third party programs are available, but many of those programs have spyware.
4. Security -> This was your question right? Well mozilla also may have some security issues, but going by record IE security issues have been far more alarming.
5. Conscience-> We all have one. I think you also do
6. Cool ness -> you gf comes and sees the dragon, my o my after boring netscape and IE logos you will show people u use the cool new browser.
7. Ego kick -> ever tried compiling a tough to compile software and see it run. I did kde 3.0beta, that to on solaris with most libraries missing. was real pain... but when it worked the ego kick was great. IE cant even come close to it.

How to make a keyword search? Simple!
Search for a word on google (or any other search engine). Our word ="xyzzy".
When you get the results, add the resulting page as a bookmark.
Open "Manage bookmarks". Open properties of your new Google bookmark. The Location will look something like:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=xyzzy
Now replace "xyzzy" in your bookmark with "%s". The result should look something like:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%s
Now you just add your keyword in the bookmark/properties field saying "Keyword:". We put "g" there.
Done! Click OK.
Now you can search google for xyzzy by entering "g xyzzy" in your location field.
This works in both Mozilla 1.1+ and Phoenix 0.3+. It might even work in earlier versions.

I understand the motives of the Phoenix community: I'd love a leaner, faster Moz. But aren't we risking losing both Phoenix and Moz if we split into two separate projects?
... We also believe Mozilla, in general, is going in the wrong direction in terms of bloat and UI, and see no reason for our releases to carry those connotations.
First, few will contribute to or implement Moz if it looks like (and appearances count) its own developers and users are abandoning it.
Second, does mozilla.org have so many resources that it can be safely split between two projects? Either we have sufficient resources or one gets shortchanged.
Finally, isn't a lack of long term commitment to a product exactly what corporate IT fears about open source? Shouldn't we take extra steps to avoid the appearance of that problem?
Per the FAQ, and in many other places, the Phoenix developers definitely seem to intend to separate themselves from Moz:
it's not Mozilla. It's backed by mozilla.org, sure, but with each milestone you'll see it further diverge from Mozilla.
