PC Magazine Reviews Firefox, Opera

Posted by simoniker on from the alt-webber dept.

prostoalex writes "PC Magazine reviews Mozilla Firefox 0.9.1 and Opera 7.51, noting: 'Security concerns aren't the only reason to seek an alternative [to Internet Explorer]. IE's slow rendering engine and dearth of privacy features may plant the thought in some iconoclastic minds that it may not be the best browser for everyone.' 4 stars for Firefox and 3.5 for Opera, so looks like a Firefox win, although the editors do point out FF's troubles with DHTML as well as Opera issues with JavaScript."

  1. Legitimate Browser Questions by Bryan+Gividen · · Score: 1, Troll

    Alright, so I loaded the Mozilla suite and I loved it. But when it got down to it there were two big problems.

    1) Resources. I'm running Windows XP and from what I understand, there is no way I can remove Internet Explorer from my computer. Call me a space hog, but I don't like having un-used aps on my computer. I figure better to have an inferior browser on my computer, a little extra space, and less confusion then to load both of them. Can anyone solve that problem?

    2) I ended up using Outlook because the Mail Server I use requires SPA and a security plug that is used solely by Microsoft. Mozilla's mail program going to solve this for me?
