A personal thought on Firefox
This is probably one of the most talked about products on the Internet these days. The mere fact that a small group of people have made an open-source software that is far more powerful and flexible than a product owned by a multi-billion dollar global giant is extremely tempting to make a big budget hollywood blockbuster. Yes, I am talking about the new kid on the block, well not really. Firefox has made me a complete fan of the awesome features built into a piece of software that is not only secure, but also far more advanced than Internet Explorer in many ways.
Where do I start to mention the features in this nifty application. There is the tabbed browsing, RSS feeds, an endless library of extensions and themes, standards compliant browsing and many more. Detailed features can be read at the Mozilla organization's web site (http://www.mozilla.org).
The most important point is that finally there is a product that may force Microsoft to atleast rethink about its future strategy on Internet Explorer, now that its overall share of the web browser market is steadily on the decline.
Hope that the guys at the Firefox team can pull it off...
