    In the long run this all comes down to Microsoft and the rest.
    Some hate microsoft, some love 'em.
    I'd still go for 100% open source though.

    isnt it odd that MS ignores Firefox? it's open source, yet they dont look at the code...

    because half of open source code is bloated..,

    then again so is most of M$ code and atleast open source code isn't contradictory and patched together nearly so much

    Firefox ain't that generous too. You'd think they don't make a profit from Firefox but they actually makes tens of millions dollars of the browser if yould read a part of the Firefox myths.

    how much does it cost to keep the project going though?

    you realize that they have to pay for hosting right?

    and how much does M$ make and why don you think it is called M$?

    Wow that says which features it has, oh snap now i see that FF sucks..



    :rolleyes:


    How good a browser is isn't only about which features it has
    - Usability
    - Safety
    - Appearance
    etc. etc.

    You're actually complaining about <s>FireFox</s>Mozilla making money out of a free program with no adverts that they have developed.

    JEEEZ. That is the worst arguement against firefox ever.

    Well Microsoft is Microsoft and perhaps no one can beat them actually. Because the first browser in the world was also made by Microsoft and that was Internet Explorer. Mozilla was made after I.E.
