Netscape Couldnt Beat Ie Even After Aol Won

Safari doesnt perform all that well taking up lots of memory when it is active and crashing too many times something ff and ie dont do that often. Netscape couldnt beat ie even after aol won a lawsuit against microsoft in . Not that theres anything wrong with that but if the difference between microsoft and mozilla is not the ideological one many of us were led to believe it was but a matter of corporate profits it just removes some of the anti establishment cachet from firefox but of course my reason for dumping firefox had nothing to do with mozillas corporate profits just like my leaving ie had nothing to do with microsofts monopolist or non monopolist marketing policies. What was left well since i use a macbook i had another alternative safari the built in mac browser now as mentioned available for windows as well. On the other hand the impression that many people seem to have of the mozilla crowd that of a bunch of geeks tirelessly laboring away for the good of the open source program using public is a bit inaccurate according to this piece in the new york times will success spoil firefox the headline screams while the article details mozillas very profitable deal with google which netted the mozilla people tens of millions last year and allowed the mozilla foundations ceo to earn a half million dollars in . The advantages of firefox over ie are well known and obvious to anyone who has worked with both of them and ie tries to correct some of those parities inserting tabbed browsing and native rss reading into the new generation of internet explorer but its too little too late and ie isnt that smooth a performer either.
