  • VIOLATIONS

    Please report any violations of the TOS.

  • Firefox - turning the tide on the browser war

    (Moved to Firefox review in FreeBizWare.)

    Firefox probably need no introduction to many people. If you are still using Internet Explorer to browse the internet, hurry over to Mozilla website and download a copy.

    Simply put "You do not know what you are missing. And once you use it, there is no looking back."

    Remember the good old days when Netscape was the defacto browser and Internet Explorer (IE) came along and simply took over.? This is an ultimate case study in strategy change and execution. Like true core-competences, it is not easy to distill the individual elements that went into the victory. Nevertheless, IE did completely (almost) dominate the browser users’ mindshare. Until recently.

    Firefox actually has it root in Netscape. So the arrival of Firefox is an ironic twist of event.
    What makes Firefox such a huge success can be sum up as this "Firefox knows what a user want and delivers. IE thinks user should do thing the way it delivers."

    What I like about Firefox

    • Extensions, extensions, extensions.
      Choose from range of extensions to extend the functionalities. My favourite being the Web Developer extension.
    • Tab browsing. No more multiple windows on the Task bar.
    • No more script exploits that install toolbars and spywares wthout permission.
    • Block popups ads.
