Mozilla is also free.
I don't want my desktop to be TOTALLY controlled by Microsoft. It's a
political thing.
Mozilla is WAYYY faster than either Netscape or IE.
I use it for my e-mail--it doesn't run virus e-mails like Outlook does.
I can use it on my FreeBSD desktop as well.
I can participate in the free software discussions and bug lists and such.
I can help with the development of documentation for Mozilla.
IE makes decisions for me that I don't particularly like.
Enough reasons? I can list some more!
Since my browser experience starts with text browsing, and moved on to
Mosaic and then Netscape, I supposed I'd consider IE to be the "wannabe) in
this crowd!
