Browsers, was Re: This ANNOYING Poetry ad

David asked about my browser that blocks 
images...

Well... it's Mozilla.  The name might look 
familiar because the people at Mozilla were 
the ones that came up with Netscape, and 
Netscape still relies on Mozilla code.  
However, M came up with their own browser - 
it takes up less hard drive space, and has 
lots of nifty features such as tabs and 
stuff (and there were some things that the 
latest edition of Netscape took off, like 
print preview or something, that M decided 
to keep).  It's basically the same as 
Netscape, but nicer about spam.

For example, Mozilla has a nifty feature 
where you can right-click on a typical ad 
and click "block images from this server".  
This is GREAT, because most of your larger 
sites have all their ads located on ONE 
server.  So, do this to one ad, and you 
ban ALL ads from that site, no matter 
where you are on the web.  Only bad thing: 
it doesn't block flash videos/ads. 

Mozilla can also stop pop-up windows from 
loading.  VERY nice feature.

It also has "tabs", which I can't 
efficiently explain, but are very cool.

However, all is not golden.  Unfortunately, 
Mozilla doesn't work with some sites.  So 
you can't get rid of IE or Netscape, 
because you need them to view some sites - 
especially sites with lots of video.  There 
are also a few bugs (it is either still in 
beta or just out of it), so sometimes it'll 
crash.

All things considered, I like Mozilla's 
features best, so I put up with the yuck.
