For the past little while I have heard a lot of people say a lot of good things about the Mozilla browser and how it blows the doors of Microsoft's Internet Explorer. So this morning I downloaded Mozilla Firefox to give it a trial run. So far I'm very impressed. The install was a snap, it even imported all my bookmarks and such and it seems that the pages load lightning fast. But one feature I really like is the tabbed browsing. It allows you to have several sites open in the same browser window without having to open (as in IE) another window. It also comes with a built in popup blocker which is always a good thing and a Google search window in the toolbar. Apparently there are lots of really cool plugins for it which I will experiment with once I'm done giving the thing a test drive. I am not quite ready to hand default browser duty to Mozilla yet but I think Internet Explorer's days are numbered, at least on my desktop.
