Mozilla is...

Many of us remember when Mozilla and Netscape were spoken of in nearly synonymous terms because it was unclear what the relationship was between them. It should be sufficient to say that Netscape was built on Mozilla's open source code. Mozilla's open source code was and is used by many other software developers across the world. Dare I say, including Microsoft. And AOL snatched up the free Netscape browser for their own purposes. Which benefits no one but the king of internet commercialism abuse AOL.

The names of developers and the oganizations supporting the different software titles have changed over time to protect the guilty, but the core values and the unwavering commitment to the highest standard of excellence in software development has prevailed. And SeaMonkey is the sum of its parts.

So What?

For all those years of geekdom, blood, sweat, tears and drudgery! You get the most usefull, reliable and secure internet browser ever created. For Free. Firefox.

Though SeaMonkey is a complete Internet suite, FireFox and Thunderbird with the Lighting add-on is the most popular repacement for Internet Explorer and MS Outlook. Recent stats from the bytepowered.org website shows FireFox with 45% of users with Internet Explorer at 42% and 1% some version of MAC and 12% other, mostly Linux browsers. That is a big change from 2 years ago when Internet Explorer held over 50% of users. Since FireFox and Thunderbird are free open-source software, they are more than worth a try.
