Mozilla Firefox (the //other// browser)...

Did you realise that Mozilla firefox is just a 4.6 meg download? That's like... less than the runtime for Notepad! (nearly)

Thanks to a shove from Mike Leung, I finally installed Firefox... not as default browser... (for that we have Crazy Browser! [which runs on top of ie]) -- but it's there on the quicklaunch... just waiting for me to see how broken all my markup is...

The current version of Opera (8.02) weighs in at 3 846 436 Bytes.

Beat that Firefox!

hey opera lover:

the lynx browser is only 3.02 MB. does that mean it's better?

In this instance -- size really doesn't matter. ;)

I'm glad to see my nagging finally worked!

Vive La Firefox!

Hey mate, when you start developing against firefox and later testing on ie and find all this wierd stuff in ie, drop me a line...I have felt the pain and might be able to save you some time!

PS... 2 good reasons to use firefox when doing web app dev - "Tools Menu ... JavaScript Console" and "Tools Menu ... Page Info".

Actually Opera is very good, I assume the snide remark is directed from someone who's never downloaded or tried it.

If it was about size the off-by-one browser won at less than a megabyte. http://www.offbyone.com/
