Mozilla Firebird
By Mark on Thursday 12 June 2003 at 10:47
I have one question: why did it take so long?
Finally, in Mozilla Firebird, I have a web browser that's close to what I want.
- CSS2 and DOM support (and I mean proper support, not Microsoft's version of it...)
- Speed (quick load times and fast page rendering)
- A small footprint in terms of hard drive space
- A nice clear interface
- A pleasing lack of pointless extras which do nothing for the actual experience of browsing web sites
- Blocks popup windows on a per-site basis (YEEEEESSSSSS!)
- Tabbed browsing (if you want it)
- Integrated search which actually works
It's only in beta, so yes, there are some bugs, but even at this stage it surpasses every other browser I've used by a long way. I also have much more faith in the Mozilla community than I ever did in Microsoft or Netscape in terms of fixing those bugs...
Download it now, I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

Tabbed browsing is amazing - when I'm online at home, I tend to always open links in new windows, then carry on looking at another page while the new page loads. Now I don't have loads of buttons on the taskbar to wade through to find that page. Good find Mark.
I'm sorry I can't fully appreciate it for its CSS2 and DOM support, but hey, I'm a scientist, not an interweb expert.

I just discovered the 'open in tabs' feature...
When you open a folder of bookmarks/favourites, there's a link at the bottom which says 'Open in Tabs'. Click it, and you'll get all the URLS in the folder opened at once, each in their own tab.
So good... I've put all my blog and news type bookmarks in there now, so when I want to check if anything's updated, I can just click that and it opens them all at once for me!
