The Open Source Zone-FireFox

With such a wide range of available, and free, Internet browsers, there are many popular choices to chose from. You have some of the big hitters, like Google Chrome, Safari, Internet Explorer, and more. For my first review of an open source browser, I chose to download and look into Mozilla Firefox. It is a widely popular Internet browser used by many, but until this project, I hadn't really used it much, as I am partial to my steady Freddy Safari.

When comparing the two, I did appreciate all of the customizations that could be played around with on Firefox, and the lay out and design was relatively simple, in my humble opinion. Additionally, the cool desktop icon that looks like a flaming cartoon fox wrestling with the planet Neptune was a cute, added perk.

However, at the end of the day, I don't really feel compelled to make the switch from my stock Apple Safari provider to Firefox. There wasn't anything wrong with the software in particular, but there wasn't really anything to write home about either... To me, even though there may be some claimed performance or operational differences between the two, Google looks pretty similar on both providers, so I wouldn't have a real reason to switch.
