However, I feel you’re not doing history justice unless you discuss NCSA Mosaic, which I believe was the inspiration for the original “mozilla” moniker - the Mosaic killer. You’ll see even to this day that Internet Explorer talks about how its based on NCSA Mosaic in the “About” box.

Now all we need is for IE, firefox and Opera to render pages the same way and we will all be happy campers.

That would really be amazing, but I think all of the browsers would have to agree upon one rendering engine in order for that to work.

I use highslide Javascript, and I’ve customized it to work with our site.

That’s definitely true. It’s just disappointing that Opera didn’t offer the completely free version sooner because they probably would have gotten a larger market share before Firefox was even available.

I felt the same way when I was taking the screenshots, but it’s nice to have all of the browsers running on the same operating system for a true comparison.

It’s incredible how IE and Firefox have developed so little. With the exception of extensions (which after all make Firefox so powerful) only a small number of features and enhancements have been introduced — the user interface is still slow, resembling the slow response rates of Phoenix, when accessing menus or pressing buttons.

Anyway, I see Opera as the true great innovator. Each version is smaller in size, uses less resources, has an extra-fast GUI response rate, and tons of features that Firefox has (or might have in the future) as extensions.

IE is the worst for me.
