David Coursey says "Firefox is making the world a better place". However, he cannot use it for all his browsing because it cannot do everthing that his copy of Internet Explorer, which he has loaded up with many add-ons over the years, can do...Meanwhile, over at ZDNet, columnist John Carroll doesn't understand why many people like Firefox so much. He theorises that Firefox is mostly loved for political open source reasons rather than because it's the best Web browser.
Among my customers, friends and family FireFox is accepted with equal enthusiasm by everyone from the stereotypical dumber-than-a-rock blonde dolly-bird secretary or ogreish ditch-digger to highly technical workers and administrators including "power users". Most of the non-technical people don't understand why they should use it at first, but they are all glad that they did.
I'm surprised by how many rate it as "faster" because on a quick machine I can't see much difference. The absence of ads and functional spyware is a big winner, and a few users report (a month or so down the track) that the internet has "come alive again" for them because they don't have to be so careful all the time. Some of the more techy users go beresque with the plugin thingies, some of the less techy still tinker with themes.
