Damn broke. That's what an average student gets when he buys a new car and so independently wishes to pay for it on his own.

Mozilla Firefox 0.9

I downloaded and installed Firefox 0.9, a mozilla-based web browser by Mozilla.org, last night. The download and installation process was a total breeze. I didn't encounter any errors and stuff. After installing it, I went to try it. Here's what I think about this new software release:

Pages load a bit faster than on Internet Explorer (I use IE 5.5. Haven't had much time to download the latest version).
The program doesn't hang and do a lot of error things.
It also opens way faster than IE, which is quite a good thing if you're saving time.
This new version is less geeky and techie than the other ones, which were targeted to more technically knowledgeable people.
Some pages don't appear the way they were designed to (and a lot of pages were designed to work perfectly seamlessly with IE).
You need to do a lot of downloading again for the browser plugins, like Macromedia Flash and Shockwave and stuff.

After doing some research, I read some other reviews of the software. You can view PCWorld.com's here...

If you're that excited about it, you can download it here...

It's not that bad. But it's not that good either. Still, Internet Explorer for me. Microsoft just does it - except for the Windows XP OS, of course.
