I was using Mozilla when it wasn't even a blip on the radar screen of browsers. Before there was a stand alone browser project. And when the stand alone browser came out - initially called Phoenix - I started using it.

Mozilla has always been better than IE - except that at first, a lot of web pages still used "features" of IE that didn't work out as intended in Mozilla - because Mozilla tries to follow W3C standards.

Tabs were great when they first appeared - now IE has them too (or at least you can get them in IE somehow - I don't know 'cause I don't use IE). MS always copies their ideas from others - they never come up with anything innovative themselves.

Mozilla will always be ahead - it's open source so ideas come from all over the place and it's always improving. People write all kinds of extensions and ideas from the really good ones can be incorporated directly into the browser. A long time ago, I used a tab browsing plug in that added a few features to the tab capability - now I don't have to because the most useful features are now standard.

I think I used tabs in IE once and it sucked. Even when the steal features from someone else's software they always mess it up.

MS will always be copying ideas from others and Mozilla will always be innovating.
