If anyone chooses to try Mozilla, go for 1.4.1, not 1.5.  A few bugs (which don't appear on all installs though) nthey haven't ironed out yet.

The only fully-featured web browser that weighs in at less than 6MB is Opera, as far as I know.

Ok KennyR, stick with Lynx.

Mozilla and derivatives are standards compliant, as is Opera.  Features such as password management are things most people want in a web browser.

But still...12MB? Can't someone fit nice features and standards compliency in a package that's really mean and lean?


Presumably you're now talking about Mozilla rather than Firebird.  Mozilla also includes a HTML editor, mailnews client, and IRC client.

The browser has nice features and standards compliancy.

My only niggle with it is that the other components aren't fully featured.
