Re: Browser options
Mozilla has never had spyware connections. With Netscape you did get Real Player which was bundled as an option which is reknown for it.
Firefox is superb. Out of the box it supports Tabbed browsing Pop up stopper etc. The extentions are very easy to install and to be honest most people just get the ad-block extention and maybe Tab preferences. I woul dheartily recommend getting it. Remember it is OPen Source so if you feel that strongly you can even check the source code to see if there is any spyware in there. However, if there was it would be spalshed all over the net and it qute simply isn't.
Some people like Opera, I never seem to gel with it. The ads aren't that intrusive and as long as you are on BB then it won't slow down your browsing.
If you read many other threads you will find that I don't use Windows so I have futher options available to me. Most browsing is done in Konqueror(Part of the KDE suite) although I love Dillo as a lightning fast but low spec tool. I have also been known to use Lynx(command line tol).
HTH, HAND
