To add to what "why?" said....

MSIE / MSOE is a volitile combination from a security perspective as
well. Ask anyone who'se had to clean up a viral system, and they'll
likely tell you they missed a Critical Update about IE... whereas
Mozilla is *hugely* less bug-prone. (Nothing's 100%, but DAMN! Its
pretty damned good.)

The aptly named Konqueror. Penguinistas try this trick: Window > Split
view Left/Right. Click on a pane to make it active. Play time. Multiply
the fun with tabs.

Yes, it adds Tabs, among other things. I'm torn between it &
Firebird.
I'm running Avant 9.01 Beta 1 at the moment...pretty stable, but hangs
occassionally.

I prefer something thats being developed daily. I'll stick with Moz!

Mozilla, in the long run, the medium run and the short run.

Speaking of the aptly named Konqueror -- for the *non*-Penguinistas,
check out the dropdown for "Location" on the main menu. Now imagine a MS
product offering choices like these other browsers for opening that URL.
Of course they never will -- they'd be scared to.

I'm surprised no one's mentioned either IBrowse or Lynx yet.
