I'm looking for an alternative to IE. Is Mozilla a standalone program (like
Opera), or does it integrate with explorer?

The main thing I'm looking for is to have a browser which isn't so tightly
integrated into the OS and shell. I feel like everything I do in IE just
leaves fingerprints all over my computer. I need to keep my PC running
squeaky clean for professional audio production, and I feel like using IE a
lot just bloats and mucks up my system.

I do need to use the internet a great deal, but I feel like a standalone
browser which keeps all the cookies, favorites, temp files, etc. etc. in its
own domain will interfere less with my OS. I'll still use IE occasionally,
but I want a less intrusive browser for everyday use.

Is Mozilla what i want?

thanks,
chris.

Mozilla is a multi-platform browser and a great replacement for
Internet Explorer. Because of it's 'nature' and background, it's
a fully stand-alone program. I'm using version 1.2 under Linux,
but I believe that the latest version by now is 1.4. You might
want to give it a try.

Greetings,


Herman

In one word I would say YES.

Unless you want an intergrated Mail Package, then Mozilla
Thunderbird is ya baby. It has replaced my IE browser and I
won't be going back. Opera is ok too and independent of OS,
but it always seems a bit bloated for my tastes.

My typing is absurd.

I meant 1.5b, not 1.3b.

I am sure Bryan means Mozilla Firebird, the standalone browser.
Thunderbird is the standalone email/news client.

Any chance Thunderbird can interface with Hotmail accounts, like OE?
